[PHP-INST] PHP4 in PWS on NT doesn't work for me From: Adam Bennie (adam <email protected>)

I have been trying to get PHP4 working on PWS running on NT4 (SP5) without
success.

I have:
- copied all the files to C:\Program Files\PHP
- copied php.ini-dist to C:\WINNT\php.ini
- copied all dlls to C:\WINNT\SYSTEM32
- Added to my registry:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\w3svc\parameters\Script
Map
    name = .php
    data = "C:\Program Files\PHP\php4isapi.dll"
- Added a virtual directory in PWS with Execute checked.

At this point PWS does not seem to have the "built-in PHP support" promised
by the installation instructions.
.php pages are returned to the browser without preprocessing.

So I edited the php.ini file lines:

doc_root =D:\Inetpub\wwwroot ; yes its on drive D
extension_dir =C:\Program Files\PHP

Then I added to my registery:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.php
name = (Default)
Data = "phpfile"

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\phpfile\Shell\open\command\
name = (Default)
Data = "C:\PROGRA~1\php\php.exe -q %1"

And still no preprocessing in PWS.
I can run php successfully to process my test file from a DOS command line.
But through the browser I just get the page without modification.
I am accessing my test page through my personal web server (not from a file)
and have no problem running perl scripts in the same directory. (perl has a
nice one-click install by the way).

So now I don't know what to try next.
I am new to PHP and it looks like just what I need but my first impression
is

Is installing PHP3 a pre-requisite for PHP4 ?

Please somebody suggest something I can try to get this working.

Adam.
