Re: PHP installation with Windows 2000 Professional

Thank you for your advice. I have successfully installed IIS from the Windows 2000 disk and can run it successfully so that other PCs on our network can see my home page. However, because I have Professional rather than normal I do not get the Internet Services Manager even with IIS installed in my Administrative Tools folder. I only have these icons: Component Services, Computer Management, Data Sources, Event Viewer, Local Security Policy, Performance, Personal Web Manager, Server Extensions, Services, Telnet Server Administration. I have looked at some Microsoft stuff which says that ISM is a snap-in for the MMC but I do not know where to get the snap-in itself. Is there another way to access the properties? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Robert Trembath" <robert@ishoptech.com> To: "Benjamin Sims" <b.sims@unesco.org> Sent: Wednesday, August 08, 2001 3:20 PM Subject: Re: [PHP-WIN] PHP installation with Windows 2000 Professional > If your running Windows 2000, your running IIS 5.0 and it is not installed > by default.
