Upgraded PHP on Win2K, now get this error...

skubik

I'm running Windows 2000, and am using IIS5, I also have Apache running on a different port, but I doubt that makes any difference here.

I haven't touched my Windows 2000 setup in months (usually using Linux), but a recent project I'm working on requires me to develop in Windows (half of the application is done in ASP, the new add-on is in PHP). Last PHP I had in Windows was PHP 4.0.?, so I decided to upgrade it to the most recent last night, following the detailed instructions I had written during installation of my previous PHP.

But now I try and load a PHP page from the IIS5 server and get this error:

Warning: (null)(): Failed opening 'C:\Inetpub\test01.php' for inclusion (include_path='.;c:\php4\pear') in Unknown on line 0

All test01.php is, is phpinfo();

Any ideas what might be going wrong here?

Thanks,

skubik.

I have the same issue on a new install of PHP4.3 on Win2K with IIS 5. From what I have been able to determine is that the INI file is not being read properly.

I looked at my INI file and the include_path variable is configured currectly.

So I then did a grep-style search for the string that is displayed in the error message. The only file returned is the PHP dll.

So I then copied my INI file from the WINNT dir into the PHP4 dir. (Thinking the DLL may be looking in that dir for the INI) But nothing changed.

Apparently the PHP DLL is not getting the INI file or the DLL was compiled incorrectly.

Any one have any other ideas?

Apparently the install sheild doesn't put the DLL in the correct dir. After reading the manual...I learned that the DLL should be in Winnt/system32.

I also looked more closely at my INI and discovered that the include_path variable was commented out by default. I thought I had changed this but had not, doh!. I also configured the doc_root variable in the INI. Some of the docs I read said this is not necessary in IIS but others said it was necessary.

Now, I stil get the same error but at least the include_path shows the path that is in my INI.

Also, keep in mind when you move/edit the DLL or INI you have to stop and restart IIS.

So the error is No such file for inclusion, when I know the file exists.
