I am totally new to PHP and I am trying to get it install on my  
cousins server (unfortunately he lives in California and I live in  
Utah). He has a windows machine and runs IIS as the server software.  
He a couple of my sites (i.e. www.giboneydesigns.com &  
www.wolfberrytea.com). I don't know much about IIS or web-serving for  
that matter but i know that my folder on his machine is located at  
"e:/backup/wwwroot/giboneydesigns"

So a couple of days ago I told him to follow this tutorial (i don't  
know if it was a good one, but it looked good)  http:// 
www.phpbuilder.com/columns/jayesh20021029.php3

Last night he told me he had uploaded it. How exactly he did it I  
don't know. Anyways I have my first PHP file located at    
www.giboneydesigns.com/test.php   all it contains is the following code:

<?php
    phpinfo();
?>

When i go to that page though it says it isn't found. I don't know if  
my cousin did something wrong or if it is because he has multiple  
websites running, but I don't even know what to ask him.

Thanks for the help.

Hi,

I've installed various versions of PHP (4.x - 5.x) on windows servers 2k,
XP, and 2k3.  That's IIS 5.0, 5.1, and 6.

I've seen different packages that have this type of install or with those
features, but the absolute hands down, no mistakes way to install PHP on IIS
is to use the install that comes from PHP.net.

It's on this page - http://www.php.net/downloads.php
Listed as PHP 5.1.4 installer [2,639Kb] - 04 May 2006

They've done their homework and have NEVER had to reinstall.  It will make
it so that the directories currently under IIS, now support PHP scripting so
you don't have to do anything else.

I'm on the IRC channel as mindjuju if you want to talk.
