[RESOLVED] php dev on Vista

[Nightwalker83]

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 Do I need to download a newer version of the software and install it or will my current version work in Vista if I switch to "XP Compatibility" mode?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,


Nightwalker

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?

[Nightwalker83]

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.
