Hi, I am trying to install SuiteCrm 7.8.3 with…

PHP 5.6.30 nts with MSVC11 (Visual C++ 2012) with Windows 7 Home SP1 IIS 7.5 through PHP FAST CGI
with SQL Server 2014… (installed all the SQL Drivers 3.0.2.2 in the EXT Folder in my PHP Folder and enabled everything in php.ini

And I’m stuck on the installation pre-checks! Does anybody have any recommendations on things to try?

FastCGI

For optimal experience using IIS/FastCGI sapi, set fastcgi.logging to 0 in your php.ini file.

Database unavailable

Database Support was not found. Please make sure you have the necessary drivers for one of the following supported Database Types: MySQL or MS SQLServer. You might need to uncomment the extension in the php.ini file, or recompile with the right binary file, depending on your version of PHP. Please refer to your PHP Manual for more information on how to enable Database Support.

MB Strings Module

Functions associated with the Multibyte Strings PHP extension (mbstring) that are needed by the SuiteCRM application were not found.

Generally, the mbstring module is not enabled by default in PHP and must be activated with --enable-mbstring when the PHP binary is built. Please refer to your PHP Manual for more information on how to enable mbstring support.

Basically it seems your stack isn’t operational yet. PHP doesn’t connect to the database.

You will find more help searching generic information in Google about connecting PHP and SQL Server than here on these forums, where most people use Linux.

Sometimes the easier solution is to install a full WAMP stack, like XAMPP or Bitnami (which has a version with with SuiteCRM included, so everything’s installed in one go).

resolved this by changing that php.ini file from a text file to an actual ini file. When you install the SuiteCRM files it doesn’t do this automatically. Thanks!
