Windows 2003 + PHP installation >:(
Les Mackenzie:
I'm having an issue installing PHP4 on my IIS 6.0 server. I am using the installer and am told that PHP 4.3.3 has been installed successfully but get the following error.
"Due to missing OCX control on your systems, the installation Wizard is unable to configure your web server. However, PHP has been successfully installed, and all you need to do now is manually configure the web server as described in the install.txt file which can be found in your php installation directory."
I manually configure for 'IIS 4.0 or greater' and continue to get a
"The page cannot be found - 404" error when accessing anything with a php extension?
I have defined all the neccessary permissions for the dir. etc but still have an issue with the above error.
I'm a first time installer on this platform so does anyone either (a) have a theory as to why this doesn't work or (b) have a solution that they have found.

I'm not going to be helpful, I just want to say that this is the reason I moved to Apache. Win2k with IIS5 and the thing just would *not* hook in to php, then I had an issue with MySQL and php not being able to work together... ugh, that was a nightmare. I switched to Apache, and now I can't imagine going back. So my internal dev server is running 2k, Apache, even Tomcat (for my wife) and each install was pretty simple.
Wish I could help.

I've run PHP on IIS 4, 5, 5.1, and 6. It is very possible.
I've found that 2003 has issues with the current ISAPI. Try the CGI, and make sure you've enabled all unknown CGI/ISAPI extensions. (for now at least.)
See if that works.

On my webserver at work, I run PHP4 & MySQL on w2k with IIS 5 - but use the CGI version.
Some say its slower, but to be honest, it doesnt seem to make any significant difference to me :-\
