Installing PHP 5.0.3 on a Windows 2003 Server with IIS

Post by irishmike2004 »

Greetings:

I am trying to help a friend install PHP 5.0.3 on his Windows 2003 server running IIS (4 I assume). We have ran the installer and did some registry work via the online manual and we are getting 404 errors on running any PHP page. Apparently PHP 4 worked before, but I can not confirm this. Anyhow, I am a MacOS X and UNIX guy and kind of at a loss here. Can someone offer any advice on what we might need to fix? Any help is appreciated. IF we could offer up a step by step install for this kind of system, I would be glad to forward this to him.

Thanks in advance.

Welcome to IIS 6 !
IIS6 is the only version of IIS that can compete with Apache though Apache is still far better.
Check out this : http://www.benmardesign.com/IIS_PHP_MYS ... setup.html
The authour of the site/page, Benjamin Mokay has done a wonderful job of explaining how to setup PHP 4.x / 5.x with IIS6 on Windows Server 2003. You cannot find a simpler solution than this.
