Installing php

[Knickerbocker]

Hi,
First I must say I dont have a clue im php.
I just bought a new site built in php (www.joke-sites.com), and I have 2 questions regarding it:

1. Are there any setups to change in scripts when I move to another server?

2. Im moving to a dedicated server based on windows 2000, with other sites of mine built with asp.
   This server comes with no program installed in it. I would like to know which program I have to install in order to run my php site, and if there's suppose to be a problem to setup it that my site would work.

Thanks a bunch.

Well depending on what is happening with the other site you may find something work different and some functions not working at all.

As for changes in scripts probably the only obvious thing is database pass/user and database name combination.

I dont recommend using PHP on the windows platform, however if that is what you want to do it wont be as secure and like i said somethings will work different and some may not work at all.

As for installing you will need the zip from php.net copy it to c:\php

There is a install.txt which is fairly straight forward with the installation. You will need to install it as an ISAPI module, as installign as a CGI on IIS will alert you with a security warning.

If you have trouble with the installation i can help.
