Chris,
I have had no problems running PHP on SBS2003. I hope this helps.
Thanks to those enthusiasts that I borrowed from to complete the
installation.
This installation was on Windows Small Business Server 2003 with MS SQL.
1.. For phpbb to run, php and its web extensions must first be installed
and configured. Go to www.php.net and download the latest Windows binaries
or the complete installer package, php-4.3.4-installer.exe. I used the
Windows binaries at http://downloads.php.net/ilia/php-4.3.5RC1-Win32.zip
which is the latest binaries Release Candidate for manual install. I would
be curious to know if the installer package works on SBS2003. If so, you may
be able to forego the next several steps required for a manual install. I
did the binaries manual install so I would know exactly what changes I made
to my NOS.
2.. I extracted php to the root directory of my chosen drive. By default,
it created a folder named php-4.3.5RC1-Win32. I renamed this folder to php
for simplicity, so now I have php extracted to <drive>:\php where "<drive>"
equals C or D, ect.
3.. CREATE THE FOLLOWING FOLDERS in the new directory <Drive>:\php
CREATE "log"
CREATE "sessions"
CREATE "upload"
4.. NOW FIND "php.ini-recommended" in the new directory <Drive>:\php
and COPY it to you system folder, C:\WINDOWS OR C:\WINNT and then RENAME
IT TO "php.ini" OPEN IT UP....scroll down or use Find to make the following
edits:
1.. error_reporting = E_ALL
CHANGE TO......
error_reporting = E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE
2.. ;error_log = filename
UNCOMMENT and POINT THE PATH TO YOUR IN PHP DIRECTORY
error_log ="<drive>:\php\log\error.txt"
3.. ; Windows: "\path1;\path2"
;include_path =".;<drive>:\php\includes"
CHANGE TO....
include_path =".;<drive>:\php\pear"
4.. ; Directory in which the loadable extensions (modules) reside.
extension_dir = "./"
CHANGE TO....
extension_dir ="<drive>:/php/extensions/"
5.. ; Temporary directory for HTTP uploaded files (will use system
default if not
; specified).
;upload_tmp_dir =
CHANGE TO....
upload_tmp_dir ="<drive>:\php\upload"
6.. If you want to use the php mail(); function....
[mail function]
; For Win32 only.
SMTP = localhost
; For Win32 only.
;sendmail_from = me@localhost.com
CHANGE (SMTP = localhost) only if you are not hosting your own mail
server
CHANGE TO.... smtp server name
SMTP ="smtp.ya-right.net"
CHANGE (sendmail_from = me@localhost.com)
CHANGE TO YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS
sendmail_from ="fataqui@ya-right.net"
SAVE php.ini AND CLOSE.
5.. GO TO >> my computer >> RIGHT CLICK
SCROLL >> properties >> LEFT CLICK
GO TO >> advance tab >> LEFT CLICK
GO TO >> environment variables >> LEFT CLICK
HIGH LIGHT LOWER WINDOW "Path" >> LEFT CLICK "Edit"
at the end of the "Variables Value" >> ENTER
;C:\php\dlls
The above path should point to the PHP "dlls" folder, NO trailing ( \ )
CLICK OK 3 TIMES
6.. OPEN IIS Manager and go to Web Service Extensions
Add new web service extension
EXTENSION NAME, ENTER "php4" << without the quotes ""
CHECK "set extension as allowed"
CLICK "ADD"
Browse to <drive>:\php
CLICK ON "php4isapi.dll"
When you click on it the full path will load into the...
"Path To File" text box....
C:\php\php4isapi.dll
CLICK OK
CLICK OK AGAIN
7.. To install PEAR, just click on "go-pear.bat"
in your new PHP directory "<drive>:\php" and follow the directions.
