HI

Just upgraded to Vista Ultimate and have struggled over the past two days to
install PHP and get it running.

I've followed the esteemed Mr Ps instructions but got no where. According
to Google this seems to be a common problem.

Has anyone suceeeded in getting it to work or should I change over to
Apache? problem is my hoster uses IIS and a couple of my sites use asp

thanks

Ian

Can you tell us what steps you've followed, what has worked OK and what
didn't work along the way?

Hi

I'm getting a bit miffed

Just checked back on PHP for DW8 and it says I need to set permission for
execute scripts and map php to php5isapi.dll in iis. Do I have to do this in
iis7?

What I've done so far is listed below:



1. Turned off UAC


2. Went into control Panel------ programs and features---- windows
features------ highlighted IIS and selected OK

3. Waited several minutes -- closed up CP


4. Double clicked on the php executable

5. Selected c:\program files\php\

6. Selected webserver iiscgi

7. selected extensions GD2,Multibyte string, Mysql. mysqli and xsl

8. Selected Install

9.Waited for install to finish and exited.

10.Opened php.ini

11 changed ; - display_errors = Off to display_errors = On

12. changed ; - log_errors = On to

13. copy php.ini c:\windows

14 create folders c:\users\ian\AppData\local\Temp\PHP\upload and sessions

15. Reboot

16 type in http://localhost/test.html page displayed

17. type in http://loclhost/test.php ( contains <?php phpinfo(); ?> )

get the error:

HTTP Error 404.3 - Not Found
The page you are requesting cannot be served because of the extension
configuration.
If the page is a script, add a handler. If the file should be downloaded,
add a MIME map.

thanks

Hi

Dug a little deeper into IIS and found that I have no entry for PHP in the
script mappings section.

I tried putting in *.php and making the executable phpisapi.dll but that
file appears not to exist in php 5.2.6

the only DLL I have listed are php5ts.dll and libmysql.dll

thanks

If you installed PHP with the Windows installer, it copies only those
DLL files that it considers necessary, depending on the choices you made
during the installation process. It's a long time since I last attempted
to install PHP with IIS7, so I can't remember the details, but an easy
way to get phpisapi.dll is to download the zip version of PHP, and copy
it from there.
