i was trying to install PHP on my windows server 2003 which in already running IIS6.0 while the installation of PHP is straightforward so I was a little surprised when I was presented with the following error after browsing to http://localhost to check that everything was working .

What is the error that you received

How are you trying to install PHP?

The easiest way is to use the Web Platform Installer http://www.microsoft.com/web/downloads/platform.aspx (install it on the server and run from the start menu)

Then you just have to config the FastCGI PHP extension.

There are several good resources here:

http://php.iis.net/

There is nothing related to PHP on default localhost page :eek:
