[TUT]Set up your Phoenix CF with IIS

[Nesar]

Alot of people asking how to setup iis with phoenix.etc

I take no credits for this,All Credits goes to Nathan!

What you will need
IIS
PHP
Phoenix CF
Tortoise SVN
Coldfusion
Navicat
Optional
Notepad C++ (Notepad++ 5.9 Release | 5.9)

First, activate IIS.
To install IIS:

In Windows, access the Control Panel and click Add or Remove Programs.

In the Add or Remove Programs window, click Add/Remove Windows Components.

Select the Internet Information Services (IIS) check box, click Next, then click Finish

Now, go to your browser, and in the URL bar, type localhost/ then you should see an IIS page, like this.

Now, we've got IIS installed and running.
If you don't get this page, go to run and type inetmgr and click start.


Now, let's get MySQL.
Download the web platform which you can download here: Download the Microsoft Web Platform
Install that and wait for it to load up.
Click Products at the top

Then search MySQL and install it.
It'll ask you to write a password, make sure it's secure!
Once that is downloaded, you've got MySQL.

Let's get PHP.
Open the web platform, again. Click products, and search PHP and download/install PHP Manager.
Once that installs, restart your server.

Let's get Navicat
Navicate your browser here: Navicat - MySQL Overview - The best free MySQL Client Management tool, SQLite GUI, Oracle admin tool, SQL Server frontend Frontend, SQL Azure & PostgreSQL tool for Windows, Mac OS X & Linux - Download Now! and download Navicat.
Once you've downloading and installed Navicat, run it.
Now you'll see this;

Click Connection, MySQL.
You can name Connection Name to what you like.
Hostname would be localhost.
Port would be 3306.
Username root
Password will be the password you created installing SQL
Then if you click ok, you should be able to connect to all that.
If you're not connected, double click the host name (Which would be on the left.)
Right click the host name on the left, and click new database and name it phoenix3.
When it's created, right click phoenix3 and click Execute SQL then click Load. Browse to the SQL file and run it.
There's your database.



Time to get Coldfusion 9 and to configure it!
Navigate here application server |Adobe ColdFusion
Make sure you don't download the developor edition because it only allows a certain amount of IP's onto the site.
That'll take a few minutes to download, when it's downloaded run it.
I'll take you through the install, step by step.
1) You'll get an introduction, click Next.
2) Agree with their ToS, and click Next.
3) Type in your serial code and click Next.
If you haven't got a serial code, use this:
Serial: 1185-5717-2964-1898-3926-3592 (Credits to Aaron)
4) Click Server Configuration and click Next.
5) Select ODBC Services, click Next.
6) Select the installation directory and click Next.
7) Keep the "All IIS Websites" selected, or configure yourself, click Next.
8) Location of the website root, should be done already, click Next.
9) You don't need RDS, so leave it. Click Next.
10) Enter a password, click Next.
11) Now click install and wait.
If you go to http://127.0.0.1/CFIDE/administrator/index.cfm you may get a page like this:

You can find out how to fix that by going here: Codecurry: Installing ColdFusion on IIS 7 + Configure IIS for ColdFusion in Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008
Follow that, and then you can navigate too http://127.0.0.1/CFIDE/administrator/index.cfm
Use the password you created in the installation wizard of Coldfusion.
Keep a tab of this opened.

Downloading Phoenix CF
Download Tortoise SVN, here tortoisesvn.tigris.org
Install that, and then navigate to C:\inetub\wwwroot\ and right click.
Click SVN checkout, then for the URL of Repository, type phoenixcf - Revision 26: /trunk
Then click ok and wait for all the files to download.

Now, remember that tab you kept open? The Coldfusion one? Go to that.
Under Data & Services, click Data Sources.

Now, for Data Source Name, type phoenix3 and select MySQL (4/5) (Or something like that)
Now, fill this in.
CF Data Source Name: phoenix3 (By default)
Database: phoenix3
Server: localhost
Username: root
Password: Your MySQL password.
Click Submit.

Now, you can navigate to localhost/ and you can make yourself an account.
To make yourself administrator, go into Navicat, click your database then click find users and click it. Scroll across until you see the rank and make yourself rank 9 and click the tick on the bottom. Then you're "Owner".

Congratulations, you've set up your Phoenix CF, and made yourself admin.
I might make a tutorial on how to set up the Emu soon also.

IIS will make your web server run faster and more efficient to use.

I got a small little problem, for some reason it comes up with some random message when im trying to connect to "navicat" the "mysql" I created... it says cannot connect but i know everything is correct..
should i start all over again?

Could it be my firewall blocking it?

It could be firewall try by turning off or maybe your connection details are wrong.

Navicat is just optional because its easy to use than going to website for phpmyadmin to edit db.

hase anyone a free navicat to download this link is just the 30 days trial

[siem212212]

sorry for posting at old thread, but... is there anyway i can still use phpmyadmin? I HATE navicat.


and for example, if i want to use REV Cms, what to do then?

[azaidi]

download the phpmyadmin map.

Open iis manager and make a new connection
ip: 127.0.0.1
port: 90
map: the php my admin map

start the server and in you're browser go to 127.0.0.1:90

you will see phpmyadmin
