[TYPO3-windows] Installing on IIS

[Ernst van Altena]

Hello Simon,

Typo3 in running without any problems on a wondows platfom. The problems 
with the database connection could be solved by using an ODBC connention. 
Install the ODBC driver from the MySql website and it works.
The first time you connect to your database don't use a password on the 
database user, once you are connected you can adjust a password. Otherwise 
you could have connection problems with the database.
An other problem you have to solve is real url if you are working with IIS 
as webserver it's a disaster to configure it!! So if I was you I would use 
Apache, but thats your choice. If you are working without real url typo3 
works perfect!
If you want to use realurl on IIS please use iaspi rewrite thats the best 
working apllication to get real url working on IIS. the problem is thats you 
have to make exclusions for every dirctory in the fileadmin, for the typo3 
back end, the install tool etc. etc.

If you have any problems contact me.

Kind regards and succes
