I am in the process of migrating from a windows based WAMP installation to an IIS based install. I am running the following on the new server:

Windows Server 2003 w/ IIS
MySQL: 5.0.45
PHP: 5.2.4

I restored the database to the new MySQL server from a backup, added the Copper, Copper_files directorys with appropriate security rights. I can get to the Copper page, login with admin . . . I can even upload files and what not.

But when I try to add a project, fill in all the information click save it comes to the next page with the project details but nothing is filled in and the project name dosen't show up. Also when I check the project list it doesn't show up there either. Not sure whats going on . . . any help would be appreciated.

Couple of things to Try:

1. Turn off Strict-mode on MySQL (for some reason this is defaulted on in Windows MySQL installs, a pain!)

2. Which Copper version are you running (version and zip file name). If its an older build it might not be compat with v5 Mysql.

Everything else should be fine.

Amazing how one little setting fixes everything . . . I turned off strict mode, restarted the service and its working now!

Thanks.
