Serendipity Forums

Hello guys..

I'm newbie here.. This is my first time using serendipity. I've got a task which is a bit difficult to running serendipity on IIS and MSSQL platform. I'm wondering if you guys have any thought or idea on how it should be done. I'm thinking to use database abstraction layer or is there any simple way to do that. Would you please give me any spesific file which i have to use for this task.. (to make my job easier)..

Thanks..

Hi!

Yeah, the easiest way would be to take the mysql database layer and inside there, change it to use the mssql specific functions. Then also edit the include/functions_config.inc.php file search the function serendipity_probeInstallation and add "MSSQL" to the array of valid dbtypes.

Since I don't know mssql, it might be that the ANSI-like SQL that s9y uses internally must be rewritten for some other syntax in MSSQL?

to all serendipity users. I'm one of the contestants for lamp2win ( http://www.lamp2win.com ) competition which required me to make the serendipity running on windows platform (iis and mssql).
Unfortunately, this competition due end will be today and you are invited to view and give your opinion of my last result at http://fradze.dev.lamp2win.com
Serendipity application nearly 80% functional on iis and mssql platform and right now I’m trying to make it perfect.
I'd love to share my end works with all of you when the competition is over. Furthermore, if you love my works, please vote me. I do appreciate it.

Thank you
