php installed...being asked how to open?

[jrdeahl]

I have php 5.2.5 installed and it did the same problem with 5.1.1.

running xp.

I have a index.php file which is to do a pic gallery. It works on a apache install and a previous abyss install.

With this install I get the open/save file box. When I say to open it gives me "file already in use" error.

???

thanks

PHP is not installed correctly. Use the tutorial on www.abyssunderground.co.uk to install PHP correctly. This error only occurs when the interpreter is not installed correctly or PHP crashes upon execution.

I started from scratch. Installed new w2k, abyss and php. Now php just brings up a dos box and scrolls the test.php.

I am using 5.20 downloaded from your website. Followed all instructions to the T. Checked everything several times.

I would have liked to use the 5.2.2 from here but it has several crc errors and then won't delete without without chkdsk -r.

what OS are you running for your server?

W2K

[NuccatheWarrior]

Are you running Apache or Abyss? And what version of php you are trying to install now?

abyss 2.3 and php 5.2

[NuccatheWarrior]

okay, you know where the directions on how to install php on Aprellium right? You use those directions, but make sure the index.php is in that list for index files on the administration panel on the server. If that doesnt work, then its probably the version your using for hosting php web pages. I use 5.2 as well, but i use windows xp home sp2 and i never had a problem with it.

Or the windows your using doesnt support php configuration. Besides i dunno why you use w2k to run a server. w2k has been obsolete for 3 or more years now since the Microsoft Corporation stopped supporting that version. They only support winows xo to vista now, which is stupid the way they think, dont mind my 2 sense thereXP

I use w2k sp4 because it is the most solid of windows next to linux.

Yes, I have gone over all the settings a few times and everything is ok according to the tutorials. When I used apache it was installed and ran ok.

I do have 5 domains setup if that makes any difference.

[AbyssUnderground]

W2k is very solid with SP4 installed, I totally agree.

Make sure you set up PHP on EACH domain. You can't set it up on x domain and expect to use it on y domain.

I uninstalled php again and installed one I new worked with apache 5.1.1.

Instead of a dos window with the script scrolling through it, I now get a browser window with the script displayed 9not scrolling).

Uninstalled that version and installed 5.2.2 from abyss website. Same thing.

have found that sometimes when you install/reinstall php that the server does not exactly connect with it correctly. Try going into each domain settings, go to the scripting parameters and edit your php line. go through the steps of pointing to the php-cgi.exe clicking on the main folder first(ie; C drive or program files ect;) and drilling down to where the php-cgi.exe file is located. when you first edit it you may have to "drill UP" to get to the main folder. it will tell you you have to restart the server. do so then move to the next domain and follow the same procedure.
another possibility is your php.ini file. the installation program has you install it to the php folder. It is possible the windows 2000 OS is not reading correctly because it is not in the C:/WINDOWS folder. you can copy and paste it there, reboot, and see if that works.
Good luck!

[jrdeahl]

I have checked everything several times. I have even put an eviroment vari in as PHPRC and c:\php5.

I have made changes to abyss server setup and nothing makes a difference.

[jrdeahl]

I setup another partition woth xp, abyss and php5 from the abyss website.

Same exact things happens as with the w2k installation.

index.php opened from a webpage that does a photo gallery just shows the code in a browser window.

This setup worked with w2k and apache except with php 5.1.

Iam guessing it must be something in the php5 ini config.

[NuccatheWarrior]

[jrdeahl]

Thants all fine and good but the test file to display the php configuration doesn't even work.

Does anyone have a php.ini that works well with w2k they can send?

Is there anything about php that loads in to windows memory that I should be seeing?

Try using this file.

Abyss X1 2.5.0.0 + PHP 5.1.2 (some common extensions enabled)

Instructions
Create folder C:\Program Files\Abyss Web Server

Extract the zip file to this directory.

Browse to http://localhost/phpinfo.php to test PHP
Enjoy!

BTW, the console credentials are admin:password

In my current config localhost brings up my host config screen. Is that what its supposed to do?

I also put test.php, which is the php config, in abyss web server directory, in htdocs and console. It did not bring it up anywhere with http://localhost/test.php

[AbyssUnderground]

http://localhost:9999 should bring up the console
http://localhost should bring up any websites you host

If this is not the case then you need to configure the console to use port 9999 and the server to use port 80. This is probably where you're going wrong.

Configed 9999 to console and already had 80 forwarded.

It just made it so "page not found" comes up.

[NuccatheWarrior]

no no no, you dont configure your port number from 80 to 9999, no, you configure it just to port 80, which is a default port for your web pages. Port 9999 to so and so is for your console on the server.

if its showing up page not found, then the server isnt up or has started at all. Thats most obvious

are you using a domain name, ip, or are you just doing it locally on your computer?

Abyss Web Server runs like it has two servers in it.

Port 80 is your web server that people access to view your websites and files in your htdocs. This is configured in the HOST section.

Port 9999 is the configuration side of the server that only you access to change settings etc for the server. It serves no other purpose or ways of accessing files on the server.

When you want to access a file you do it through the port 80 side of the server, not the console. PHP is set up inside the console, then you go to the port 80 side to test files that use PHP.

I hope this makes it a bit clearer.
