So I got enthusiastic last night and installed a web server (IIS on XPpro), PHP, mySQL, phpmyadmin, and EE. Perhaps a bit ambitious for my skill level :-)
I can see my simple test web page fine publicly, and I can use phpmyadmin fine with my root/password settings in my config.inc.php file.
In mySQL I created a database called eephotos. I didn't touch it, following the install instructions given on this website. I changed my gallery/add/connect.php to reflect "eephotos", "localhost" or my absolute URL (tried both), "root", and my phpmyadmin root password from above. The EE install was successful, despite the uncertain IIS support.
BUT, when I try to open gallery, or gallery/input, as per install instruction #8, I get a forbidden 403 error. I assumed the gallery/input error was due to some password error, but then it occured to me that gallery itself should be freely visible regardless of root password, no? I haven't modified any web sharing/authentication settings in Windows, for better or for worse. I just installed things in C:\Inetpub\wwwroot.
Anyway, I realize this post is rambling, but if anyone patient can suggest some (likely obvious) thing that I may have overlooked in my enthusiasm that is preventing me from setting this up, I truly appreciate it. EE seems like an awesome product and I am eager to give it a spin. Usually I'm good with recipe installations, but not this time.
Thanks,
