PHP on Windows with IIS

Stole

Hi,

I'm a beginner to php, trying to install php on windows. I have windows XP running IIS 5.1. I have downloaded & started Windows PHP InstallShield installer , and it said "installation succesfull". Now I'm not sure what to do next, how do I run my .php pages ? i tried typing http://localhost/ (like with ASP pages) but it does not work. Help ?

First thing to do is, uninstall the PHP you installed with the windows installer. Then go download the zip file and use it instead. And read the install file that comes with it.

OK, I did that but now I get "The page cannot be displayed" when I try to load my .php page from http://localhost/mypage.php.
I did change php.ini but not sure if I did all right. (php.ini -> php.txt in attachment). Help ?

hey, a question, did you auto config for IIS using the installer work?

Yes > auto config for Microsoft IIS 4 or higher
