הורדתי את "תוכנת ההתקנה"
ש"עשתה עבורי את כל העבודה (איפה האייקון של הסמיילי) כמובן שכלום לא עובד. צרפתי פה את קובץ ההוראות ל"התקנה תחת חלונות" של העסק. אם מישהו צריך סיבה למה להמשיך ב ASP וותיק ונוח הנה הסיבה: אגב אי אפשר לשגר מעל 7000 מילים לכן המסמך מקוצץ... PHP/Windows Installation Notes ============================== Installation on Windows 9x/Me/NT/2000 systems ============================================= There are two main ways to install PHP for Windows: either manually or by using the InstallShield installer. Windows InstallShield ===================== The Windows PHP installer is available from the downloads page at www.php.net. This installs the CGI version of PHP and, for IIS, PWS, and Xitami, configures the web server as well. Note that this version does *NOT* install any extensions or server api versions of PHP. Install your selected HTTP server on your system and make sure that it works. Run the executable installer and follow the instructions provided by the installation wizard. Two types of installation are supported - standard, which provides sensible defaults for all the settings it can, and advanced, which asks questions as it goes along. The installation wizard gathers enough information to set up the php.ini file and configure the web server to use PHP. For IIS and also PWS on NT Workstation, a list of all the nodes on the server with script map settings is displayed, and you can choose those nodes to which you wish to add the PHP script mappings. Once the installation has completed the installer will inform you if you need to restart your system, restart the server, or just start using PHP. Windows Manual installation from zip binary distribution ======================================================== This install guide will help you manually install and configure PHP on your Windows 9x/Me/NT/2000 webservers. This guide was compiled by Bob Silva. The original version can be found at http://www.umesd.k12.or.us/php/win32install.html This guide provides manual installation support for: Personal Web Server 3 and 4 or newer Internet Information Server 3 and 4 or newer Apache 1.3.x OmniHTTPd 2.0b1 and up Oreilly Website Pro Xitami Netscape Enterprise Server, iPlanet PHP 4 for Windows comes in two flavours - a CGI executable (php.exe), and several SAPI modules (for exapmle php4isapi.dll). The latter form is new to PHP 4, and provides significantly improved performance and some new functionality. However, please note that the SAPI modules are *NOT* yet considered to be production quality. In particular, with the ISAPI module, you are likely to encounter serious reliability problems especially on platforms older than W2K - you may witness a lot of server 500 errors and suffer from other server modules such as ASP also failing. You have been warned! The reason for this is that the PHP SAPI modules are using the thread-safe version of the PHP code, which is new to PHP 4, and has not yet been tested and pounded enough to be considered completely stable, and there are actually a few known bugs. On the other hand, some people have reported very good results with the SAPI modules, and there a few reports of problems with the Apache module version. In short - your mileage may vary; If you need absolute stability, trade the performance of the SAPI modules with the stability of the CGI executable. If you choose one of the SAPI modules and use Windows 95, be sure to download the DCOM update from http://download.microsoft.com/msdownload/dcom/95/x86/en/dcom95.exe" For the ISAPI module, an ISAPI 4.0 compliant Web server is required (tested on IIS 4.0, PWS 4.0 and IIS 5.0). IIS 3.0 is *NOT* supported; You should download and install the Windows NT 4.0 Option Pack with IIS 4.0 if you want native PHP support. The following steps should be performed on all installations before the server specific instructions. Extract the distribution file to a directory of your choice. C:\PHP\ is a good start. You need to ensure that the dlls which php uses can be found. The precise dlls involved depend on which web server you use and whether you want to run php as a cgi or as a server module. php4ts.dll is always used. If you are using a server module (e.g. isapi or apache) then you will need the relevent dll from the sapi folder. If you are using any php extension dlls then you will need those as well. To make sure that the dlls can be found, you can either copy them to the system directory (e.g. winnt/system32 or windows/system) or you can make sure that they live in the same directory as the main php executable or dll your web server will use (e.g. php.exe, php4apache.dll).
