post deleted ... posted to wrong thread... sorry

im trying to get php4 and php5 installed as running the the same server in isapi mode.

I followed some of the instuctions here and seem to have them running and loading the correct ini files. horrah!.

However im having problems as the isapi version of php 4 and 5 wont load the mySQL extention or at least gives errors and does not show mySQL in phpinfo.

Alternativaly if I switch to using the cgi versions then they load mysql and allow mysql connections (And it shows in phpinfo). 

Any ideas?

I assume that:

- you have uncommented the mysql and/or mysqli extension in php.ini?

- you have copied the file libmySQL.dll from the MySQL bin folder to the php installation folder?

Sure.

As I said PHP works in CGI mode (Same install, same php.ini, same extention files) but in ISAPI mode mysql (and a bunch of other extentions dont load)

Here is the phpinfo for two sites on the same server.

http://www.servwise.com/test.php ; site using CGI

and

http://webclickgo.com.servwise.com/info.php  ; site using ISAPI

I just had a thought, could running both isapi and cgi versions of php be causing this issue, what I meen is that when i restart IIS it goes to the first site and loads the CGI versions, this locks the extentions and when isapi version tries to load them they are locked or something? 

Nope maybe not, i disabled the php-cgi.exe extention (Even renamed  the file so it couldnt be loaded) and restarted IIS but still no ISAPI working.

I see from your phpmyinfo that the Mysql bin folder is not in the Environment variables. It's recommended to do so and afterwards reboot.

stupid question, do you mean in the windows path?

Control Panel > System > tab Advanced > Environment Variables > System Variables > select Path > Edit > in the end add the path to the Mysql bin folder.

Okay either that or the reboot seems to have done the trick. Cheers

the preconfigured PHP 5 package for Windows. use this much easyer but go to site www.php.net and change the mysql.dll with 5.x lower ver then new because of major bug problem connecting to the mysql any ver. so you need to replace with a old ver in the php 5 family in order to stop error besides thats this package is ready to use....

just add to iis and enable any ver you want works perfict...ISAPI OR PHP.EXE or PHP-CGI.EXE

your choice have fun phping lol.....

Also check out the new fast-cgi extrention for IIS, run PHP in cgi mode faster than isapi and more compatable.

IIS FastCGI and PHP: What you absolutely need to know to host PHP applications on IIS 6 and IIS 7

I know this is an old thread, but I am running into the same problems.  I followed the instructions Here with the exception that I have had PHP5 running on my system for some time, so I simply followed the PHP4 section.

I am getting a 403 error when running info.php
Network Service and DNPWebUsers have read&execute permissions on "C:\PHP4\php.exe"
"C:\PHP4\php.exe" is allowed in web service extensions
"C:\PHP4\php.exe" is added to the DNP config for PHP4

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

nm... i changed from php.exe to
c:\php4\sapi\php4isapi.dll and got a little help from http://www.maravelias.gr/archives/php/35

seems to be running now.
