Re: windows 2000 install

There are two stages here. Getting PHP installed and working and getting IIS configured. To tackle the first should be easy. If php.exe and phpts.dll are in the same directory as each other (say C:\php) and php.ini is in the WINNT folder AND you haven't done anything silly in php.ini, then PHP should work. Test by opening a command window, changing directory to C:\php and typing php.exe -i. A screenful of html tells you php is working. Alternatively, an error message might tell you what's wrong. If that works, run the Internet service manager and check that for the web site you are playing with, the .php file extension is mapped onto the php.exe. Run a .php file containing just <?php phpinfo();?> from your web browser on localhost. If that works, great. If not, tell us exactly what happens.
