i seem to be missing something but can't figure it out. i've tried everything in the other posts relating to this issue and still no luck.



any suggestions?



i'm running windows 2000 server and iis5.



i had no errors during the install.

Matrix uses apache aliases to map the urls to specific locations. I’m not sure how IIS works, or if you can acheive something similar.


maybe this may help

IIS does not natively support the types of aliases we use for Matrix. You will need to run Apache on Windows to run Matrix successfully.

I have one web server an am running IIS. Can i run IIS and Apache? What would you recommend I do?

You can run IIS and Apache at the same time, but not on the default port (80). You could put Apache on port 8080, for example. Then, all your URLs will need the port appended, in the format http://www.domain.com:8080

Sounds like a plan! Thanks.

Take a look around for a WAMP (Windows/Apache/MySQL/PHP) installer – it installs (almost) everything you need in one go. :slight_smile:

Thank you guys for the help. I installed Apache, configured it and ran throught the matrix install and it seemed to work fine. One problem though, I can't seem to login.




I get this:



User not found



Currently Logged in as : [Not Logged In]



You need to login before you can access the backend



Any suggestions. I can't login to create a user.

The default username is "root" and the password is the one you provided during the installation process. :slight_smile:
