More information: Both installations work. The php test file, <?php phpinfo(); ?>, works on both the workstation running IIS and Win2K Pro and the server running WinNT. To get up and running quickly, I used the Windows installer version on the server (which I understand runs under CGI). However, I also understand this version is not secure and is not recommended for a production environment. So, I installed the full Windows binary on my workstation to test that version.
I learn best by testing and modifying existing programs so I downloaded two applications from the web: "The Perfect Job" from DevShed and AssetMan from bctree.com. Both applications work fine on the server running WinNT, IIS and the Windows installer version of PHP. However, when I copy the same folders and try to run the applications from my workstation using //localhost/assetman/login.php, I get a blank white page. When I try to run "The Perfect Job", I get an error message stating: "There was an error accessing the page you requested." I know I have database connectivity, because I'm running phpMyAdmin from my workstation. I've even tried running both .ini files supplied with the binary thinking there might be a problem with the isapi module. No luck. -----Original Message----- From: Christoph Grottolo [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, February 21, 2002 2:38 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [PHP-WIN] Re: Running Windows full binary distribution | I've installed the windows installer version of php on a NT server.

Check if php works by running the script from the command line: c:\php\php.exe c:\mywebroot\test.php. If you get a long output which looks like HTML php works. If not, something went wrong with your php installation. Read the corresponding chapter in the manual. 4. Call the test script from your browser (http://myhostname/test.php) If you get a page with info about your php installation, your webserver and PHP work together. If not, read the chapter about configuring PHP with your webserver software in the PHP manual. 5. The output of the test script should reflect your php.ini settings.
