[RESOLVED] php dev on Vista

Hi,

I have installed phpdev on my Vista pc! However, when I run it the browser goes to Internet Information Service. Do I need to download a newer version of the software and install it or will my current version work in Vista if I switch to "XP Compatibility" mode?

Thanks,

That's the 'default' page you see when you create a website. If you're not seeing your PHP pages then your IIS may not be configured to run PHP. Have you set it up in the ISAPI modules?

Have a look at a long, boring video - http://learn.iis.net/page.aspx/375/s...stcgi-for-php/

Thanks! This is the first time I have tried to run phpdev on Vista, I mainly run it on my laptop under Windows XP.

I followed the instructions:

http://learn.iis.net/page.aspx/246/u...ons-on-iis-70/

when I attempt to run php I receive messages about different dll files even though when I go to the directory they are there. No sooner than I replace one dll it happens with another one?

You'll have to be more specific with the error messages - are these PHP DLLs? What are the messages?

This application has failed to start because "Dllname" was not found. "Dllname" being the name of the certain dll file.

At first it is those two dlls:

php_mssql.dll
php_mysql.dll

but as I said above when I replace them the problem occurs with other dll files too.

I have disabled the IIS and am attempting to load WampServer from scratch! However, php-win.exe keeps wanting php4ts.dll in the directory when wampsever 2.0 comes with php5ts.dll. I replace php5ts.dll with php4ts.dll but receive the following error:

The procedure entry point_object_and_properties_init could not be located in the dynamic link library php4ts.dll.

However, php5ts.dll works fine on Windows XP when I run WampServer.
