Windows IIS Question!

Hello,

I am having trouble getting PHP to work with IIS. Every time I get it
installed and then go to change some configuration so it will work with
PHPMYADMIN, it stops working. The test file that I created to show the
phpinfo(); now just displays a blank page. My questions!

1. When installing the newest version of PHP do I select IIS ISAPI or CGI
2. If I use CGI what files do I need to point IIS to.
3. Is anyone using phpmyadmin successfully with IIS. I love this tool
and would like to keep using it.

If anyone can be of assistance the would greatly appreciated. I am
trying to get PHP to work so I can deploy a web app. Thanks for your help!

Re: Windows IIS Question!

Hey Matthew,
Did you try this link
http://www.php.net/manual/en/install.windows.manual.php.
This will tell you everything you should know about the IIS setup. And look
through the readers contributions at the end this is where the specific help
is for your problem.

1) When you open up IIS and go to home directory(all explained in the above
link) you will choose cgi.exe as the .php extension. Isapi is the php
filter.
2) CLI is the PHP Command Line Interface. If you want the Graphical
Interface use CGI.
3) I used to use phpmyadmin but I removed it in favor of MySQL
Administrator, in my estimation much simpler, quicker to learn and by far
easier all the way around. These last opinions are totally my own. I know
many, many people stand by their phpmyadmin.
I do know this... for a beginner it may be quite frustrating to set up
phpmyadmin the first time. It is also not easy to remove either.
It is very, very important to read what is in the above link. Their are
several places where, it is critical you have the correct information
referencing the right folder, file, etc.
Like in the Windows path environment, the PHPRC, your PHP.ini, your DOC
path, your EXT path, etc.
All these areas are very important and when you have a problem you should
check these things to make sure they have not changed. And then there are
permissions, you must have IUSR_machinename listed with execute permissions,
the folders with PHP and MySQL and PHPMYADMIN must have permissions opened
up for IUSR, etc.
Find all these things and make them right. You will be sailing along. This
really is very simple if you read the above link and do a little Googling.
You want something frustrating really compelling and frustrating?
Try setting up a brand new Linux OS for the first time and get your wireless
card working. This is where on the mailing lists you see many people using
extreme emotion like "Suicide is an option", "Nuclear Meltdown", "This has
been the worst day in my life." I've seen this and more with just trying to
set up a wireless NIC to access the WEB.
You are in a one dimensional problem. Just look at the documentation and it
will all come to you.

I hope I have shed a little light,
Chetanji

Re: Windows IIS Question!

Hey Matthew, I wanted to mention...

When you run the PHP set up you choose the CGI or CLI. So the files are
already set up for it.

In the IIS set up like in the last post the Isapi.dll goes in the filter tab
and cgi.exe goes into the home directory IIS websites as the php extension.

Every time you add or change the config for IIS you must stop and restart
it just like Apache.
With the PHPRC add it with two back slashes C:\\PHP (if this is where your
php folder is)

Do you have the MySQl ODBC Connecter set up? This helps alot, if you don't
already have it.

There is a lot of help on the web for configuring phpmyadmin if not on their
site.

Phpmyadmin really is about the relationship to MySQL and its Front end.
This IIS config should be a seperate issue. Look at this problem of yours
like this and attack it from two directions.
I really am trying to help you. You have to do some searching and debuging
on your own. That's what makes this whole Apache (or IIS) MySQL and PHP
relationship so much fun.
These "problems" are powerful learning experiences that put you more in
touch with your computing environment.

Blessings,
Chetanji

RE: Windows IIS Question!

Hi!

My tip is to don't use PHPMyAdmin to start with. Try something like mysql c=
ontrol center (google for it, don't remember the url)
In IIS you have to create a site and create a DNS for the same site.. That =
is the basics. Other people have sent links to setting up IIS.

Best regards
