Can someone tell me if you need to have Apache to run PHP on a windows 2000 box?
I have downloaded php-4.2.3-Win32.zip
But nothing seems to work
I have run a tempory script and all I see is the script! 🙁
Please help me!!!
You need some sort of web server to be able to run PHP scripts, but it doesn't necessarily have to be Apache. Since you are running win2k, why not install IIS (Microsoft's web server)?
Because IIS is horrible?
what ever you say.. iis is fine with me.. have you even used it?
Yes I'm forced to use it on half of our servers at work, the other half fun Apache. IMO Apache is much better. It's more stable, our IIS servers have memory holed more than a couple of times causing the need to reboot the machine because IIS wouldn't allow itself to be restarted. Apache is also more configurable and just seems to work better with filters, plugins, etc.
It's not so bad. PHP is more secure on Apache, but I haven't really had any problems with IIS.
