Install PHP on Windows 2003 IIs x64

Hi

Thank for the reply

I will try to answer all your questions
 
-  What other configuration have you done?  

I have tried severak. But the last was FastCGI

I have fastCGI, and the webPI for the configurations, and no luck

-  Did you restart after enabling 32-bit apps?  

Nope. This i neve did. I always enable and try to run php. Do you thing this may be a diffenrece?

-  Have you added php.exe or the ISAPI dll as a filter?  

I have tried with both ways.

-  Have you made sure the IIS service user has adequate permissions to your PHP directory?  

No i did not confirm that. But since this was a instaltion with webpi, or just msi, i think i do not need.

-- Have you added the PHP directory to your path?

YEs

-- Have you set the force_redirect option to 0 in php.ini?  

Yes

-  Have you set your document root properly in php.ini?  Have you added PHP as a valid web service extension?

YES i have tried to use dll, or exe as the web service extension.

I think the problem in where is the x64 server. I am not a php expert, but i have done this before, but never in a x64. Since i have no restart the server after enabling the 32 bit, maybe this was the reason.

Restarting can't hurt, and it's always a good idea to restart services when you make a configuration change.  IIRC, setting an environment variable (like PATH) does not take effect until the system is rebooted...don't quote me on that, though.  

Checking the permissions on the .exe/.dll folder can't hurt either.  Remember that you will need to allow permission to the same user listed on the application pool's identity tab.  By default, that should be "Network Service".  You can also try the IUSR account, but I'm pretty sure you need the application pool user.

Does a normal .htm file work as expected in the same directory?

Do your event logs show any events when you try to browse to a PHP page?

Hi

Yes html pages work. I have some sites that just use html, and they are all working.

I have some changes. Add the I_USR to the php folder

If i use cgi.exe or just the php.exe as a filter i get

The HTTP Filter DLL C:\PHP\php-cgi.exe failed to load.  The data is the error.

and

Could not load all ISAPI filters for site/service.  Therefore startup aborted.

If i use dll, i get

The script started from the URL '/index.php' with parameters 'option=com_rss&feed=RSS2.0&no_html=1' has not responded within the configured timeout period.  The HTTP server is terminating the script.

and

The HTTP Filter DLL C:\PHP\php5.dll failed to load.  The data is the error.

Since this a Virtual Server, i will create another Windows 2003 server, now only with 32 bit.

And see if the problem is the server is 64 bit

What version of PHP are you using?

http://windows.php.net/snapshots/ contains 32/64 thread-safe/non-thread-safe versions.

 

Hi

What is the difference between the safe and the non safe?

Jail

Hi

First the msi files from the http://windows.php.net/snapshots, dont work.

I have download the 64 bit with zip option, and manually install.

But i get the problems :(

If i use the filters, i get in the event viewer

Could not load all ISAPI filters for site/service.  Therefore startup aborted.
The HTTP Filter DLL C:\PHP\php5.dll failed to load.  The data is the error.

If i remove the filter, and just use php extension, if i ass the .exe, i get nothing. Just a page error. A¬ny of the exe, if i use the php5.dll file i get "The specified procedure could not be found. "

I have made the path changes, the permissions change, the ini changes, and still this PHP dont work :(

I am still trying in the 64 bit server.

Any ideas?

Jail

There is no ISAPI anymore for PHP 5.4 You have to use FastCGI. Which is why I've moved to IIS7 now.

I answered a related question at http://www.experts-exchange.com/Web_Development/Web_Languages-Standards/PHP/PHP_Windows/Q_24284819.html.

Hi

But i am in Windows 2003, and IIs 6

Cant move to 2008.

I have installed the FasCGI in this server.

Since i have FastCGI, i dont use filters?? Is that right?

And in my Web extension file i use php5.dll, or other exe? In my installations i have php.exe, php-win.exe an php-cgi.exe. Withc this must i use in the extensions(if i need to use this), and witch i use in the Aplications Extension?

This php installation is driving me crazy :(

I will upload my php.ini just to confirm my settings

Jail

Hi

Cant upload the ini file? Even if I zipped?

Jail

Hi

I have renamed the ini to txt

Jail

Hi

Still doesn't work :(

Jail

And what do you get to see? I've only just started using IIS7 with PHP. IIS6 is a complete unknown to me.

Hi

routinet thanking for the message, and step by step

I have already follow that steps, i have double check that, and all is the same :(

Still get Error 404 de HTTP, running a php test page.

<?php
phpinfo();
?>

Do you thing the problem is the php.ini? Is the only thing that i can remember, since all the other configuration is like that.

PS: I am running now in a 32bit Server

Jail

That's the strange thing.  If it was just that PHP wasn't working, you would get a 500 error (Internal Server Error), or an application error.  A 404 means it is not finding the page.  That could be permissions, or just something simple like a typo in the name.  Double-check all the permissions.  If you still can't find anything, download http://live.sysinternals.com/procmon.exe and find out what is actually being requested/denied.

Hi

In the 32 bit server the problem is resolved. In the php.ini, after I remove the

doc_root = c:\inetpub\wwwroot // for IIS/PWS

The problem was revolved.

Now i am tring to make it work in the 64 bit server. Since i do not want to server(one with webmail, and other with the other sites), i will try in this server.

I have made the same changes, but until now did not work.

My last option is to leave the 32 bit server working.

Jail

Hi

In the 64 bit server php is running.

The same problem, remove the doc_root, from the php.ini and all work.

So much time, and the doc_root was the problem :(

Jail

Hi

Ok the problem is resolved and i will close this question.

Since anyone give the right answer i will split the points just for your suport.

I think i dont like in this question/answer, is when we suport a user to try to help, and then he just close/delete the question, just because he found the solution, or the problem is resolved with other solution.

I think in most cases the Expert deserve the points, just to put the user in the right track, or just for the support. Not in all the cases, but in most of them.

But that is just me, and my opinion.

Regarding my problem, i just need one little support on an issue.

How can i disable the error_reporting in the php.ini??

I have tried several ways, but none of them work. And then the php page give time out, or

CGI Error
The specified CGI application misbehaved by not returning a complete set of HTTP headers.

My last change was to error_reporting(E_ERROR | E_WARNING | E_PARSE)

And still no work, and some error.

If i comment the  error_reporting, is ok but too i get too many

Strict Standards: Non-static method JLoader::import() should not be called statically

Is there any other way to disable this type of report?

Thank you

Jail
