Maybe this has all changed but the points made in this report are mostly old/bogus now. php.exe exists in the main folder. There is a cli/php.exe as well but that's for CLI and I updated the docs to mention this. Neither are in a sapi folder. There isn't a folder named 'experimental', they are all still in the extensions directory. php_gd.dll still exists in the distro, I added php_gd2.dll to the list at install.windows.php All the points in this report have been analyzed/closed. Am closing this report. http://cvs.php.net/cvs.php/phpdoc/en/chapters/install.windows.xml Btw the link does exist, it's a . not a _. http://www.php.net/manual/en/install.windows.php Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-10-07 12:43:53] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Apparently the document was removed .. its also linked on: http://qa.php.net/links.php .. and just gets a broken link. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-04-25 10:45:32] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Changed status. -Tal ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-04-25 10:26:55] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Assigning to James, he said he will rewrite the windows installation instructions. -Tal ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-04-24 14:03:40] [EMAIL PROTECTED] We have just released this new version, and had no time to update the docs for Windows. Sorry for the inconvinience. Can someone get on this job? Goba ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-04-24 07:42:52] [EMAIL PROTECTED] I tried to install the new PHP 4.2 on my Windows 2000 server and found several things in the installation manual that where out of date. The manual I refer to in this report is the following: http://www.php.net/manual/en/install-windows.php When I use the zip file (not the installer) downloaded from php.net I run into these problems: - The manual does not say anything about where to get the "php.exe" file. The only "php.exe" file in the zip package is located in the "sapi" directory, and I do therefore not believe that it is this one I should use. - There is a new directory called "experimental". It seems to hold all the experimental extensions (in prev. versions I believe that they where located in the "extensions" directory like all the others). This should also be in the manual (i.e. tell the user to copy the experimental extensions wanted to the "extensions" directory or set the extension path to point to this directory also). - "extensions/php_gd.dll" does no longer exist. I guess it's now called "extensions/php_gd2.dll". Both the php.ini file and the documentation lacks this information. I don't know if there are anything more then this, but it seems like this manual is from one of the PHP 4.0.? versions. /watson ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=16790&edit=1 -- PHP Documentation Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
