If anyone on the doc team has access to a Windows .NET server, could they have a look at this: http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showthread.php?threadid=63223 and the notes below which I was kindly sent sent by a user called Nick Hale.
We need to update the installation instructions for Windows. I don't have regular access to a Windows box, let alone a .NET server in order to verify the steps below. If anyone does have a .net serve, let me know as I should be able to modify the windows installer version of PHP to do this new stuff automatically, so the instructions would only need to apply to the zip and source distributions. Cheers ************************ [[DOCUMENT]] ISSUE: Installing PHP 4.X on Windows .NET Server Family (IIS 6.0) SYMPTOMS: Under IIS6.0 (.NET Server Family) the default installer of PHP will not automatically configure the php executable to run and you will therefore run into problems. Normally, just going in and setting it up as an ISAPI extension would fix the problem, but with .NET Server Family, this is not the case. There are some additional steps that you must take to ensure that PHP will function properly under IIS6. These steps are listed below: 1. Download the latest PHP Windows Binaries from http://www.php.net 2. Run the installer and select the option to manually configure your server. Select the installation path of your choice (default: c:\php\) 3. Once the setup is done, go into your IIS Server Manager and drop down to the website that you wish to install PHP for. Set it up as you would under a IIS5 server (Application Configuration, ISAPI Mappings) and setup the php.exe to run the .php files. (You can do the same for .phps if you wish.) 4. The next step in getting this to work would to go the "Web Service Extensions" under the IIS Services Manager. Once you have this open, select "Add a new Web Service extension..." and set the extension name to ".php". Select the "Add" button and navigate to the spot that you installed PHP. Select the php.exe and hit "Ok". Select the checkbox at the bottom that says "Set extension status to Allowed" and hit Ok. CONCLUSION: That is all that is needed to get PHP to function properly. If you do not add it to the "Web Service Extensions" it will return a 404 error on all the .php pages that you have. You only have to do step 3 one time on each physical server, but step 2 for each site that you want to use php on IIS6. Document created by Nick Hale [EMAIL PROTECTED] for the PHP Group.
