PHP, MySQL on Windows Server 2003?!?!


Recommended Posts

So... everything is up and running now...

My namservers are working.. my web/mail server is working too.

Now the question is.. is it possible to run PHP and MySQL on Windows Server 2003?

If I want to run PHP-Nuke or even Invision Power Board :cool: is there a way to do this?

I have seen various packages which could be installed and offered apache, mysql, php et. in one installation file... but wont this conflict with IIS?

Anyone tryied it before?

as long as you give each their diffrent ports then apache and IIS can do just fine together

also I've tried several compilations for apache+php+mysql+(insert andything else)

but I've always gone back to installing each by itself

you just have to make sure of some configuration files , but that's something good to learn anyways if your playing around with that sort of stuff

I'd say try to find a good tutorial on installing them... and edit the port on apache ... then change the configs of the others accordingly

I remember robouk had a good tutorial for that... maybe check that out

I have PHP 4.3.2, mySQL 4.0.13 and Invision 1.1.2 running perfectly under IIS6 on 2003 Server.

Just have to remember to add PHP as an allowed extension under Web Service Extensions in the IIS Manager.

How did you do that?

I can't get PHP to work on IIS6.

And it's allowed in the Web Service Extensions section.

edit: i can get it to work using the CGI exe, but I want to use the module instead.

copy the file "php4ts.dll" to windows\system32

since you say you have it working as a CGI exe type thing, you should have entered php.exe in about 2 places. replace those 2 places you typed in php.exe with [your-php-dir]\sapi\php4isapi.dll

(those 2 places are allowed extensions and the part of site properties where you associate .php with the php executable)

next you need to add the php4isapi.dll to the ISAPI apps which is also in the site properties window.

finally click Start, hit Run, and type in iisreset

php should work as an ISAPI module now.

i would look for a php tutorial for xp if i were you since i am sure you will be able to adapt it for 2003

another thought is that if you are to be using php scripts that will be adding + deleting you might have to edit the default internet user account because when i did it i needed to or else i couldnt update my database files (this was using asp though)

    • LG Electronics sees profit dip but boosts shareholder returns by Paul Hill LG Electronics (LGE) has reported consolidated sales of 20.74 trillion Korean Won (approximately $15.14 billion USD) and an operating profit of 639.4 billion Korean Won (approximately $466.75 million USD) for the second quarter of 2025. The firm saw both its revenue and operating profits decline year-over-year due to external factors such as US tariff policies, ongoing geopolitical issues in the Middle East, and a slowdown in consumer spending. While the company has faced challenges, the company is aiming for what it called qualitative growth by strengthening its subscription services, direct online sales, and business-to-business (B2B) segments. Key areas of growth for LGE include automotive electronics, heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems, and the webOS platform. The US tariffs are a major headache for companies around the world, given the size of the market there and President Trump's demands for bringing manufacturing to the States. To combat the rising US tariffs, LGE is trying to optimize global production and refine its market-specific approaches for premium and mass-market products. While the company’s profits dipped, it announced an interim dividend of 500 Korean Won (approximately $0.37 USD) per share for both common and preferred, with another payout later in the year that should take the total for 2025 to at least 1,000 Korean Won (approximately $0.73 USD). You must be holding the stock on August 8, 2025, to get the payout on August 22, 2025. The firm also said it will cancel 761,427 common treasury shares on July 31, 2025, making shares more scarce which could increase the value of remaining shares for investors. In terms of LGE’s various business divisions, things were mixed. Its Home Appliance Solution (HS) business achieved year-over-year sales growth, maintaining profitability, thanks to a dual strategy for premium and volume segments and growth in online sales and subscriptions. Its Media Entertainment Solution (MS) business experienced declines in sales and operating profits with the latter turning negative due to market uncertainties and stiff competition. Its Vehicle Solution (VS) business showed growth in sales and operating profit thanks to increased orders from European automotive makers. Finally, its Eco Solution (ES) business saw domestic sales increase, but overseas sales growth was limited due to US tariffs. This led to a slight year-over-year drop in operating profit due to higher costs. Image via Depositphotos.com

    • Similar to how Nvidia stopped caring about the consumer market a while ago and now just pays lip service to it because it prints money.
    • Yep same as every company, sadly. The biggest bank in Australia just laid off a bunch of staff even though they made record profits, then advertised the roles in India
