Hello.

I have been unable to install Drupal 8 on IIS 7.5 on Windows Server 2008 r2 Datacenter. I've actually been trying this for various versions from alpha 13 and the dev version.

To reproduce, place the drupal 8 files in their folder on webserver (i use inetpub/wwwroot/drupal8). Create a mysql db ready. Run the installer.

All works ok initially, select language, choose installation profile. Then it'll check the existence and write permissions of settings.php, services.php, files directory. Once these tests pass, it then goes to an error 500 page.

Any thoughts? I've put this as a support request, but I think it might be a bug. Has anyone else got an iis7.5 / server2008 install working?

Thanks

Jon

i use a 512Mb php memory limit if that's useful, upped it after some initial research into this problem.

Does IIS gives you some error message?

Can't get any other error message other than the default 500 - internal server error (using chrome browser).

I enabled detailed error messages from the server, then got a white screen. reenableing simple error messages gave me the 500 again.

I am marking this "outdated" unless it can be reproduced on the current release.
