Hi there! I am totally new with programming and php. I just installed php 5 and IIS 5.1 and want to strat learning that . But I cannot access even the hello.php file. there is a blank screen (when I acces view sourse there is normal script). the phpinfo() doesn/t works as well. I checked a lot of manuals and forums and I changed a lot of settings, so I don't know what could be a problem. Can somebody help mi in this matter? thank you ina advance, Kasia
Sounds like you just need to configure IIS to execute php files instead of displaying them. Configure IIS to use PHP. 1. Open IIS 2. Under Home Directory: Set "Execute Permissions" to "Scripts Only" 3. Click on configuration.. a. Click Add b. Set "executable" to C:\PHP\php5isapi.dll (or wherever the path to this file is) c. Set "extension" to .php (don't forget to include the . ) d. Click OK e. Click Apply, then OK. Under ISAPI Filters a. Click "Add" b. Set Filter Name to PHP c. Set Executable to C:\PHP\php5isapi.dll (or wherever the path to this file is) d. Click OK. e. Click Apply, then OK. Restart the Web Server I found these directions at the site http://www.webpronews.com/expertarticles/2006/06/19/installing-php-on-iis-windows-xp-pro Hopefully they will work for you.
