Hi:

I am not sure if I am posting into the right section.

From the blogs provided on MSDNNEPAL.net, I learned to install PHP on IIS 7.0. And I am able to access PHP files. With PHP I also downloaded the MySQL extension.

Now my problem starts here: where do I get the MySQL admin panel...that is from where do I administer my databases. For instance, while using the apache server, I could access my database administration part via PHPMyAdmin or smth similar to that. Now I do not find any clue to move forward.

I want to make the best use of resources provided in IIS 7.0, do not want to use XAMP for now, but how??

Please suggest me!!

Seeking for an answer

Thanks for the response. Actually I'm still facing a problem. I downloaded the file which shows MySQL Administrator pinned at the start menu bar. Now when I open the link. I see the following window.

and when I click on the '...' button beside the 'Stored Connection', I see the following window. What do I fill in there?? I am using IIS 7.0

PHP is working well, when I executed the phpinfo file, i obtained the following result, which confirms that PHP is running well.

Hi Kushal,

You have 3 options to run PHP on IIS, CGI, ISAPI and FastCGI. People believe that FastCGI is the best for now. Let me share with how to start:

The easiest one is to use the Microsoft web platform installer : http://www.microsoft.com/web/ , just like XAMP, one installer, install everything including well know PHP applications.

If you prefer to manually install:

- Install IIS 7.0 on Vista / Windows 2008
- Install MySQL + MySQL Admin Tool
- Install PHP FastCGI on IIS 7.0 : http://php.iis.net/
- Manual install common PHP apps on IIS 7.0 : http://learn.iis.net/page.aspx/271/manually-installing-php-applications-on-iis/ 

You can still use PHPMyAdmin, I prefer to use the MySQL Administration tool.

Cheers - RAM

Hi Kushal,

If you are doing PHP on Windows, the main site is http://php.iis.net. You can also get many info about IIS there. I you are planning to create your own PHP extension, my previous blog posts below will help you:

Sir:

Thanks for your prompt response. It was really informative. And I've been regularly looking at your blogs, whenever I find an understandable topic, :-).

But I am sorry to say that, I didn't get my answer. If you look at my previous post in this topic, then I've asked help on how to configure the MySQL Administration Tool. I'm jus stuck there. Installation of PHP and others, I did a week before.

When I added the host a localhost, then the error occurs, cannot connect to the localhost.

Please help me out..!!!

Thanks
