PHP IIS 5 issue

[biggunn]

I just installed PHP 5.3 on XP with IIS 5. I've configured IIS and the php.ini file as best as I could with all of the recommendations I could find on the web, but something still isn't right. Here is what is happening...

When I try to load a php (basic hello world) page at http://localhost/phpinfo.php, the page will load for about half a second then gets redirected to http://www.localhost.com/phpinfo.php and the pages comes up with a "The connection was reset" error (in Firefox). It also seems to break or shutdown IIS because if I try to load an ASP page right after that, I get an "Unable to connect" error.

Anyone run into this issue before, or have any ideas on how what I need to configure? Thanks in advance.

You don't need PHP 5.3 with ASP.NET.

Are you sure that your page is named example: index.php and folder settings of your root folder is load first "index.php" "default.aspx" etc?

E: I think this is ASP.NET section, because you have problems with IIS?

.. IIS has nothing to do with ASP -- the root of this problem has nothing to do with ASP. IIS is a web server, ASP is a programming language. I'm not sure how you might get the two confused.

I've just never used IIS as a platform for web stuff, so I am of no use.

Thanks for the input, but I got it figured out. Although not the way I wanted. I was not able to get PHP installed with IIS 5 on XP. I had to install Apache 2.2 with PHP 5.2. PHP 5.3 is apparently not compatible with Apache 2.2 at this time.

I guess there is a way to install PHP with IIS on a windows server machine and IIS 6, but not with XP and IIS 5.

Again, thanks for your input.

PHP 5.3 is apparently not compatible with Apache 2.2 at this time.

If that apache version is 2.2.11 then yes it is! I use them both with WampServer2.

Apache has no problem supporting any version of PHP. If you're having problems with PHP 5.3 and Apache 2.2, you might just be doing something wrong.


And, I'm not an IIS guy but I've heard up until IIS 6, it wasn't really all that great to work with. Using old software sucks, anyway.
