installing PHP4 as isapi filter

Anon

I tried intalling PHP 4 on NT 4, IIS 4, as an isapi filter rather than CGI mode, and I get Dr. Watson errors when trying to restart my various services.

I installed all the PHP files to c:\php
I have my php.ini file in c:\winnt
I tried to map a filter in IIS to c:\winnt\system32\php4isapi.dll.
I set up an application configuration in IIS as .php extent pointing at the same php4isapi.dll file.

Basically, I followed install.txt that came with PHP4.

It doesn't work, only CGI mode works, can someone help?

Thanks,
Brian

Check the NT event log (systems pane, not application pane) and look for W3SVC events. One of them should indicate why the filter didn't load.

My guess is that the filter DLL can't load the rest of the PHP DLLs. It needs (via PATH environment via) to know where they are loaded.

I looked in log files, and I couldn't find an error anywhere other than some ones about "can't bind instance X", I think that has to do with virtual IP's and host header names or something. Anyway, I still can't get it to work. Could a path in php.ini not be correct and cause this crash?
