The page cannot be found on IIS 6

[FNBIT]

Hello,

I just installed PHP on an IIS server and I am getting "The page cannot be found" when I try to access my index.php page. To test the system out I made an index.html page and copied it to the directory and modified IIS to recognize index.html as the first page to display. This works fine. When I change it back to index.php I again get "The page cannot be found". I have done some searching with google but I can not find anything that is of any help. This is a new install of PHP which I downloaded today (10-5-2007) Has anybody run into this before?

Thanks,

Chris

have a look in the log. you will normally get better information there.

typically this happens because your php installation is not firing up properly. typically that happens because you have not copied the mysql libraries to a path that is in the environment path (or changed the environment path).

Thanks for the info. I went ahead and removed my first install in which I followed the instructions here:

I then redid it with these instructions and it now works:

I am not sure why the first install did not work but the manual way did it for me.

Thanks,
