Ok, so my boss wants to use a nifty little PHP script that requires a mySQL
backend. No big deal, or so I thought. I install mySQL 5 and PHP 5.1 and
everything is grand! Until we notice that ColdFusion was reporting JRun
protocol errors and a JDBC error, and the web server (All servers are Win2k,
and our Web Server is IIS5.0) can't load any .cfm pages on our website.

I checked ColdFusion, and it says all data connections are fine. During
installation of PHP, I had to modify my PATH, under system variables to include
"C:\PHP\ext" as well as add a new environment variable "PHPRC" pointing to
C:\PHP.

When I removed those two entries, ColdFusion started working properly again.
And for the life of me, I can't figure out what went wrong there. Any ideas or
suggestions?
