Thanks for the guide! Even though the command line tools didn’t work for me on XP SP3 I was able to get it setup using MMC in the end.

if you do this can you still run asp at the same time?

I tried to follow these (and similar instructions) but i always get stuck at the mentioning of php5isapi.dll because i don’t have this one on my Disc.
i want to install PHP 5.3.2-nts in IIS6.0, windows 2003.

any ideas?

Just to follow up on my previous post,

I have managed to get phpinfo to display as it should, the reason it wasnt displaying properly was because I was using an improperly formated tag. I was using
and not . The first was incorrect.

When I view my test page this is what is displayed:

Configuration File (php.ini) Path C:\WINDOWS
Loaded Configuration File C:\PHP\php.ini

I suspect the reason my pre-packed script wont run is because its not finding the right configuration file. I have no idea really. Just guessing

Hi Paul,

Firt of all, GREAT post. The best I have seen regarding installing and configuring PHP for IIS.

I have installed PHP and everything is working ALMOST perfectly. Here is my problem.

I have a script that I have been trying to run on my W2K3 server which uses php. The very first page of that script that allows me to login in and make some configuration changes has always returned a blank page. (When it calls php includes it stops and returns empty body tags)

Now my php info page shows my configuration file path is C:\Windows. If I add the system variable PHPRC and set it to C:\PHP, this allows me to see my scripts login page, but then my php info test (test.php) returns a blank page.

Something’s not quite right here. I want to go on to install MYSQL and MyPHPAdmin, but dont want to add more varibles to my problem. I would like to get the PHP install sorted out and working properly first.

So why do you think that without adding the PHPRC system variable, test.php displays ok (with the config path pointing to c:\windows) but other scripts dont run and just return a blank page; but adding the variable allows other scripts to run (partially) but the test.php returns a blank page.

I am using W2K3 with IIS 6.0 and shared IP addresses with host headers. I have no problem accessing the different sites. No MySQL or PHPMyAdmin have been installed yet.

Once again, thank you for the great posts!

Hello for work reasons I need to migrate from Apache to IIS 6 on win2003 and from Mysql to Oracle 9, well the last I did without problems and the first thing is what is giving me a headache, and your tutorial and made that the PHP pages was recognized by IIS, but on seeing the extensions that have activities in the phpinfo, not appears the OCI8 extension that I use to connect and Oracle, I modified the php.ini but is not displayed, I enable another extension like Mysql but neither case appears.

Please, if someone pass from something similar, give me a hand to solve this, in my work are trying to kill me: S
