I am having trouble installing Drupal 8 on IIS7. I have installed the following:

* Windows 2008 Server R2
* Internet Information Server IIS 7.5
* SQL Server 2008
* Microsoft Drivers for PHP for SQL Server 3.2
* php-5.6.21-nts-Win32-VC11-x86
* php_pdo_sql_srv_56_nts.dll
* sqlsrv-8.x-1.x-dev
* wincachedrupal-7.x-1.10
* php_couchbase-2.1.0.5.6-zts-vc11-x64

I cannot get through the initial install, as I cannot connect to my MSSQL server, which is installed locally. I does not give me any error beyond the generic "Failed to connect to your database server."
