I don't know of an actual manual, but I find that the instructions included with the Windows binary are quite easy to follow.
First, you need to ensure that you have a WEB server running (with Win2000 that would typically be IIS 5.0). Try opening your browser and enter http://localhost/ as the URL. If a WEB server is installed on your PC you should see a page in your browser. If you do not get a page a WEB server is not running on your PC, and you need to address this problem first. On Win2000 i believe you can install the IIS web server by going into "add/remove programs -> windows setup" or something similar (I don't have a Win2000 system at hand). Once you have a WEB server running, download the windows binary of PHP 4.0.6. If you download the .exe version the installer should take care of pretty much everything for you, whereas if you download the .zip version you will have to do things manually - but instructions on how to do it are included in the zip. I myself have always used the .zip version, so I can't say for sure how well the .exe version works. Once you have it all installed, a good way to test if PHP is working is to make a script with the following code: <?php phpinfo(); ?> Place this in a file called phpinfo.php (or whatever you prefer) and place it in your WEB root (with IIS it is typically c:\inetpub\wwwroot\). Then call it up in your browser like this: http://localhost/phpinfo.php If everything is working you will get a neatly formatted page displaying info about your PHP installation. Hope this helps :-) /Christian -----Original Message----- From: reinhold [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 2. december 2001 08:32 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [PHP-WIN] installation php4.0.6 on IIS 5.0 with Win 2000 Server where can I get a proper manual how to setup php on win2000.
