Yii on IIS 5.1 consuming a web service on IIS 5.1

Yii 1.1 General Discussion

Hi all,

Noob here (just downloaded Yii last week, haven’t touched PHP for 4 years, etc…). I was doing a discovery effort - mainly trying to create a simple page that can convert temperature (C to F and F to C) by consuming a web service - seeing what it would take.

I’ve documented the trials and tribulations I went through here (excuse my writing - I haven’t proofread at all): My Blog

It’s kind of a lot to copy and paste here.

It’s been kind of a pain so far, as I realize most frameworks are when you first start with them. The biggest problems I’ve ran into are documentation for IIS. Does it get any easier as I slosh past the learing period, or is IIS a lost cause for Yii for now? Does almost everyone else here use Apache?

Thanks!

I think most people do use apache. Why don’t you try? I used to be an IIS only person years ago, but now I prefer apache because I find it simpler.

An easy way to start would be to use WAMP: Click here

Good luck.
