new install, v7.2.2. but installed PHP 5.2.3 and MySQL 5.0.45 on Windows server 2003 R2. Running the install.php stops at Step 3, no matter what info I put into the database fields the next screen says 'Connecting to Server' and stops there. It never returns an error message. Don't know much about PHP and MySQL but a simple database exists called 'mysql' and I allowed anonymous access to it during the install.
What am I missing? I get this when I install right from the server or from a workstation. Regards.
