note 77985 added to install.windows

Another tip that might save hours of aggravation (and cursing): I was setting the Mappings in the IIS 5.1 Manager by going to Default Web Site -> Properties -> Home Directory -> Configuration ->Mappings I noticed that the ".php" extension that previously I added was the only one shown in quotes, which had been added automatically due to the fact that my PHP files are installed in directory "D:\Program Files\PHP", which contains a blank space in its name. All the other entries had no quotes and when I tried to take the quotes out, IIS responded that the path was invalid. I assumed (correctly) that the quotes were causing problems. So I copied php5isapi.dll to C:\windows (which does not have a space in the directory name) and reentered the path without quotes in the Mappings screen, and then ... Finally, my browser was able to process and show my hello.php file correctly! Hope this helps someone. ---- Server IP: 209.41.74.194 Probable Submitter: 69.228.39.149 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/install.windows.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/77985 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/77985/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/77985/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/77985/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/77985/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/77985/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/77985/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/77985 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/77985 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
