In IIS admin, go to the web site, right click and select properties, select 'home directory' tab, click 'configure', click 'Add'. In the 'extension' box type '.php' and browse for the php.exe (often c:\php\php.exe) in Executable box. OK your way out. Next create a file called phpinfo.php in the home directory: <html><body><?php echo phpinfo(); ?></body></html> View it through http://localhost/phpinfo.php (or whatever the domain is). If you see a pretty page, it's working. If you don't, or see code, consult the docs again. > I think that > I have MSSQL7.0 > on my box.

Sounds like a FrontPage extension, not the database itself. AFAIK they don't give it away with FrontPage - do you remember spending €6500 recently? If not, stick with MySQL. Make sure it's running (little traffic light lower left on screen with green light showing). If not run \path\to\mysql\bin\winmysqladmin.exe. > I have tried to install PHPbb and PHP, but I must be missing > something. > Some step is missing somewhere. The rest is probably best asked on one of the PHPbb forums - got it running on my box just fine (Win2k, MSSQL2000). It's well worth it :) Matt
