Yep, that's there.

Just tried a few more things, and nothing.

Might format tomorrow. See what happens when I install a fresh copy of Windows.

Stupid thing :(

edit... Nikumba, I'd appreciate anything you could find out for me :)

Yep, the php5ts.dll file also has permissions for the IUSR user.

Should any of these files be in the system32 folder (your comment made me think about that).

They're all in the PHP folder.

YES!

Rename php.ini-Recommended to php.ini and move it to C:\Windows and edit

; Directory in which the loadable extensions (modules) reside.
extension_dir = "C:\PHP\ext"

; cgi.force_redirect configuration below
doc_root = "C:\Inetpub\wwwroot"

move ph5ts.dll to C:\Windows\System32

make sure permissions is set on these 2 files and restart.
 
The php.ini file was already in the Windows directory. Just moved php5ts.dll to the system32 directory though.

And I made a file to call phpinfo earlier. Get exactly the same permissions problem though :confused:

Going to restart now... just incase.

do you no how to use filemon?
 
Not used filemon before. Will give it a shot.

Weird one though... just restarted, and tried to access the phpbb install.php file.

It's brought up a "Page cannot be displayed" screen. Typical 404 page in IE. I've had this before. Does it for the phpinfo.php file I created previously too.

did you manually install PHP ? as in C:\PHP ???

Yep, downloaded and extracted the ZIP file into c:\php

do a format and make sure you follow the instructions, I noticed you got your server as a domain controller..... when you format it

Basically

Format > drivers
Install ISS
Install PHP Manually
Set Permissions
Test
Install MYSQL
Install Web Apps.

But don't touch nothing else until each steps working.
 
Could Active Directory be having an impact on IIS working as it should?

Preferably do need this machine as a domain controller.

Will format it, follow the procedure you've given and let you know. Thanks once again for the help, it's appreciated.

Without detailed checking of the rest of the thread, are you running the 32bit or 64bit version of 2003 Server? I had problems getting PHP running on my 64bit box, had to make a couple of tweaks.

Have you checked in your Event logs if there are any relevant error messages in there? Usually they are a little more descriptive than the EI ones.

I remember having problems when it was in a domain controller yes, but it should not be a problem. Give it a go.
 
Running Server 2003 32-bit and no service pack.

:mad:

On a clean installation now. Only things installed are the drivers for my wireless adapter, ATi drivers, IIS and PHP.

I did try a manual install and got exactly the same error so I removed all traces and tried installing the MSI. Now I'm back to the 'Page cannot be found' stage when trying to open a PHP file.

:mad:

edit... :D Just checked IIS and under the properties for the Default website, Script source access wasn't ticked. Checked that box and just ran a test php file and it seems to have worked.

Going to hold my breath until I've got SQL working alongside it too.

No I didn't. Am looking now. Might give it a shot. Thanks :)

Just read your post. I'd already done everything there on my previous install. That's why I can't understand about the permission errors I was getting.

I'd checked the process against countless installation guides.
