php4: only php4 extension works.........

Anon

after installing php4.03 with the windows installer it works, but only with extension php4, not .php!!!i get CGI-error PHP: "Unable to parse configuration file".

I checked the registry (...w3scv/parameters/scriptmap/etc.....) but extensions php and php4 are set the same way, directing to
C:\INETPUB\SCRIPTS\PHP\php4isapi.dll

Any thoughts?

Thanks!

What webserver are you using?

I remember having this error when we originally configured the IIS server.

Properties for Domain/Web Directory
"Home Directory" tab
"Configuration" button

Your entry for .php should read as follows:
drive:\path\php.exe %s %s

Yes, two "%s" and spaces between them and the path to the PHP CGI.

Hope this helps,

ps. If you're using a different webserver, let me know and we'll see what we can do.

Hi sean!

Thanks for your answer, but this is with w98 on PWS, and all directories are set to execute rights etc........

Any other thoughts?

Congrats on getting the ISAPI working under Windows ;-)

Did you have an older copy of PHP running on this machine before? If so, check the File Type mapping in the Explorer (look for something called "Folder Options" in the View menu)..

Try adding the %s %s to the end of the registry entries..

Unless you have a real attachment to the PWS, you can try using OmniHTTPd (it's free but need to download new version every so often) as it has the PHP support right out of the installer (keep your php.ini file though ;-)

Hope this helps,

Thanks Shao,

yes, i had php3 running......
And at the moment i have NO file type mapping added to .php or .php4 in explorer/view/options etc.(i know what you mean:o))
Should i do this? and if so, to what file? (the mapping in the -registry- is now set to a php4-dll.)

Thanks!

Export the registry entry for the .PHP4 extension (everywhere you find it) and then remove it from the registry (just leave the .PHP one)..

If this still give you the same error, perhaps we could set up a time and then use VNC (or something similiar) to check out the problem..

I don't have a Win98 machine I can use to setup PWS and PHP to test out over here.

Thanks Sean! i'll give it a go!!!
btw:Also remove all connections in the explorer, or is that irrelevant?

Should be irrelevant.. Let me know how it goes

Nothing!!!!!!!!!
Only extension php4 works......
when i put the php3.ini file in windows dir, then php works, but with php3...........

Where is the connection that says the server to parse with php.exe/isapi?

Thanks!

That would be configured in the Web Server
