Note regarding PHP4 Installation on IIS5 + Win2K Tip: Don't install PHP4 on Directories with spaces in between. I've had problems Installing PHP 4.0.0 on IIS5, Win2k's default web server, spanish version (I live in Colombia). I've had HTTP 500 Errors and I followed all instructions step by step, but nothing seemed to work. I solved the problem eventually, and I think it had something to do with the fact that I have installed PHP4 manually and placed it in the directory "C:\Archivos de programa\php-4.4.0-Win32" ('Archivos de programa' stands for 'Program Files'), a directory with spaces in between. When I added the application mappings for "C:\Archivos de programa\php-4.4.0-Win32/sapi/php4isapi.php", An error would ocurr and a message along with it: "Escriba una ruta de acceso valida", as in "Write a valid access rute", as in "I can't find the file". I thought i had it when I encapsulated it with Doublequotes ("), but that didn't work either. As a final long shot, I copied the php4isapi.dll to the windows/system32 directory and 'WALA!' It worked. I'm not sure, but i suspect that it had to do with spaces in between directory names, so avoid those, or copy the isapi module to another directory. Hope this helps someone! ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/install.windows.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+56316 Delete: added to the manual -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+56316&report=yes&reason=added+to+the+manual Delete: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+56316&report=yes&reason=bad+code Delete: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+56316&report=yes&reason=spam Delete: useless -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+56316&report=yes&reason=useless Delete: non-english -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+56316&report=yes&reason=non-english Delete: other reasons -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+56316&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+56316&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
