New PHP Installation

[dispatcher]

Hi all.

 

We're trying to learn PHP here at work and are using an existing fileserver to host via IIS and test our PHP scripts.

 

Server info:

Windows XP 64-bit

MySQL 4.1

PHP 5.2.1

 

We know IIS and MySQL are working because a co-worker has created some asp pages and is currently working on a dbase in MySQL. So that part works. Now we installed PHP and cannot get the script to execute.

 

Using our browser, we type "htt://www.testsite.xxx/" = we get the home page and navigate on the site normally.

 

We installed a PHP script just to say "hello" to test is: "htt://www.testsite.xxx/test.php" = a 404 error.  ???

 

A few pics to help, since they're worth a 1,000 words. :-)

 

 

Any ideas where we made a mistake?

 

Advanced thanks.

Did you enable extension mapping for php files? If not, from the web site properties window click on configuration(Home Directory Tab -> application settings) then click on add..

 

It should look something like this

 

 

Under executable make sure that it is a valid path to the php.exe. Also, there are several known issues with win32  and php 5.2.1, so I would recommend that you use 5.2.0 instead.

 

Hope that helps,

Tom

in windows 2003 you have to Allow php extension go to IIS -> web services extenstions

then add php extenstion and allow it
