ID: 23907 Comment by: pop-eye at mail dot com Reported By: bryn at mrpath dot com Status: Open Bug Type: Documentation problem Operating System: Windows Server 2003 PHP Version: 4.3.2 New Comment: This is a great tip. I am a new PHP user and I had this problem for a week and no one, even the grate *nix lovers of "The PHP Forums Home" could not identify. Thanks Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-05-30 14:16:09] bryn at mrpath dot com I added more description to the bug title ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-05-30 14:15:12] bryn at mrpath dot com In order to get php working on IIS 6/Windows Server 2003, there's an extra step needed in installation. You have to "allow" the php service extension. One way to do this is to go to the new manage your server icon, select manage application server, and choose the web service extensions folder in the MMC tree under IIS manager. Then choose the "add a new web service extension" put php in the extension, c:\php\php.exe in the file name, and check the allow box. The windows installer doesn't do this, and the windows install.txt readme in the zip doesn't mention this needs to be done. When this is not done, IIS reports error 404, file not found. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=23907&edit=1
