I got sick of changing reg entries on my Windows box's and PWS lack of virtual hosts i changed to using Apache, ive used this for development for some time and it works a treat. I havent used apache in any sort of Windows production environment but for that id change to NT and IIS. mn -----Original Message----- From: Tim Diggins [mailto:subscribed@red56.co.uk] Sent: Tuesday, August 15, 2000 11:24 PM To: php-windows@lists.php.net Subject: RE: [PHP-WIN] Installing PHP part 2 Matthew - It might be easier to help you if you post more specific details: Can you verify: 1) that your php.exe is at c:\php3\php.exe 2) that your php_iis_reg.inf file had refs to this location (including the double %s in the first three examples, don't know what it does, but I know you have to have it) 3) then verify within regedit (but don't adjust anything!) that this is the case - check all the locations suggested... I'm pretty sure the problem will be in one of your keys. 4) post relevant pieces of your php3.ini file as below: Although I'm a PHP newbie, given that my PHP3 installation worked fine... here's some tidbits from my installation Registry Entries ================ Here's the detail from my php_iis_reg.inf file that I right clicked on and "install"ed (I presume you did this): ... HKLM,"System\CurrentControlSet\Services\W3Svc\Parameters\Script Map",".php3",0,"c:\php3\php.exe %s %s" HKLM,"System\CurrentControlSet\Services\W3Svc\Parameters\Script Map",".phtm3",0,"c:\php3\php.exe %s %s" HKLM,"System\CurrentControlSet\Services\W3Svc\Parameters\Script Map",".php",0,"c:\php3\php.exe %s %s" ... HKCR,"phpfile\Shell\open\command","",0,"c:\php3\php.exe %1" ... With my php3 files all within c:\php3 this hasn't caused a problem. PHP3.ini file ============== I notice that I put my php3.ini* file in my windows directory (only), and that I adjusted the areas in the " Paths and Directories " to point to real world locations (yours will definitely vary) as follows: .................... ;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;; ; Paths and Directories ; ;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;; include_path = ; UNIX: "/path1:/path2" Windows: "\path1;\path2" doc_root = "C:\PERSONAL\TheLaboratory\wwwroot" ; the root of the php pages, used only if nonempty user_dir = ; the directory under which php opens the script using /~username, used only if nonempty ;upload_tmp_dir = "C:\PERSONAL\TheLaboratory\wwwphp3\uploaded" ; temporary directory for HTTP uploaded files (will use system default if not specified) upload_max_filesize = 2097152 ; 2 Meg default limit on file uploads extension_dir = "C:\PHP3" ; directory in which the loadable extensions (modules) reside .................... * copied from the php3.ini-dist file from the distribution.
