PHP Does Not Work on IIS?

[notooth]

I designed a webpage named mypage.php and put it in Inetpub\wwwroot. When I typed http://localhost/mypage.php, the page did not show off but the message asked me if I wanted to save this file on my hard drive . Does Anybody know what is wrong?

Please help.

Did you download and configure PHP? IIS does not come with PHP by default.

Ahh, I have just installed PHP, and it worked well . Thank you, Datalore. By the way, can you tell me how to fix another problem? I have MySQL 5.0, but when I entered the command mysql, it showed that ERROR 2003 (HY000): Can't connect to MySQL server on 'localhost' (10061).

Glad I could help. As far as the error goes, do you have a firewall running? Did you make sure port 3306 is open? From my researching, it looks like that could also be a misconfigured INI file. I also found this:

Solution for WINXP !!!

The files are in the wrong place, at least with my example.

Had an old version of MYSQL.

I had this problem, and this what helped me.....

I have Winxp.....

I removed the previous service, because I had an earlier version....

/bin/mysqld-nt /remove

Then I installed the service

/bin/mysqld-nt /install

Then I edited the my.ini file, by opening winMysqladmin

/bin/winmysqladmin

That command having opened the program...then you should

then select 4th tab, which is the my.ini file

You then edit the file to reflect where you had the files of MYSQL...

as the MY.ini said I had it under c:\mysql ....and I had it under

another folder altogeather....

For simplicity sake, I just copied the files from my current folder to

the specified by my.ini

This got me the access I wanted....

Very happy...

Hope this helps....

Thank Datalore for helping me. Mysql is working now after I run the command winmysqladmin . It is amazing.

if you are going into php the best thing I've found is EASYPHP better than IIS

sets all the APACHE MYSQL AND PHPMYADMIN FOR YOU TO USE.
