blank PHP Page

[jellyfish]

I installed PHP on my test server at home and I can't seem to get PHP to work.

I'm trying:

Code: Select all

<?php phpinfo() ?>[code]

It gives a blank page.

I used: php-4.4.0-installer.exe to install it.

It's running on Windows 2003 enterprise edition (& SP1) with IIS 6.0.

I did most of the stuff in the installation instructions.

should I post up my PHP.ini file?

[EDIT]

OK now it's all pages (including .htm) that are displaying this way!

Hmm never bothered with php and windows. Never got it working. Especially not with IIS. (I hope this is not a public server )

But try <?php phpinfo(); ?>

Also look for a line in php.ini about "report errors" since by default it's off which is a pain since you can't see errors, but it's a security feature so people can't see server paths and stuff, which is lethal on a windows based server running IIS (though most exploits won't NEED the paths, it's just easier)

still not working, infact now I can't view anything on my server even .htm pages.

the server isn't public, it's just for testing things out before I upload them to another server on the net.

in my defence: I need IIS running for my University work (nearly all of my computing modules are Windows based!).

I can get php working easily on IIS 5 but not IIS 6. (it's not a major deal if I can't get php working as I have external webspace).

Yeah for php I'd get apache / linux, or at least apache for windows. I never even knew it was possible to get php for IIS.

I just uninstalled PHP...IIS is flimsy, it uses any excuse it can to go down...
