Wow. Take Windows
Server 2008 Server Core + PHP + IIS7 + MySQL + WordPress, mix them together, will
they blend well and work out as a nice concoction? Matty challenged
me to this blend, and guess what, we have a powerful cocktail to offer after all!

I scuffled around to see if anyone had come up with this powerful blend. Surprisingly,
no one offered it on Server Core. There are bits and pieces everywhere, but none quite
fit the blend we needed. I then decided to take up Matty’s challenge and come
up with one.

With my buddy Matty, we decided to
take a spin for it (He challenged me to it). The whole ordeal was over in a day and
we finally got it working. Thanks to another great pal in the next cube, Chris Ismael
(Interop Expert).

Alright, here is the story on my adventure.
