PHP4 + mySQL + phpMyAdmin problems on IIS 5.0

Hi, I'm wondering if someone using the PHP4 beta on IIS can confirm that either the mysql daemon or the PHP4 mysql module or IIS seem to have a problem with this combination. I installed the latest PHP4 binary distribution on a clean IIS 5.0 (win2k) server. I added the shareware mysql binaries available from mysql.com (that's the evaluation version). I added phpMyAdmin, latest version. mysql is running as a service. I have done very few tests, but so far using PHP4 with some basic non-db related commands including phpinfo() (after commenting out the empty include_path line) works fine. mysql and it's helper programs seem to work from the command line as well. However, using phpMyAdmin just creates problems. About each second request creates a 500 error and a "Access violation" message as the returned page. I don't know which program issues this explanation, the IIS log just contains the 500. In most cases it's possible to get a page displayed by refreshing it several times. This won't work for some specific pages in phpMyAdmin. Interestingly, if I do a complete restart of IIS pages which consistently refused to work will now work, one after |restart| after the other ... After I changed the phpMyAdmin login to "Advanced" I get this Access violation thing right away when trying to login (I think I got the login screen once and never thereafter) and now not even a complete restart will help. I have installed phpMyAdmin numerous times, so this can't be a problem with wrong installation. I know that phpMyAdmin has some minor bugs but nevertheless basically it seems a good tool of checking out PHP4+mySQL performance (not in the sense of speed) and reliability on IIS to me. I haven't yet tested phpMyAdmin with PHP4 on a Unix platform or on IIS4. If there isn't a general, major incompatibility between PHP4 and phpMyAdmin it looks like there is a major problem with the PHP4/mysql/IIS5 combination.
