I am trying to install lime survey on my local using windows, xamp and sql server.

I have successfully created database but when i populate the database on step 4 (configuration). I got the below error.



Error :

Please fix the following input errors:

There were errors when trying to populate the database:

Which version of PHP is used?
You shoud investigate the MSSQL PHP connection drivers.
PDO_SQLSRV is needed.

Take a look at the SQL PHP team blog. There are the links to installation packages for drivers to get PHP and SQLServer running smooth.

Or here: msdn.microsoft.com/library/dn865013.aspx

My PHP version is 5.6.30. I have added correct libraries of SQL Server. But, was facing the same issue.

Then i have manually updated the query synatx from below

INSERT INTO prefix_boxes ([position], [url], [title], [ico], [desc], [page], [usergroup]) VALUES
(1, 'admin/survey/sa/newsurvey', 'Create survey', 'add', 'Create a new survey', 'welcome', '-2'),
(2, 'admin/survey/sa/listsurveys', 'List surveys', 'list', 'List available surveys', 'welcome', '-1'),
(3, 'admin/globalsettings', 'Global settings', 'settings', 'Edit global settings', 'welcome', '-2'),
(4, 'admin/update', 'ComfortUpdate', 'shield', 'Stay safe and up to date', 'welcome', '-2'),
(5, 'admin/labels/sa/view', 'Label sets', 'label','Edit label sets', 'welcome', '-2'),
(6, 'admin/templates/sa/view', 'Template editor', 'templates', 'Edit LimeSurvey templates', 'welcome', '-2');


to

INSERT INTO prefix_boxes ([position], [/url][url], [title], [ico], [desc], [page], [usergroup]) Select 1, 'admin/survey/sa/newsurvey', 'Create survey', 'add', 'Create a new survey', 'welcome', '-2' UNION ALL Select 2, 'admin/survey/sa/listsurveys', 'List surveys', 'list', 'List available surveys', 'welcome', '-1' UNION ALL Select 3, 'admin/globalsettings', 'Global settings', 'settings', 'Edit global settings', 'welcome', '-2' UNION ALL Select 4, 'admin/update', 'ComfortUpdate', 'shield', 'Stay safe and up to date', 'welcome', '-2' UNION ALL Select 5, 'admin/labels/sa/view', 'Label sets', 'label','Edit label sets', 'welcome', '-2' UNION ALL Select 6, 'admin/templates/sa/view', 'Template editor', 'templates', 'Edit LimeSurvey templates', 'welcome', '-2'

After changing , i have successfully installed the lime survey. Now i am facing another issue. I have created new Survey and activated it. When, i filled and submit the survey, it did not save any survey responses.

Please help ![/url]

Correcting the query string syntax by hand doesn't sound like the correct database / php connection is established.

What version/build of LimeSurvey do you try to install?
What version of Microsoft SQLServer is running?
What did you install as PHP SQLServer connection extension?


Modifying installer scripts (SQL inserts) by hand isn't getting you anywhere in the long run.
If the installer isn't finishing without errors, there is a issue with the installer or your environment around XAMP and SQL Server.

Please see below !

What version/build of LimeSurvey do you try to install?

---

Version 2.53 , PHP 5.6
What version of Microsoft SQLServer is running?

---

SQL Server 2005
What did you install as PHP SQLServer connection extension?

---

php_sqlsrv_56_ts , php_pdo_sqlsrv_56_ts

Take a look at the support of SQL Server 2005 with the different extensions.
docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/connect/php...r-the-php-sql-driver

Microsoft Drivers for PHP for SQL Server version 3.1 and later support SQL Server 2008 and later

php_sqlsrv_56_ts.dll and php_pdo_sqlsrv_56_ts.dll are version 3.2.

So Microsoft is not stating that your combination will work.
I've no SQL Server 2005 at hand to check. SQL 2005 is EOL since 12th April 2016.
Still could be an installer issue but I cannot reproduce the environment.
Perhaps there is a user with SQL 2005 still running.
