[TYPO3-windows] installation problem (Liviu Macoviciuc)

[Nick Cohn]

Liviu,

When I installed typo3 (more than a year ago now) I had the same problem. It
turned out that typo3 just doesn't work with MySQL 5+. See:
http://bugs.typo3.org/view.php?id=2059 . This may have been solved in newer
versions - I don't know...  I run:

Typo3 3.4
ImageMagick 4.2.8
PHP 5.1.2
MySQL 4.0.28
Http server: IIS 6
On Windows Server 2003

and it runs perfectly. I originally installed Typo3 4.0 but found that the
image processing didn't work correctly, so I went back to 3.4. With 3.4 I
did have to try different settings for image processing but I got it sorted
out in the end.

I also had problems logging in to Install Tool. I found that giving the
password via:

<domain name or ip address>/typo3/install/index.php?password=<your password>

allowed me to bypass the login page.

Good luck!
