Does anyone know if php can be installed on Windows Server 2003? I seem to be having a lot of trouble with it.

I am currently using Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition & PHP/MySQL are working fine.
Don't download the PHP installation ex from php.net (though it may work). Instead download the zip file and configure IIS on your own.
I too had difficulty configuring with the new iis. But there is excellent tutorial on how to do this :
http://www.benmardesign.com/IIS_PHP_MYS ... setup.html
About MySQL - it'll do all the work on its own even when you just unzip to a folder and then click winmysqladmin.exe. But the windows server requires tcp/ip for it work. In other Windows it is installed for the localsystem but for the server versions you'll have to manually install.
I hope this was useful.
