Anyone one here with experience running Cold Fusion and PHP on the same box? I recently installed PHP 4.0.4pl1 on my NT 4 (Sp5) box with IIS4 (w/SSL) and Cold Fusion 4.5.1.

Now Cold Fusion runs find until the first PHP script runs, then it hangs. A reboot is necessary to bring it back to life. This happens with PHP doing ISAPI or CGI. I've had trouble with CF/PHP co-existing on another box too, but too long ago to remember the details. I searched this forum, but no messages related to cold fusion mentioned this problem.

I am download sp2 for CF and will try installing that but I don't really expect it to help. I'll also try a complete reinstall of CF, but I'd like to avoid that. Any suggestions?

    Hi,

    I would like to make the same thing as you but i don't know how, can you telle me please if you find the solution it will be very appreciate for me.

    here is my email : h_da2000@yahoo.fr

    Thanks

      I run cold fusion and php on the same box with no real problems. But I'm on Linux, so I can't really offer a lot of help. We have found Cold Fusion to be much more reliable under Unix than Windows, and it seems to handle high loads MUCH better under Unix, even small unix boxes outrun fairly large NT boxes with CF.

      Note that you can build a test CFM/PHP/Apache/Linux box for the cost of some time and some old hardware, so it may be worth investigating switching.

        I had done some testing and development using both PHP and Cold Fusion on the same server and had no issues between their co-existence.

        Of course it was Apache on Linux. Sounds like you may have found another Windows feature.

          Thanks for all of your suggestions. Unfortunately, NT is not an "option" here. I just setup another box for IIS/PHP until I get time to figure the problem out (which of course means I'll probably never get it figured out - I don't have that much time!)

            I have to admit, the difficulty in getting all the doodads to work in NT was the main reason I switched to linux. I must have spent dozens of hours trying to get stuff to work in Windows NT that just worked with little or no effort in Linux. Sorry to hear that you don't have any choice in the matter.
