Tips for Installing php4 on Win2k Server with IIS5 It took a bit of time to get php setup and working this is how i set it up. 1 Download the php4.x windows version zip file, unzip all the files to a new directory called c:/php 2 setup access rights for the Isuer account on the c:/php directory (IIS needs this to run php.exe) 3 copy the .dll files from the php/dll folder to winnt/system32 4 rename the "php.ini-dist" file in c:/php to be "php.ini" note - this is a development config only - dont use on a public web site ! 5 open php/ini with notepad and goto the "paths & directory" section, change the line "; cgi.force_redirect = 1" to "cgi.force_redirect = 0" note- do not insert the " marks - these are for reference. 6 save the "php.ini" file to c:/winnt , this is the default path that php.exe is setup to look for it. 7 setup access rights for the Isuer account on the php.ini file (only that file not the entire winnt directory !) 8 goto Administrive tools - Internet Services Manger - select your site and right click - properties - Home Directory tab - and click configuration add a new extension called "php" then add the executable path i.e. c:/php/php.exe 9 goto Administrive tools - Internet Services Manger - select your site and right click - all tasks - permissions wizzard - and set wizzard to allow script running on your site. 10 add a test script to your site with a .php extension and run it to test.
