I downloaded php 5 zip, executed the files to c:\php, then configured IIS for php but whenever i try to run a php file, the page just keeps on loading. I've tried it with the most basic codes. Any hints?
View your task manager and check if there are more than one instance of php.exe running. kill them all and try again, how you are using php, cgi or ISAPI ? i would preffer cgi because the same problem was happening to me once.
Why don't you download Apache + php + mysql for windows ? Lots of installers out there and you'll save a lot of time/headaches.
No only one php.exe is running and its the CGI version I tried searching but could'nt find it, can you link me to one?
XAMPP is downloading right now but i tried once more with IIS and this time it runned fine but now i'am getting this error: '<p>This PHP CGI binary was compiled with force-cgi-redirect enabled. This means that a page will only be served up if the REDIRECT_STATUS CGI variable is set, e.g. via an Apache Action directive.</p> <p>For more information as to <i>why</i> this behaviour exists, see the <a href="http://php.net/security.cgi-bin">manual page for CGI security</a>.</p> <p>For more information about changing this behaviour or re-enabling this webserver, consult the installation file that came with this distribution, or visit <a href="http://php.net/install.windows">the manual page</a>.</p>' Any hints how to remove it? i tried following the manual but nothing changed..
