I've installed php on top of Peer Web Services on an NT workstation.
When I get the browser to display a PHP script it just hangs until it times out. php.exe is being executed because I can see it in the task manager (crt-alt-del).
The mapping registry setting is "hkey_local_machine/.../script map/.php = c:\php\php.exe %s %s". I've assumed this is correct as php.exe is being executed. I have also tried forward slashes as mentioned in the manual's installation notes.
I have made sure that all dlls and exes and directories have rwx permissions. (Overdoing it for now)
I don't have any extensions but I have tried extension_dir = c:\winnt\system32. (Also tried forward slashes and an extra slash on the end and ./ which is the default)
The only clue I have and I don't know how to follow up is that I read somewhere in IIS that the mapping of .php scripts to c:/php/php.exe should be done at the directory level through the management tool. But Peer Web Services resembles PWS on win98 and I can't see any set up like that for a directory. You really only get the option to say if a directory is readonly and executable.
Has some one else experienced this problem? Can someone suggest something to try?
