Magento with Windows IIS

andy18    Others     Magento installation Windows

Magento has been around at the market for some time and it has become popular. The application is designed to run well in Linux environment but it also works with Windows. There’s not much installation notes at the Magento Wiki. As I try to poke around to get it up and running on the Windows 2003 running IIS6, I came across with some issues.

Some googling around I have came across this “Guide to Successfull Magento installation @ IIS” which I have found it has all the things you need to pick up. Take note about the PHP configuration on the IIS, if you are not able to make it work with the ISAPI option, try change it to the php-cgi.exe module. Have fun!

Helm3 : File Manager Not Showing any Files

If you are running Helm version 3 and your Helm control panel is not listing any files from the server owned by your domain ( after you have confirmed there’s files uploaded ), try uninstall and re-install the File and Print services at your server’s NIC. Make sure you select the correct options to uninstall if this is a production server or else it will be a pretty nasty crash on your server.
