Install Binary or Module for IIS?

Post by rxsid »

Hi all,

I want to install PHP on a windows NT 4 box running IIS4 web server.

What PHP intallation type is best for this? Binary, or with the ISAPI module? Pro's, Con's?

Thanks!!

From my experience I would tell you to stay with the cgi version.

Use the installer if you are not sure of the complete settings. I would also download the complete install, it contains a lot of additional files that you will probably want to install.

The ISAPI is suppose to be faster but not really noticeable and seems to work fine during testing but for myself and others with actual load on the server it seems to crash more frequently.
