HTTP/1.1 502 Gateway Error

[talco51]

hi there,

i've got a problem using php 4.3.10 on Win2K server and IIS5.

using windows installer and php 4.3.9 and i could use automation(ie new COM) but i could not use extensions(php_mssql.dll).

so i unistallled it and manually installed it (4.3.10) again

everything's fine(extensions as well) but automation.
I cannot use ADO, Word, etc.

i've got the message:
HTTP/1.1 502 Gateway Error
Server: Microsoft-IIS/5.0
Date: Fri, 07 Jan 2005 09:49:28 GMT
Connection: close
Content-Length: 186
Content-Type: text/html
CGI Application Timeout

PS:it's not a timeout problem, it could be some IIS configuration
anyway the IUSR_.... user has permissions on the virtual directory.
with automatic installation everything was working

please help me

thanks

talco

First guess: it's an either or thing. Check msdn.com and ms knowledge base.

PS I gave up trying to even get OLE automation going on W2K a couple of years ago, always get server not registered which is what I've come to expect from MickeySoft. Have not bothered to look at the new COM.

One thing, I applied the latest W2K security patches during the xmas shutdown and guess what, I've spent the last 2 weeks fixing bugs they introiduced:

1. Garbage collection stopped working so after a while applications would not start. Looked in running processes 5 copies of Access.exe, 3 copies of out 3270 term emulator etc.
2 One field in 1 table decided to switch to US date format, all the rest are still UK? Go figure :bemused: No fix, just a code rewrite to work around it.

So I'm not in the least suprised that you can't get the COM and the extensions to both work at the same time.
