Omega003 Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 Hello there, I'm new to PHP and this forum, so I apologize in advance if my question is a bit silly. I installed IIS and PHP on my computer that runs on Vista. When I tried to configure it in the IIS manager I got an error message and I don't know how to solve that problem. What I've done is: In Handler Mapping I added a new script map, request path: *.php, executable: c:\php\php5isapi.dll name: php click ok, i allow the isapi extension (yes) and then an error message comes up, saying: "The specified module required by this handler is not in the modules list. If you are adding a script map handler mapping, the IsapiModule or the CgiModule must be in the modules list." Could you please help me with this how I could edit the modules list, where it is, etc? Many thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Omega003 Posted July 11, 2009 Author Share Posted July 11, 2009 Is there any reason you want to use IIS instead of Apache? The only reason is that I have SkyPlayer on this pc that uses port 80 and Apache would use the same port. That's why I thought I would give IIS a go. And also the tutorial that I was watching on PHP installed IIS. Do you think Apache is a better option? I guess I could disable SkyPlayer when I want to use Apache...

Mchl Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 You could tell Apache to use different port as well. It's not difficult. And Apache seems to be a better choice for PHP. Try downloading and installing WampServer. It has Apache, PHP and MySQL bundled together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's running on port 80 - according to the WampServer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
