Thank you all for your helpful diagnostic advice above. I used a combination of posts to solve the problem so here is a brief recount of what I did.
I have installations of
– PHP 5.1.4 (using the Windows Binaries PHP 5.1.4 installer)
– MySQL 5.0.22
– Microsoft IIS 5.1
all running on Windows XP locally.
Do the following steps:
1. See reply from “llbbl” (posted on 2005-09-27 22:25:00) and do steps 1, 2 and 3 (the explanatory paragraph at the end is useful also)
2. See post from “chebolsk” (posted on 2006-02-24 03:11:06) and do step 2.
That’s all that is required for this particular configuration.
