Aristotle Posted September 13, 2008 Share Posted September 13, 2008 Hi guys, I'm new at using PHP and I have some questions: 1. Do I need apache to run PHP? 2. When I tried to run one of the php files, It tells me that a bunch of .dll files are missing (is that part of the app I'm using, or php?) and when I install PHP, it tells me that it can't access the httpd.conf file, and I'm using the Microsoft XP default version of IIS, and I don't know what server type to choose when PHP asks for it.

RichardRotterdam Posted September 13, 2008 Share Posted September 13, 2008 you don't need apache to run PHP it can also run on IIS. the problem probably is as you allready have noticed yourself . it is when you install PHP you should select the right server type. it has multiple IIS options i think not sure.

chronister Posted September 13, 2008 Share Posted September 13, 2008 It is a challenging process to get PHP working with IIS. If you have the ability to, and this is a testing server type deal, just download XAMPP or WAMP. This is an all in one package and is very easy to deploy.
