Problems in installing PHP on Windows Server[Virtual PC]

[learning_php05]

Hi all,

Currently, i m trying to install an open source PHP application into one of my windows server 2003. I m trying to install it on my virtual pc. So here's my problem:

I have followed the guide on http://www.peterguy.com/php/install_IIS6.html.
The only problem is i m confused abt which file to download and xtract it into the server.

In order to install PHP, i have to dl PHP 5.3 (5.3.1)

Download source code [18.72MB] from http://windows.php.net/download/
n extract it into C:\PHP

i have also downloaded VC9 x86 Non Thread Safe (2009-Nov-19 09:53:39) Zip [14.07MB] from http://windows.php.net/download/ to xtract it into C:\PHP\ext.

Ths steps i did are following the guide given on the link above. The problem is i can't find php.ini-recommended, php5servlet.dll and php5activescript.dll as stated in the steps of the guide.

Can anyone tell me have i download the wrong file?

I need a PHP file to xtract in C:\PHP and a PECL Win32 binaries to xtract in C:\PHP\ext right?

plz correct me if i m wrong on some steps. Thx in advanced

Make sure you read everything in his post. You'll note he's using 5.2.5 as that was the latest at his time of writing. So you moving up to 5.3 will have some noticeable changes. One of them being that php.ini-recommended seems to have changed to php.ini-production.

As for the dll files he references, I'm not sure. I never had to use them when I put php5 on IIS.
