Hi Folks,

I'm a complete newbie to installing PHP.

I have my intranet server (windows server 2003/ IIS)

I need to install PHP to run a redirect script.

Could someone please help me how to install PHP and Zend?

I've tried running the php windows installer but nothing happens, I create a test file and just get the 404 error when I try and browse to it.

My intranet is also live, so would installing php mess up the server?

Any help much appreciated.

Thankyou

    Hi there. I've moved your thread to the Install form. Here, you'll find a sticky entitled "Install FAQ..." - take a look at this thread; I posted a detailed step-by-step guide for integrating PHP with IIS6. I've never trusted the MSI installers and find that it's much easier/reliable to follow the manual installation steps instead.

    Note that you should see if PHP is listed in Add/Remove Programs in the Control Panel before beginning; if it is, try uninstalling it so you can begin fresh. Also delete the PHP directory (e.g. c:\php\ or C:\Program Files\PHP) just to make sure the failed install doesn't leave anything behind.

    If you integrate PHP properly, the only detrimental effects the process will have on your live server is some brief downtime - there is one point in the process where you must restart Windows to make certain changes take effect.
