From what I have seen on these forums, it appears that they are all but dead. I have seen some people trying to pick it over for info, as there are a lot of guests on (maybe 7-8). I figured out my problem, and I thought I might just go over my personal secenario, so that it may help someone who needs it.

First off, I am using a Windows 2003 server with MySQL 5.0, PHP 5.2.5, ISS 6.0, and PHPDig 1.8.8. My problem was that I didn't have PHP configured correctly, so it gave me a blank page whenever I tried to access further than the front page of a PHP file (like the page after you input all the MySQL information during installation). I uninstalled everything and set about a clean install. I found a few helpful guides along the way as well.

Step 1: Install your webserver (IIS 6.0), and your database program (MySQL 5.0).
Step 2: Download PHP (PHP 5.2.5), and follow the directions at http://www.iisadmin.co.uk/?p=4. If you are using something other than IIS try out http://www.php.net/manual/en/install.windows.iis.php. That is the link I used though, so you will have to browse around.
Step 2.5: It says in the first guide that copying the php.ini to the /WINDOWS folder is optional, but I found that it was necessary for my setup. I always had to uncomment-out the MySQL extensions.
Step 3: Download PHPDig (PHPDig 1.8.8), and follow the directions at http://www.bictx.com/phpdig/document...c-en.html#toc4. I still had to do the manual installation, but it worked fine.

I found those three guides invauluable during the installation process. I will try to check up on this topic when I think about it, so please don't hesitate to ask about any of the info I've given. I hope this helps everyone as much as it helped me.

It still is not quite up and running for me though. I need to go through the configuration a bit, as it doesn't appear to be indexing anything I tell it to. Any help with that would be appreciated, but not expected
