Oddly enough on the first build of this box 6 months or so ago, PHP installed perfectly onto the C: drive. I rebuilt the network, but saved the C drive for later data retrieval and formatting, so another drive was placed into the system and rebuilt under the E: drive.
This installation of PHP has been a complete failure. Win2k has been updated ONLY with all service packs from Microsoft. So its a CLEAN OS. The server is the PDC running active directory and IIS. My initial problems were similar to others on here, the php include files would repeat over and over, and I would get an application error of memory could not be read as defined in the current open issue that is still waiting feedback for three days. Your recommendation was to install the newer snapshot, and I did. If I may say the installation instructions are a tad ''confusing'' but I will define the steps I've followed upto now. Extracted all files to E:\PHP Copied php.ini-dist and renamed to php.ini modified extension_dir to extension_dir = e:\PHP Copied DLL's from the E:\PHP\DLLS to E:\WinNT\System32\ TURNED NO EXTENTIONS ON (Want basic running first) modified cgi.force_redirect to cgi.force_redirect = 0 In Internet Service Manager (ISM) made the following modifications to the master properties: Home > Configuration, added .php extension and utilized the e:\php\php.exe Set All Verbs Set Check for existence of file Set execute properties, as well as securities on the folder for the IUSR to have FULL control for the moment. Current Behavior: PHP seems to return NO ERRORS... I'm not even noticing the PHP.exe in the processes. In the source of the outputted page, it SEEMS as if PHP is parsing out everything between the Tags '<??>' but not processing any of the code. All pages show up with HTML but no php execution not even a echo of 'THIS WORKS'.
