Re: 64-bit PHP binaries

Thanks Pierre. I am going to redo it in the morning. Just a quick one if I may. There is a hotfix from microsoft and some admin tools that is suggested should be installed. When I try to install it it says I have the incorrect software version or operating system. have you come across this on your travels with php installs on win2k8?

Thanks, it is all getting a lot clearer now. However, there is still one more problem. Initially when i deployed PHP on this server I used the 5.3 nts version but could not get it working. If i ran the cammand line i could see it was working but it would not deliver the pages via a webbrowser. As per my earlier post i get a dot net error. This brought me to the point where i started thinking this is a 64bit issue. I also stated earlier that i think there is a setting that is not configured and that is not on the documentation and that is why it is not working. I however have been unable to figure out where the problem is. There is a lot of mention of running a command on IIS to get it to run as a 32bit version. Is this true?

I run x86 php on my IIS x64 windows just fine (2k3/2k8/2k8R2). There was some extra setting before with the ISAPI, but it is not required anymore as it runs through FastCGI (different process than IIS itself). See: http://www.php.net/manual/en/install.windows.iis7.php for a detailed explanation about the FastCGI setup. Cheers, -- Pierre @pierrejoye | http://blog.thepimp.net | http://www.libgd.org
