I'm trying to install XOOPS v2.0.13.2 on Windows Server 2003 SP1 on IIS6.

PHP 4.4.1 and MySQL 4.0.26 works fine but I need to run newer versions for other services based on the same server.
PHP 4.4.1 and MySQL 5.0.17 and 4.0.26 fails stating that it "cannot detect the database version"
PHP 5.1.1 and MySQL 4.0.26 fails giving errors during the process of writing to the mainfile.php
PHP 5.1.1 and MySQL 5.0.17 fails stating that is "cannot detect the database version"

The XOOPS FAQ clearly states that PHP 5.1 is supported...what gives?

I set everything up in a virtual server....100% identical configurations except the PHP/MySQL versions.

Can anyone shed some light on this frustration situation? Also, I couldn't find a FAQ stating whether or not MySQL 5 is supported, does anyone know if it's "supposed" to work?

FYI...screenshots are available upon request.

Read this last Forum Post in this thread from skalpa about MySQL 5 support.

PHP 5 the MySQL module is not included (that I have read anyway, have not used it) and needs to be added to use MySQL with PHP 5, check the PHP docs.

Yes, I have enabled the MySQL extensions. I aso made a post in the thread you linked wiht more info. For the time being, I'll stick with PHP 4.4.1 and MySQL 4.0.26.
