IIS not aware of PHP?

[SimonJC]

I posted a message in the MySQL forum and got the following response:

Looks like IIS doesn't know its suppopsed to be using PHP. personally Im unsure of how to configure it to do so but a post in this forum : Forum41 should get you up and running quickly.

I've put a copy of the origional message below.

Hi

I'm trying to setup my computer as a server.

OS: XP Pro
IIS: installed
mysql-3.23.55-win
php-4.3.1-Win32

When I ran "winmysqladmin" I received an ODBC error saying that 3.51 drive hadn't been found. I didn't find the 3.51 driver straight away but found the "myodbc-2.50.39-nt" which I installed, error still there! (obviously!). I have since installed the 3.51 driver which has cured that error.

Do I need to remove the 2.50 driver? If so how?

I've used a test.php (located in "c:/Inetpub/

http://wwwroot")

from "PHP & MySQL for DUMMIES" (like me) and I get the following error:

Error " . mysql_errno() . ": " . mysql_error() . "" elseif (mysql_num_rows($result) == 0) echo("Query executed successfully!" else { ?> Variable_name Value
&quot; $row_array = mysql_fetch_row($result); for ($j = 0; $j < mysql_num_fields($result); $j++) { echo(&quot; &quot; . $row_array[$j] . &quot; &quot; } echo(&quot;
&quot; } ?>

I set the following as:
$host=&quot;localhost&quot;;
$user=&quot;root&quot;;
$password=&quot;&quot;;

I've since tried the same &quot;test.php&quot; on a commercial web host and it ran fine.

Can some one please point me in the right direction?

Thanks

Simon

IIS doesn't come with PHP as standard.
info here on what to download and install to get it up and running.

IIS 5.0 (Windows 2000 Advanced Server)

I tried to get IIS 5.0 to work / see PHP scripts using the info found on these two sites

http://www.phpbuddy.com/

http://www.php.net/downloads.php

I also installed MySQL on the server, but I ran into problems with the IIS 5.0, PHP scripts and the database (MySQL).

I fixed it by un un-installing everything and getting this file

appserv-win32-1.9.0.exe (this can be found here >>

http://academic.cmri.ac.th/appserv/

) which contains PHP, MySQL, PHP-Nuke (which I use), Apache Server.
I did a custom install and left out the Apache Server and PHP-Nuke.
(I now notice that 2.0 of this application is out, but I have not tested it yet.)

I installed MyODBC-3.51.06.exe

and then rebooted the server.

I then configured IIS 5.0 to look for the php.exe file in C:\AppServ\php and rebooted the PC again.

Now all my scripts and database work as they should.

Would be a good idea if someone could make a new installer like the appserv-win32-1.9.0.exe so that it works without all the headache of a manual install.
