Hello.
On a previous server running 2000 Server with IIS 5.0 I was able to install
PHP 4 and configure IIS to use the PHP CGI to display PHP pages.

I now have 2003 Server, with IIS 6 installed. I allowed PHP 5 to
automatically configure IIS on installation, though when i call upon a valid
php file URL I get an Error 404 Not found.

HTML and ASP files work, so it isnt anything serious with the IIS
installation.

In Default Website > Properties > Home Directory > Configuration PHP is
properly listed in the Cache ISAPI extensions list with the correct CGI
path.

I also checked C:\WINDOWS\php.ini though it was full of instructions rather
than variables.

I added the entry "cgi.force_redirect = 0" which seemed to fix PHP on my
previous IIS 5 installation.

Please note: this was a fresh install, only a couple of days old. I can only
handle the more obvious parts of IIS and am a complete novice to PHP.

Thanks for any suggestions you might have.
