configuration problems - winXP - php - mySQL

[iamsw00sh]

I did it on win2000

i installed mySQL:
mysql-essential-4.1.10-win32.msi
(from

http://dev.mysql.com/get/Downloads/MySQL-4.0/mysql-4.0.23-win.zip/...)

i installed php:
php-4.3.10-installer.exe
(from

http://www.php.net/get/php-4.3.10-Win32.zip/from/a/mirror)

then I copied phpMyAdmin (that tar gz stuff)
and i typed //localhost/phpMyAdminfolder ... and it was working ...

Now I am doing tha same thing at home but with windows XP
I can't make it work
Plus I don't have internet back home, so it might take a while.

Do you guys have any idea what should i check if it is all right or not?

It gives me an error: "Page cannot be found"
I just installed IIS 5.1, I tried all kinds of settings ...

ASP is working ... (i donno if this helps ))
PHP is giving the good old "Page cannot be found" error.

pls tell me what do I do wrong

thank you

Have you told IIS that PHP is to be used as an ASAPI filter?
Have you restarted IIS after that?

Have a look at this:

http://www.php.net/manual/en/install.windows.iis.php

 

[iamsw00sh]

ok thanks I will try this at home ...

any other ideas?

i am very afraid of walking home, doing stuff ... findin out that its still not working ... and have no idea what to do next

so i'd apreciate any other idea ...

thanks

i don't really understand why there is no good installer for all this, something user-friendly ... because the manual installation it is a bit hard, especially for people like me, who have problems installing / configuring stuff, and who have problems speakin english ...

What is your language? The PHP documentation is available in many languages and yours may be one of them.
If you don't want to deal with IIs, then just download something like easyPHP

http://www.easyphp.org/

which installs Apache, PHP, MySQL and PHPMyAdmin. Have a look at that.
