Manually Installing WordPress on IIS using MySQL & PHP (No Web Platform Installer)

Having previously installed WordPress on IIS, I was eager to resume self-hosting my website. However, all recent tutorials relied on Microsoft's Web Platform Installer, which was discontinued on December 31, 2022, rendering them obsolete.

To help others facing the same challenge, I took matters into my own hands and manually configured MySQL, PHP, and IIS on my server, documenting the entire process for easy reference.

Thanks so much, Chris! I'm a complete newbie for WordPress and needed to install it on Windows as proof of concept for tech stack changes in our organziation. Could not have done it without your video! Thanks so much for creating this incredible guidance and training. Two successfully configured machines--Windows 11 and Windows Server 2019! Folks like you keep the internet valuable.

Great Video!!! Thanks for the help. I am new to Wordpress and this was very helpful to install on my company's existing IIS, so that I can begin to replace our current IIS website.

Do you have any videos about using Wordpress with user login accounts and eCommerce?
