There is a way to run Zend framework under IIS 7.0 in a very convenient way. read my blog post about this if it sound interesting not having to have a dual-webserver-setup on your machine. Together with Fastcgi, PHP works perfectly under windows.

Hope this helps some people. I had to figure this out by myself as the module if pretty new

@TractorTyre,

No problem. If you get it fixed an update would be good – there seem to be a lot of people coming by this page with that error.

Good luck with it!

Hi Dave,
thanks for the reply. I did not have the time to deal with the problem again. I was planning to uninstall everything and install again clean. I’ll let you know how it went.

@TractorTyre

Hi, sorry about the delay getting back to you!

The steps I followed to fix the problem are all described above, so I’m not sure what else could be causing the error you’re getting.

Have you installed the PHP PDO extension? (I’ve also got the declaration “extension=php_pdo.dll” uncommented in the php.ini file (in Program Files/PHP).

Is that of any help?

I have the smae problem and I was happy to find your post about it. I did all the steps you describe, and I still get the same error… I’m getting a bit desperate. I’m sure there is something obvious I oversee, but what is it…? Any idea?

@Alex Thanks for that, I've used those type of bundles on other machines before, such as The WAMP Server and XAMPP. In this case, I already had PHP & MySQL installed, and didn't want to reinstall both again.

Consider http://www.witsuite.com to install and configure Apache, PHP, MySQL on Windows. It is simple and efficient (installation demo: http://www.witsuite.com/products/installer/). If you prefer to install packages manually, you can use the instruction at http://www.witsuite.com/support/knowledge-base/manual-installation/install-php.php
