Chapter 1
Figure 1-11
Now let’s take a look at the Internet Service Manager, a console application for managing IIS, to see how
IIS has been configured. Select Start
➪ Programs ➪ Administrative Tools ➪ Internet Services Manager.
The IIS snap-in displays in Microsoft Management Console (MMC), as Figure 1-12 shows.
The MMC provides an easy way to examine and manage the services provided by IIS, as well as the Web
sites and FTP sites set up under IIS. Figure 1-13 shows the hierarchical view of the default installation of
IIS:
To do the installation of PHP you need to turn off Internet Information Services and then restart it after
you’re done making some changes. Right-click on the Default Web site and chose Stop from the short-cut
menu. When you’ve got your installation of PHP files complete, you’ll turn the Web server back on. For
now, close the Internet Services Manager.
Downloading PHP5
To get the most recent version of PHP5, go to www.php.net and find the downloads section, as shown in
Figure 1-14 (it may look a bit different by the time you read this).
Download the Windows binary file (it’s zipped) and set it aside. Create a folder (such as C:\PHP5RC01)
on your hard drive, put the downloaded file in the folder, and then unzip the file. You should end up with
something like Figure 1-15 (as seen in Windows Explorer).
The filenames are current at the time of this writing, but of course may change by the time this book is
published and in your hands. But the version of PHP5 that this book is using is very nearly ready for final
release, so don’t despair—your PHP5 installation should work just the same as the book’s does. And
while your installation of Windows may be on your C: drive, the book’s is on the D: drive. You may have
to change some of the path names to reflect your C: drive (or whatever drive Windows is loaded on) to
make your installation work.
