Trouble with installing PhP5 on IIS6

Hey everyone I'm having a bear of a time getting php installed on IIS. I keep getting a HTTP 500 error everytime I try to view the php page that I put phpinfo() in to test my configuration of it on my windows 2003 server. When I remove the friendly error messages its telling me that its an "Invalid access to Memory Location". I followed the following instructions to install php http://www.wikihow.com/Installing-Php-5 ... p-and-2003 but its still a no go does anyone have any ideas?

Edit: I also read all the way through the installation manual and have looked all over the web and I still can't find anything related to this issue. I know this has worked through the ISAPI method of installing PhP on this server before it just won't work this time. Trying to set it up as CGI won't work either does anyone have any ideas?

So no one has any ideas as to what can cause this at all? I"m beginning to wonder how anyone gets PhP to work long enough to use it much less make it this popular.

IIS isn't a "standard" intallation for PHP. Most people here run Apache, because their host runs it, they prefer it, it's better than IIS, or a multitude of many other reasons.

as much as I would like to use apache that isnt what this company uses nor do I think they want to switch from IIS over to Apache. Thanks for the response but is there no one here who actually uses IIS and has PhP running on it on this whole forum?

I've been successfully using PHP5 with Windows Server 2003 Web Edition (IIS6) and MS SQL for over a year now. I'm sure I can help you get set up.

Regarding the error you're getting, have you checked to make sure that the application pool you're using with the site is set to use the local IUSER account? See if that helps...
