I fail to set up mSQL + PHP on a bitchy platform.

anyway, i fail to set up a mSQL + php on a win95 box.
i had success to set up it last time, but i forget already how i did it.

anyway, best for me to describe the process here.
maybe those who know may give me a hand... 🙂

1. i reformat the old pc hardisk.
2. install with original win95
3. once installation is complete, windows ask me to update my IE to version 4.0, but i don't want, because the pc don't have so many ram to handle.
4. i install mSQL first.
5. installation OK because mSQL can be run without problem.
6. i then update the IE to 3.02 then restart
7. i check the mSQL, still can run without problem.
8. i install OmniHTTPD 2.10...
9. once restart, i check the mSQL, still can run without problem
10. then i proceed to install PHP.
11. the install method i use here is quite weird.
12. i extract php-4.2.3-Win32 (not the 9xxkb one), and copy the php.exe to omniHTTP folder. i copy the php4ts.dll to windows\system folder.
13. i then set the cgi handler and type for php in OmniHTTPD.
14. (i know the php required the odbc thing which i am not really sure why).
15. i try execute the php.exe directly from the omni folder and it tells me, it need ODBC32.DLL, ok, i extract the data access cab file and place the ODBC32.dll into windows\system folder.
16. i check my mSQL and it is ok to run.
17. i fire up browser, and run a php file, it says it need msvcrt.dll file, ok, i give him that.
18. i then execute mSQL, and it is ok to run.
19. i open up a browser, and run a php file. the file can be click and no error occured, but it will not finish, it runs forever and never display anything.
20. i Ctrl Alt Delete and I see a lot of winoldap (more than 1 entry).
21. by this time, the mSQL server still can run.
22. i suspect maybe i should use the 9xxkb one.
23. ok, i extract the 9xxkb one, copy the php.exe to omniHTTPD folder replace the previous. they are equal in same size,(this is what a little puzzle me ) 21.925 bytes.
24. this time, i run the php.exe directly from the folder, it says it need ODBCint.dll, ok, i give him the ODBCint.dll.
25. the moment i copy the ODBCint.dll into windows\system, PHP can run.
26. i try execute the mSQL, the it failed with error in Kernel32. oh damn it.. dumps out some stack... shit.
27. i am fed up now... anyway, if you go experience setting this tools on this bitchy thing, please lend me your hand..ok.. 🙂
