I'm just starting with php , but I couldn't make it work on my win 2k iis 5 machine.
Do I have to register the dll's?
Does anyone knows a more detailed installantion guide??

It's a doddle -

Go to http://www.php.net and download the precompiled binaries for Win32. These have all the instructions you need for installation on Win32 with IIS or PWS. It literally takes a few minutes - after the download :-) to get going.

This is the config I'm running, so give me a yell if you get stuck.

The "failed opening 'X' for inclusion in Unknown on line 0" error message is generally the equivalent of "file 'X' not found".

Are you sure that the "E:\Inetpub\wwwroot\dudz.php" file exists? No typos, wrong pathname, etc.?

hi oliver,
got a hold of this thread @ phpbuilder. i seem to be having some problems copying 'mvscrt.dll' over top of the old one since w2k has dll protection or that the driver is in use.

do you know how i can circumvent this problem? i feel a little more 'in control' installing under linux :)

thanx in advance,

chris

Hi Chris,

I do remember having any probs with MVSCRT.DLL but... you can't usually install over this file whilst in Windows since it's tied into the OS - the way around it is to start Windows at a DOS prompt (press F5 when booting) and then overwrite the file from there (without the GUI running) and then restart, but I'd check you're overwiting with a newer file than the existing one or you might find yourself with more problems than you started with. Always backup the original too :-)

Hope that helps,
Ol

P.S. You're right about Linux - MS make evrything much harder to work with in the name of "User Friendliness" (IMHO)

hey thanx oliver,
i ended keeping the original 'msvcrt.dll' file. the rest of the installation was pretty uneventful, but in the end we got a box that can do actually something eventho it's running a M$ os!!

having some probs w/ phpMyAdmin under w2k but perhaps that's another thread...

thanx again!
