I have try to insatll PHP 4.3.9 and 5.0.2 on Win2K3 Std Server with IIS6 but not work!

Does any step that I have missing?


1.) Extract the PHP zip package to D:\Apps\PHP
2.) For PHP 4 move the D:\Apps\PHP\DLLS\*.* files to D:\Apps\PHP
3.) Add the D:\Apps\PHP to environment path
4.) Add MIBS=ALL, MIBSDIR=D:\Apps\PHP\mibs (for PHP4) MIBSDIR=D:\Apps\PHP\extras\mibs (For PHP5)
5.) Rename the PHP.in-dist to php.ini
PHP 4 add the following lines.
extension_dir = D:\Apps\PHP\extensions
extension=php_snmp.dll
extension=php_sockets.dll
PHP 5 add the following lines.
extension_dir = D:\Apps\PHP\ext
extension=php_mysql.dll
extension=php_snmp.dll
extension=php_sockets.dll

After I have add the ISAPI Filters. The normal web page"default.htm" also can't work!

Any Suggestion?

Thanks a lot!

Hey,

I have jsut finished updating my server from 2000 to 2003. Here is a BIg difference between the 2. On Server 2000, I kept my php.ini file in my d:\php directory and it picked it up without a problem. I get my new box in with Server 2003 installed, copy my files back and Cacti will not run. I keep getting errors that look like the permissions problems with mySQL. I run the helloworld.php test and it runs without any problems so I know that php is running. But then I do a php file that one has this in it:
<?php phpinfo(); ?>

I find out that it is trying to read the ini file from c:\windows. I do a little research and find that it a add a key to the registry inder local_machine I can force it to d:\php. That fixed the problem and cacti is running again.
key under local_machine\software
php
string value under php
InifilePath
value
D:\php

I hope this helps someone else who might be running into upgrade problems.


Regards,

Willie
