install PHP4 on Win98/PWS

Anon

Hi,

Is there anyone out there, who found the ".reg" file and installed PHP4 on Win98/PWS succesfully? If yes, please give me the instructions clearly! Thank you for your cooporation!

Anon

yes I have precisely that system (win98/pws)
I followed the instructions in php manual under installation there is a section for win 98 you need to go into your registry and tweak some stuff to get php to work. It's tricky but if you follow the steps precisely it should work, it did for me.

You can find the .reg file in the php4 source code (in the .tar.gz file) and you have to change the path.
else you can build yourself:
REGEDIT4

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\w3svc\parameters\Script Map]
".php3"="[PUT YOUR PATH HERE] \php4isapi.dll"

You can grab the php 4.01 release, the .reg file you need is now included in the .zip package. Imagine that, the file you need is ACTUALLY there now...what's next? Flying cars?

Hi,Folks

I don't want flying cars but I want flying carpets!!!
I have got the "*.reg" file finally. And since then, I have been trying to install PHP4 on Win98/PWS, no success! I followed the instructions exactly. I keep getting an error message:
"HTTP Error 403
403.1 Forbidden:Execute Access Forbidden..."
What is going on here? Any insight?

For your "..execute access forbidden..", you need to set the directory properties from PWS (e.g. Front Page), or other admin tool, to "Allow scripts or programs to run".

You may also need to set the directory properties from the Windows Explorer, to allow 'Share as..', and then "Web Sharing" as "Share Folder for HTTP" / "Execute scripts".

I tried that but it still didnt work. Please help me, I cant get it to work. Same 'Forbidden error'
