PHP Installation

Post by S_henry »

Hi guys, i'm not sure if this is the right place to ask this question. I have problem to install php on my laptop. I'm using windows xp and iis 5.1. before this i have installed php version 4 and it was fine. But when I want to upgrade to php version 5.2, my php page doesn't work anymore. I always get this error message "The website cannot display the page." and "HTTP 500". Can anybody help me please?
Thanx.

Installing PHP on an IIS server can be a pain in the butt. If you're just running this off of your laptop for development/testing purposes, then I highly recommend you ditch the manual installation, and just download WAMP. It's a simple installer with Apache, PHP, and MySQL all bundled up and easy to use. Just fire it up and start coding.

You are absolutely right. I have installed PHP with Apache by using zip package and everything is working fine. Thanks :)
