If you have been looking for a way to get the popular Joomla Content Management system running on Windows with IIS, you may have run into many problems. In fact, many people spend days trying to get Joomla running on IIS and run into roadblock after roadblock. The problem is getting PHP, MySQL, Joomla and IIS to all play nicely together. As you search for solutions, it is easy to find part of the answer, but rarely do you find it all in one place... until now.

In this video tutorial we start with a fresh Windows 2003 server and go through every step needed to get Joomla running on it with IIS. We download and install PHP5 and MySQL, tweak the settings of the PHP.INI file, configure IIS to operate with PHP and MySQL, then finally download, install and test Joomla.

The tutorial is divided into 3 parts. In part one, we make sure IIS is operating and get PHP5 installed. In part 2, we get MySQL installed and running. Finally, in part 3, we configure the PHP.INI file and get Joomla installed on our server.

Great Tutorial
written by Tony Robson, September 12, 2008

This is an excellent tutorial and 100% worth it

I just found that on some PC's i could not view it and it did not tell me to download anything so I was not able to "fix" the problem

A really great bonus would be the ability to download and view in Windows Media Player

Thanks again - it was a great help to me

Hi Chris,

It is pretty much the same. I'm working on one installing 1.5 in Windows 2008 right now, then will move over to Apache videos, too.
