PHP & MySQL extension

TestLink 1.7.1
OS: MS Windows Server 2003 SP2
Web: IIS v6
PHP: 5.2.5 (phpinfo.php works great)
SQL: SQL Server 2005

Can't install b/c PHP install doesn't have the mysql extension. I've uncommented in the php.ini, read and tried a bunch of stuff from online, and nothing is solving the problem.

Any ideas?

SQL: SQL Server 2005 -> you need to enable MSSQL not MYSQL

Yep, did that. This is part of what I have in the php.ini:

extension=php_msql.dll
extension=php_mssql.dll
extension=php_mysql.dll
extension=php_mysqli.dll

extension=php_pdo_mssql.dll
extension=php_pdo_mysql.dll

Stupid question:
1. have you restarted you webserver after changed php.ini ?

2. Your attention please:
SQL SERVER 2005 wants strong passwords when creating users.
I've done several tests, but Store Procedures give me not enough info
to create feedback message for User

Best Solution
Use scripts for MSSQL present on install dir, and create your config_db manually

then let me now

Yes, we have restarted. Not a stupid question.

We've decided to install on Linux and if we try Windows again, I'll try these suggested steps.

Thx!
