Has anyone else had this issue?
When I try to install Drupal on a Windows 2003 Apache server, I get a pause and then “Connection Reset” error under Firefox. If I then try to install it using Internet Explorer, the installation process comes up immediately and works without a hitch.
I still can’t seem to get the admin ‘Modules’ page to load at all - PHP is crashing. That is an entirely separate issue as far as I can tell.
Recently I had to set up a Wordpress blog on a Windows 2003 server, which involved installing Apache, PHP and MySQL. Everything went pretty well - except for the typical PHP.ini problems I shall write about later.
Once the database was set up and I had the blog running, I tried to adjust the permalink structure using .htaccess rewrite rules so they would be more human-readable.
Out of the box, mod_rewrite isn’t enabled on Windows Apache.
The steps I took to resolve the problem were:
It works like a charm, now. All the tools ship with Apache, it’s just a matter of configuring them as needed.
