** This thread discusses the Content article: Installing PHP5 on Windows 2003 and IIS6 **

I have followed your instruction, but when I try to open the http://localhost/index.php it just show a white page. I did just what you did. The only thing is that I have 2003 without servicepack2 and PHP 5.26. But that wont matter, or do it?

I tried that as well in the beginning over here on two servers that I am running. It gave me the same thing. What you can try and do as an alternative if it is just locally on your network. Trying calling up the page by the name of the computer and port which th we page is set up at. Or IP address. As an example over here on my main server I usually access it as Server2:80/index.php once I had completed the set up. if you need to set joomla up the first time around and I'm redoing my second server over here it would be Server2:80/installation/index.php. Since I have active directories running on my primary with DNS running and both my primary and secondary servers have static IP's on them. This is another way of accessing them locally on the network. Give it a try and see if this works. Take a look at the computer name of the server if you are not too sure of the name. It will help you out.

I followed the video completely twice and I cannot run the http://localhost/index.php. default.htm works fine. What can be wrong? FYI, also am using 5.2.6.

Newbie try using the name of the server that you are using for the website (I.E. http://Server2:80/index.php or http://<static IP Address like 192.168.0.105:80/index.php) This is what I had done with mine over here since I have them linked together through a router as a network over here. Plus I have access to all of my machine either via KVM or I use Real VNC connections to access the backside of the machine. And use my favorite browser to access the actual web page itself. Take a look at the name of the computer and on which domain the computer is on or workgroup that it is located at. If the workgroup or domain are not the same as where you are working on anoher computer it might not be reached in theory. But in practice you should be able to access it without the domain name or workgroup name to access the main page.

thanks for the input, i tried all that. It acts like php isn't actually running on the server. I don't know if it makes a difference but I also have Coldfusion on that server.

I don't think so. But if you remember in the video where you had created that little test.php page where it calls the configuration of php. If that comes up without a problem then it should work. Make sure as well for Joomla 1.5.X that the configuration.php I think as well. that it is configured properly. With the information that you had entered in before hand. It might be that can be empty or something is not right with it. I remember in the series of the three there was 1.0.13 and there was a bug jump to 1.5.6 then updated to 1.5.7. I have everything working fine on a windows server 2003 enterprise edition. I am thinking of bringing it up to server 2008 from windows to see if there is a difference.

i created the test page with the 3 lines of code to bring up the PHP configuration. That is the file that I can't get to run at all. No php runs at all. I'm really stumped.

Okay what is the IP address of the machine that you have it set up on? And just reference it to the machine itself. And one suggestion here while I am at it here. Make sure that the IP address that the machine is using is static. When you do and IP config /all and it shows you the IP address on it. (FOr example mine is 192.168.0.105 for my Windows server 2003.) When I want to use that I simply put in the address bar in IE or firefox. http://192.168.0.105:80/ index.php Then it should load up. take a look to see if you can do that on your side. What kind of machine is it if I may ask to see what it looks like by the specs. I amy be able to help you here.

Karl

The ip address is 192.168.2.99. When i use http://192.168.2.99:80/index.php I still get page not found, but the page does exist in inetpub/wwwroot.

Just out of curiousity which version of Joomla did you try to install? I had tried to install 1.5.8 and had a heck of a time in trying to get that version and had lost 1.5.3 or .6 to install in then just do an update on that one. Then I had to revert back to 1.0.15 and worked like a charm since the configuration.php had to be rewritten to what I had it set up to. I know there was a version 1.5.X tutorial but with 1.5.7 and 1.5.8 do not work the same with the tutorial of 1.5.3 pr 1.5.6 with the tutorial.

hello,
can someone please help me how to install MySQL 5.1.34? I am trying to install on the same Windows 2003 with MSSQL 2005 it bomb me out at the stage of starting service. I would like to know if MSSQL 2005 able to run on the same machine with MySQL? Please advise...I'm trying to achieve installation of MySQL and Php for Joomla 1.5. Please advise...

Thanks,
jkirin

Hi jkirin,

Have you gone into the component services and have the settings for your MSSql server set to manual star? I think I know why it has been bombing out on you since you have mssql running as the first database for that testing machine and then trying to run or install mysql along with it. It seems like it is conflicting with msswl. If there are a set of start and stop settings in mssql where you can start and stop it then try stoping the services completely. And installing mysql. Once install do the same thing for that one as well. Where it will not start up when the server is rebooting. By default on either one they both start up by default when the server comes back online after a rebot due to upgrades and patches or when the server has a terrible crash of some sort.

When you need either one or the other can easily start or stop either database from starting up or shutting down when your system is running instead of running both at the same time. A lot less headaches. I had to do this when I was running Oracle 8I when I was programming in 2002/2003. And it was a huge memory hog when it came to loading on a Pentium II 233 or a Celeron 459. With 384 megs of ram. Nowadays I am running systems with at least 1ghz cpu and a gig of ram over here. Once you have the services stopped for MSSQL run the install for mysql you will see that you are able to install. At least it will not bomb out on you.

I am also received the:
PHP Warning: Invalid CRT parameters detected in Unknown on line 0

Same setup, Win 2003, II6, FastCGI. It indicates xcache is loaded. I
also checked system environment variables and the TEMP folder is
accessible, or at least appears to be. The TEMP variable shows in
phpinfo call. dedicated servers

I also noticed that refreshing the xcache admin page shows a new xcache
instance id every time. I take it because the xcache isn't actually
starting since it only caches the admin files (with 3 misses). This
still sounds like it's not able to read/write the TEMP folder. The TEMP
folder never created an xcache file from what I can tell virtual private server hosting.
