    Running PHP On IIS 5.1

    Hi,

    I've gotten to the point where I am more frustrated then anything and
    just want to see this thing work. Although now I am thinking,
    downloading and installing APACHE might be a 1,000,000 times faster.

    Has anyone gotten PHP5.2.5 running on WinXP with IIS 5.1?

    I have gone through the installer, gone through countless other
    suggestions (ISAPI filter, running as a CGI).

    And nothing seems to work. I finish doing the install (and
    configuring and rebooting) and my php pages can run the phpinfo();
    command, but anything else does not work.

    When the pages do not work I get the "No input file specified" There
    also seems to be some issues where the root directory will display
    phpinfo(); correctly but any files under sub-directories will not.

    I am not seeing any errors in my event logs... is there a PHP event
    log somewhere?

    Any suggestions would be great... it just seems like a lot of work do
    after I have run an "installer" .

      The best piece of advice you will EVER receive about running PHP with
      IIS is... Don't bother!

      You are right, using apache will be a million times better. More
      manageable/configurable/compatible/robust/stable etc etc

          Nonsense. PHP works fine under IIS. I have it on several VPS's.

              Greg,

              I never bother with the installer. I download the .zip files and
              install manually. It's not hard once you have done it a couple of times
              and only takes a couple of minutes.

              Sorry, I don't remember what the original site I found the instructions
              on, but if you google for iis and php, you'll find several good sets of
              instructions.

              BTW - I prefer the isapi install.

                  I got 64-bit php installed and working on W2K3 64-bit version a few
                  months ago. If I can make that work, you can definitely get it up and
                  running on XP.

                  I used the following guide:
                  <http://www.peterguy.co m/php/install_IIS6.ht ml>. It's for W2K3 w/ IIS
                  6, but the process should be basically the same.

                  As Jerry said, use the .zip file, not the installer.

                      ....until you have to use 'popen' or 'proc_open'.
