HELP!!! Can't get PHP installed properly...

[Our2CuteKids]

PROBLEM SOLVED -- I made a typo in the test.php file. that's why it wasn't working!!! DUH!!!!

Forgive the post, but I must be doing something wrong. I cannot get PHP to install properly on Win2K machine running IIS. I've used every possible version out there, automatic install as well as manual. I've deleted everything and restarted about 4 times already this morning.

So I'm going to start from scratch again. Can someone help me figure out what versions of PHP and MYSql I should be running to be able to run the scripts successfully.

Can anyone help? I'm basically trying to set up PHP and MySQL to run in IIS. At this point, I just want to get PHP working first.

When I run test.php, I just get the source code, rather than PHP info page.

Thanks!

it may be simpler for you to just install something like xampp (http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp.html). this will install everything you need, including the apache webserver.

do you really need iis?

Unfortunately, yes. It needs to run on IIS. And I'm at a loss. I tried reinstalling again, using "php-5.0.5-Win32.zip", went through all the steps and still only see the source code. I'm pulling my hair out with this one. I've installed PHP on other servers before and never had this much trouble.

I need to configure PHP with MySQL for some scripts that someone wrote for me, but the initial problem was "Error: Client does not support authentication protocol:" And the solution indicated that Possible solutions are: downgrade to MySQL 4.0; switch to PHP 5 and the newer mysqli extension; or configure the MySQL server with --old-passwords. So I opted to switch to PHP5. If only I could get the blasted thing working!!!! ARGH!!!

And everything I read says not to use the installer version. I'm ready to try it anyway.
