PHP 5.0.1 Manual/Automatic Install

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi all,

 

Well it is now 12:08 past midnight and I have been at this since 7pm.

 

Basically my problem is this:

 

I currently have a Win2003 server, running IIS6 serviced packed up etc. I
have tried following the installation notes from PHPbuddy.net
(http://www.phpbuddy.com/category.php?cat_id=INST) and nearly started to
pull out my hair.

 

I originally had a number of problems were my pages weren't being displayed
due to not having permission to execute the script, not having enough
permissions set on the files within the PHP etc. I also had a cracker of an
error "No input file selected" which was a good one, but yet I managed to
get around that problem by giving out the correct permissions and editing
the php.ini (doc_root) and leaving this blank. But unfortunately for me I
came to another problem, one which I have not been able to sort out, my
pages are now displaying the actual PHP code!!

 

First I downloaded the automatic installer (PHP 5.0.1 Installer) and then
found out that was a horrid mistake to do, I then downloaded the two manual
installation files, (Collection of PECL modules for PHP 5.0.1, and PHP
5.0.1.zip Package). Did all the necessary unpacking etc and proceeded to
follow the instructions that can with the files themselves, also followed
the instructions from http://www.php.net/manual/en/install.windows.php).
Again went through all the above problems, and came to the same problem,
every time I view my PHP pages, I see the code.

 

So I thought surely there has to be some other way/instructions on how to
sort this out, so off I went searching through the net and came across
another site with pictures, and instructions that actually seemed to make
sense and come together for my system. (Installing PHP via the Installer
http://www.simongibson.com/intranet/php2003/installer.asp, and Manual
Installation http://www.simongibson.com/intranet/php2003/default.asp). But
unfortunately again I come to the same problem where my PHP code is being
displayed.

 

Now if you were wondering if it is my code I quickly created a php file with
one line of code in (<? phpinfo(); ?>) and I get displayed back to me
exactly what is in those brackets, no other error codes or anything.

 

To be honest I really don't mind searching through the net trying to fix
this but I have been unable to find a set of instructions on installing PHP
that actually make sense and work!!

 

So my question is this, does anyone have any installation notes for
installing PHP on a Win2k3 server, running IIS6 with all the least service
packs on?? Or if anyone knows how to sort out why my PHP pages are just
displaying the code and not the results I would be very grateful.

 

Thanks

 

Kev
