MySql access on Small business Server 2003
I am trying to install mysql onto my company server and am having great difficulty in doing so. I have installed PHP and am able to get the PHP info via IE successfully. The MySQL service has also started successfully. However, when I try to access localhost/php via IE I get an HTTP 403 error. I have seen various responses on this suggesting that I need to add a port exception to the firewall, however, when I do this and start the Windows Firewall and Internet connection (ICS) service it denies access to the network for my client PCs so I think my configuration must be slightly different. I have also checked the setup in IIS and by default everyone is granted access. Can someone help me with this - I am only a beginner with this so I can't be sure that I'm even looking in the right places! I did manage to get everything set up and running with xampp on my laptop but my issues seem to be with SBS...

Please split points between olafdc and techsoeasy - I accepted olafdc: answer only and couldn't figure out how to accept both
Okay, so now I'm curious. Was there something else you needed to do to resolve this problem other than what we suggested? Because you gave a grade of "B" which would indicate that my answer wasn't complete.
Perhaps because you are fairly new to EE you aren't quite familiar with the way grades are given. Please review https://www.experts-exchange.com/help.jsp?hi=403 for more info.
Thanks.

Only that I had done some additonal reading on the subject and felt that installing mysql on SBS was actually quite common. We don't really have the resources to dedicate another machine. I have gone ahead and done it on the server. It was only for this reason that I graded a B.
