How about an article on how to install PowerShell on Windows 2008 Core?

Today it isn't possible to run PowerShell on Core.

I heard that there will be a 'special Server 2008 .NET Framework'-version so PowerShell and .NET websites will run on Win2k8 Core.

Is that correct?

Someone get an electrode and shock me whenever I say "got" instead of "have". I sound like a hick from Conroe. Wait, I am a hick from Conroe. Ha! It's funny how you use "crutch" words when presenting or speaking. I'll try to work on my verbal skills. It's annoying me. Not enough to record again though. Grin.

Thanks for the videos Keith and I am just about done with a x64 install under Hyper-V as a member server in AD.

If you download the latest MySQL you may get a 'side-by-side' error when launching 'MySQLInstanceConfig.exe' and you can find the workaround here. http://forums.mysql.com/read.php?11,195569,195569#msg-195569

I followed all these tuts to the T and it just did not work. I think a lot of configuration was left out. For example. My first try around, there was access granted to the database but it wouldn't build any tables. I've been trying all day and night to get this working to no avail. The other times around I would get just a blank page. Then I started thinking about the wordpress config where it asks for a uname. Where does this uname come from? One has to be setup before it can connect to it right? So just how do you create a database username?

Hi Keith,

Thanks for the great screencast. Really helpful. Though i have a problem right at the end here. I go to hit up /wp-admin/install.php and i get an "500 - Internal Server Error".

The only difference on this end is that i followed your tut on a Server 2008 FULL install, not a core install. Though al lthe steps work perfectly.

What could possibly cause this issue? I have done a fair share of googling on this already.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

What version of MySQL did you use? The installers for some of the recent versions seem to be broken and don't work.

re: Windows Server 2008 Core screencast - Installing Open Source Software

At first i used the latest (5.0.51a), but the Instance Config Wizard is broken in that version under VISTA/2008, so i rolled back to 5.0.45, the one you were using.

I realise the 500 error code is very broad. But any help on isolating the issue would be great.

UPDATE - I installed the IIS7 Tracer app and it turns out WordPress was cracking the shits, unable to perform certain commands.

Rolling back to version 2.3.1 fixed the 500 error code. But now i have all new problems. The blog works perfectly fine inside my network. But to anyone else it either never loads or it loads in text only 'notepad style', as if the CSS sheet is not being downloaded.

ANy ideas? Do i need to set any specific permissions? I've heard a little about needing a .HTACCESS file in order to do the IIS equivilent of Apache's mod_rewrite.

Thanks.

Hiya Keith,

I've figured it out. It seems IIS is passing on my internal address out into the internet!

For example all my hotlinks are http://10.1.1.4/wordpress/etc..

It, of course SHOULD be http://srichnet.info/wordpress/etc...

Why is this?

Can windows 2008 core install Visual studio? I can't seem to get either VS2008 or VS2005 to install on the core.

is there no way to use something akin to the php5isapi.dll? or is the only way to do it is to use the cgi exe?
