PHP with IIS

[Papago]

I'm trying to follow the instructions for getting PHP to work with IIS. I
found the instructions here:

[url]http://www.phpbuilder.com/columns/jayesh20021029.php3[/url]

I'm not trying to do the database part, just the PHP.

My problem happens with the instructions on page 3:

[url]http://www.phpbuilder.com/columns/jayesh20021029.php3?page=3[/url]

It says to click the Configuration button. I did that, but nothing popped
up. What's going on here? Why isn't the configuration button working on my
machine? Does anybody know what the problem might be?

Yeah, that's what's happening. What does it mean that IIS is stuffed? I've
never heard of that.

Is the Configuration button greyed out? If so, click Create to create an
application.

If the button is active but it's still not popping up, then your IIS is
stuffed. Reinstall it (and/or Windows).

Means it's Broken :-)

The button is supposed to do something - if it doesn't then, something is
clearly badly wrong with IIS.

Clearly. I haven't heard that expression before though, I'd have just said
that it was corrupted.

I tried re-installing it, but it didn't fix anything. I'll be damned if I'm
going to re-install Windows just over this though. I was able to get around
the problem by using the automated installer for PHP - it automatically
creates the settings needed to work with IIS so I didn't have to use that
button after all.
