PHPtriad + Win2k = IIS?!

[novex]

well, Im sitting here trying to install an apache server to test php scripts and the such on, but Ive gotten as far as installing it into c:\apache and thats about it...

whenever I try to go into http://localhost all I get is the windows 2000 IIS thingy, even though I have a ppache running at the time, etc, etc...

is there a way to get rid of the IIS thingy and replace it with apache?

thanks for any help

Your resolution to an imediate problem:
Okay, Think on this one... if you got to http://127.0.0.1, http://localhost/, or http://yourip/ and you get iis then you obviously have iis installed... if you are running win2k go to control panel, add remove programs, and then add/remove windows compontents and uncheck iis... click okay, then let it uninstall... then go to start, programs, apachie, start service...
MY RESOLUTION TO A LARGER PROBLEM:
What i would do is keep iis on there, remove apachie and install php for iis which is free at php.com! this enables you to run php scripts, asp scripts, and much more... that's what i do for http://www.portalofpork.com

thanks, I uninstalled it and now the apache works pretty much perfectly...

not too sure about the IIS idea though, and still trying to get perl to run on apache (anyone got any tips?)

actually I think Ill try installing IIS and seeing if it works better, with apache theres an awfull lot of code tweaking and stuff...

next time you use IIS alongside apache, set one of the HTTP ports to something other than 80. Easier to do in IIS.

for instance, my IIS on my server is on port 8080, while I'm giving apache port 80.

open Internet Services Manger, expand the server name, then right click on the Default Website. Select Properties... then you can set the port information for IIS there. you will have to use http://localhost:8080 to get it to work correctly though for all things IIS related.

alright, ive totally lost apache and replaced it with IIS (easier to use).

But I still cant get the PERL part working, ive got PHP and ASP and all that happenin, but not PERL (aka. cgi-bin).

anyone got any ideas? Ive gotten to the point where I installed a ActiveState Perl and have _apparently_ gotten it all set up (ive entered them into IIS as a .cgi and all that) but all that happens is that I get a timeout when trying to run them...

anyone have one of these set up that could help, any suggestions welcome

not running, or not configured correctly?

in your C:\inetpub\wwwroot, there should be a cgi-bin directory. with ActiveState, there should be a bit of paperwork that explains the setup of what needs to be there... it's been a while, and I'm on the mac at the second. but if I remember anything else, I'll post.

dont worry about it, after a lot of screwing around I finally got it working

it all seems to work good, except a few minor things like sendmail (didnt think that would really work but when I get some time ill screw around) but hell, its good enough for me

thanks again
