Re: Server not seeing PHP (Win32)

I have not tried to get this to run on a 98 system. but I found that the install.txt file was not that helpful and I found more information about the install here. http://www.php.net/manual/en/faq.installation.php I am doing the same thing as you I develop off line on a XP machine running IIS and the server is Apache and Linux. I had a difficult time trying to get the PHP4 installed and found some answers here that were not in the install.txt file. When I was getting my server 500 errors there were two things wrong. 1. I was not pointing to the correct directory of installation in the php.ini file. - try going to a dos prompt and go to the directory that you installed PHP to then type this php.exe -I if you get a whole bunch of html codes, then PHP is installed correctly... 2. I did not have a aspi filter set in the IIS menu. I followed the instructions on the link above it worked great... Please let me know if there is anything else that I can help you with...
