Joomla Database configuration reverting to old config
Hi,
I am performing a new joomla 3.4.7 installation on my test computer.
Currently I am using 3.4 joomla that was setup using MySQLi databases under IIS7.5 Environment. Everything has been working fine with it. However, I need to transition to Microsoft SQL 2008 R2 database. I am free to use MS SQL as new database. No need to migrate databases.
So far I have successfully created new database in MS SQL with corrent login and new user account.
I have also successfully configured php.ini within IIS environment. I have also installed the correct driver in php\ext folder to connect with SQL server:
extension=php_sqlsrv_55_ts .dll
When installing new joomla 3.4.7, I select the appropriate database and username and proceed to last step that summarizes configuration. Here I see the database configuration using Mysqli as database rather than MS SQL Server.....
Not sure the settings are reverting to MySQL and old database name.
Any help would be appreciated.
PS: I have also uninstalled MySQL instances from my computer.
