    Default Trouble Installing on Windows Server 2008

    I am trying to install Zen Cart 1.3.8a on a 32-bit Windows Server 2008 Web Edition Server. The server is running IIS 7.0 and PHP 5.3.1. I have installed the PHP 5.3 patch for Zen Cart. The initial setup page will come up, but after I agree to the TOC and press Continue, the index.php?main_page=inspect page will error out with:

    HTTP Error 500.0 - Internal Server Error

    Module FastCgiModule
    Notification ExecuteRequestHandler
    Handler PHP via FastCGI
    Error Code 0x00000000

    I turned on some IIS traces and found only one warning:

    ModuleName FastCgiModule
    Notification 128
    HttpStatus 500
    HttpReason Internal Server Error
    HttpSubStatus 0
    ErrorCode 0
    ConfigExceptionInfo
    Notification EXECUTE_REQUEST_HANDLER
    ErrorCode The operation completed successfully. (0x0)


    If there is any other useful info I can provide please let me know, otherwise any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

    Nothing? Anyone? Not even an admin?

    A "500-Internal Server Error" is triggered by the server's settings.
    Zen Cart has no control over that, and has no way of finding out what's causing it.
    You'll have to work with your hosting company to look into the server's logs to see whether it's recording the "why" behind throwing that "500" error.

    Thanks, but in this case I AM the hosting company. I have complete access to the server Zen Cart is being installed on. You can't give me any ideas on where to look? Am I the only person in the world that has ever run into this problem?

    Well, you seem to be the only one reporting the problem around *here*.
    I don't see it being specific to Zen Cart.

    You might explore the error message with google or at a site dedicated to hosting-related issues like webhostingtalk.com.

    I'm guessing what you have is a permissions problem.

    Nicsys, you may already have tried this, as it only took me about 2.5 seconds to perform a google search for your problem, however you may want to check out this blog post which seems to detail the problem fairly clearly: http://www.webdigi.co.uk/blog/2009/php-on-windows-server-2008-500-internal-server-error-on-iis

    I would guess that it is the depricated functions errors that are kicking up this error for you, but as I don't have Server 2008 I can't confirm my suspicions. Let us know how you get on.

    Thanks, Celtic. I have enabled those detailed errors, but it doesn't change anything.

    It chokes at this point:

    /zencart/zc_install/index.php?main_page=inspect

    So, if it's a permissions issue, what permissions need to be checked at this point? Also, what can you tell me about your deprecated functions errors theory? Is there a better way to debug this?

    Thanks.

    You could go into /zc_install/includes/installer_params.php and change
    Code:
      define('STRICT_ERROR_REPORTING', false);
    to TRUE instead of false, and then see whether it gives you any useful PHP failure errors caused by your server config.

    Thanks for the suggestion, but unfortunately it had no effect. The behavior remained the same. However, I did notice something: from the time of pushing the Continue button and the error coming up, it is consistently, exactly 60 seconds. Could I be dealing with some kind of timeout issue?

    UPDATE:

    I changed the handler mapping for the site to use the regular CGIModule instead of FastCGI and now I at least get a different error:

    PHP Warning: Module 'mysql' already loaded in Unknown on line 0

    Does that help us any?
