problem with php 5 and MySQL?

[Geoff Cox]

Hello,

I have just tried to install and use MySQL v5.0.27 and php v5.2.1 on
my Windows XP Pro machine.

This is the second time I have tried and failed to get php v5.2.1 to
work with a local web site using IIS.

As soon as I try to run a php file I get "waiting for 127.0.0.1.." and
nothing happens.

I realise that php.ini has to be configured to work with MySQL and I
thought I had done this,

extension_dir = c:\php\ext
extension = php_mysql.dll

php.ini is in the c:\windows folder.

Any suggestions please?!

Cheers,

Geoff

Geoff,

It works fine here. Did you also add the correct isapi filter to your
IIS extension (and tell it to parse .php files)?

Jerry,

Not sure what you mean by isapi filter?

I did register php.exe as an application in IIS.

Ah, that's the difference. I use PHP as an ISAPI extension instead.

Not sure what it's called in XP, but look in the Properties box for your
IIS server. You probably have a tab with something like "ISAPI
Filters". It goes in there. The DLL is (path)/php5isapi.dll and your
APP mappings should point at the same DLL for the .php extension.
