#29275 [Com]: IIS 5.1 needs special attention in the IIS docs

ID: 29275 Comment by: joel at preacherboy dot net Reported By: steve at ootac dot com Status: Open Bug Type: Documentation problem Operating System: windows PHP Version: 5.0.0 New Comment: Thanks for providing a link to that bug. It was exactly what I needed to get IIS 5.1 and PHP 5 to work in CGI mode. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-09-01 00:44:21] philip@php.net The IIS Documentation is outdated/wrong/bad, this is known, but this is already in a bug report here: http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=23907 As far as php5isapi.dll, that's now in the the docs. Regarding that IIS 5.1 bug, that will be integrated when the IIS docs are updated (and the user notes are integrated) so will leave this bug open until that happens. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-09-01 00:04:26] joel at preacherboy dot net I've been able to get php5isapi.dll to work on IIS 5.1 following the official instructions. If you want I can go log the process on another development system I've been meaning to configure. I had to use ISAPI by choice. I'd much rather use php-cgi.exe, but I could never get it to work using the official instructions. Instead I have ISAPI leaving open handles on every file used until I kill dllhost.exe or restart the system (resulting in a crash of dllhost.exe). ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-07-21 13:09:05] steve at ootac dot com The Add mapping dialogue puts the path in quotes; remove the quotes and the OK button is enabled. still cannot get it to work even after following all the FAQ advice! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-07-20 11:36:06] steve at ootac dot com Description: ------------ I have found a bug on page install.iis.html [chm date: 2003-09-06]... Installation/servers-IIS/PWS/WINDOWS NT/2000/XP and IIS 4 or newer IIS 5.1 on Win XP Help file says: To use the ISAPI module, do the following: Under 'Home Directory', click on the 'Configuration' button. Add a new entry to the Application Mappings. Use the path to the php4isapi.dll as the Executable, supply .php as the extension, leave Method exclusions blank, and check the Script engine checkbox. 1. File needs to be php5isapi.dll 2. Doing as above (using php5isapi.dll) will not enable the OK button in the dialogue. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=29275&edit=1
