PHP 5.1.6 installation with IIS

[damiro]

im new in PHP and i cant install the "php-5.1.6-Win32" from the download zone of PHP.net. is there anyone here knows how will i install this properly? My server is using Windows NT 2000 with IIS. i created an phpinfo() file to test if the installation of php is working.

the error prompted as:

HTTP 403.1 Forbidden: Execute Access Forbidden
Internet Information Services

You have attempted to execute a CGI, ISAPI, or other executable program from a directory that does not allow programs to be executed.

anyone here know what seem to be the problem? i followed the instructions in http://www.hostlibrary.com/Building-a-PHP-...b-hosting-.html

its my third week already installing this thing  ???... thanks for your reply..

I couldn't get it work under IIS either... but I did at least get pass that problem.

What you need to do is go into IIS and change the Permission on the Home Directory tab.

Do a right over your site... go down to properties and then to the Home Dir tab.....

Hope this helps.

I have php 5.1.2 on IIS installed (as ISAPI not with the installer) and it works fine.  I didn't have any problems with the install, I followed the Manual Installation steps from the php docs, but I did have to give some execute permissions to the IIS user account in c:\php, and for whatever reason the active php.ini file is in c:\windows rather than c:\php

These two sites are what got me through installing on IIS.
