http 500 error

[lanzecki]

Hi,

I have installed a new IIS6 on 2003 server. I have installed PHP 5 (msi installer) and I get a http 500 error The website cannot display the page.

Initially I thought it was a php install error, so I removed php5 and installed manually PHP4.

I have double checked the install, and everything is OK, Right, paths, locations etc..

I know I have not given you much information to go on, but I don't understand what's going on.. Dropping a htm file in that location opens that file OK. delibratly getting the address wrong displays the correct error (404).

Everything else (ASP and HTML work fine..)

Funny thing is I get the same error on a near identical server. I installed the new server as the old one has many problems which I (incorrectly) assumed was the reason for PHP not working on the first server.

And this is an unexisting file. An expected error 404.

I would highly recommend you remove all traces of PHP from IIS and then follow the guide I've posted in the FAQ in this forum.

It really sounds like there's a path problem with loading PHP itself. Are you installing PHP to a directory without spaces (e.g. c:\php\) ?

Thanks for the reply.

I've installed it on 2 IIS6 servers, and on this server have used the installer version of 5.??? (latest) and the self install of 4.??

I'm somewhat used to dos prompts and I felt happy doing the changes that were required to install the manual version.

The path points at c:\php

The web service extension points at c:\php\\php4ts.dll and is allowed

all users (at the moment are allowed full access rights to c:\php

If I use command promt and goto c:\inetpub\shadows\eqdkp I can run

"php install.php" and the output is correct.

One thing I don't understand is how the the server know to execute the .php code when it is called from internet explorer..

Any light you guys can cast is apprechiated..
