Installing PHP on Windows 2003 server

[pab_gm]

Hello,

 

Im in need of some good advice!

 

I have recently installed an onsite exchange server for a customer of mine and got a web page designed with some forms which are php based, the guy who designed the page assumed that the site would be hosted on a linux server so this is why he used PHP.

 

I installed PHP using the installer and it wouldn't work, and i then i tried installing PHP the manual way, but i have had no luck and still get the same error The specified CGI application exceeded the allowed time for processing. The server has deleted the process

 

So if anyone has any advice i would greatly appreciate it.

 

Cheers.

The instructions here are pretty good,

With IIS there are a few extra little things you need to do, even with the installer.

 

Remove all the PHP installations you have done and try to clean up any remnant parts before you carry out the above.

 

The message that your reporting though seems to suggest the script is causing a timeout so you could increase this in the php.ini to see if it is the script (although with IIS there is a fixed time limit that cannot be changed for server response).
