Newbye - help on installing PHP 5 on winxp/2003

am 23.09.2007 22:43:21 von BZ

Hi,
I'm new to php, actually I used it fewtimes back in 2000, (v 4 at that
time), but no longer since then
I need to install it now on a WinXP or 2003 server on IIS, but I have
troubles.
I downloaded the MSI installer (version 5.2.4), run, it reported that
installed ok, I created a virtual dir in IIS and added a php file
there

This is my first PHP code

$myvar = "Hello world

";
echo $myvar;
phpinfo();
?>

When I try to browse it, I get the HTTP error 500 (programming error
or website is in maintennace)
I checked the setting in IIS -> properties -> Home directory tab ->
Configuration button -> mappings tab, and I have the PHP extension
registered as any other extension there (it points to php5isapi.dll).
Also, initially it was set for all verbs, and I changed for
GET,HEAD,POST,DEBUG, but no result

I encounter this on both WinXP and Win2003.

Can anyone help me to get started with this and configure IIS to
process PHP files?
Thanks you

If you're on windows why not use something like XAMPP?

I can install xampp on my develop machine
But I have an internet server (Win2003) I use for various stuff (ftp
server, mail server, remote access, etc) and it runs IIS.
And I would want to have it run PHP, so if I make a demo in PHP to be
publicily available, to be able to send someone the direct link,
without a different port (like http://myserver.com/demo_php, instead
of http://myserver.com:8080/demo_php, like when I have to install
apache to run simultaneously with IIS)
The reason I use IIS is I develop mostly in ASP.NET.

So, any suggestion to make PHP 5.2.4 to work on my IIS?

Thanks

I'm still at 5.2.1, but it installs and works fine. I rather suspect something
in your installation than in 5.2.4. If there were such a basic problem with
5.2.4, I would think a lot of people would have noticed it already.
