Installing PHP on IIS6
September 16th, 2007
The other day I wanted to setup Drupal for the Sarasota County Foster Parent Association website to allow all us to make changes and updates easier. I was getting a number of errors during the install so I decided to reinstall PHP with the latest version.
I uninstalled my existing version of PHP (5.1?), found all of it’s dlls and ini files and then rebooted. I then installed PHP 5.2 and then tried to load a PHP test page. I kept getting a 404 error but I knew the page existed! I searched the web for a number of hours going through tutorials and KB articles and finally came across the following link on the PHP site for a tutorial on how to setup PHP on IIS 6.
I finally realized that the problem was that I had an old web service extension in IIS that was pointing to the old PHP directory that no longer existed. Once I removed that extension and added the new extension (from the tutorial), things worked great!
Here’s the link to the tutorial: http://www.iisadmin.co.uk/?p=4
