| I am trying to create a server running iis, php and mysql. I am having issues getting php and mysql to link up, I was searching around and found that PHP is not reading its config file (php.ini) from the location (C:\PHP\) instead its trying to read it from C:\WINDOWS\ and even if there is a php.ini in the Windows dir it does not link with the extensions. I am running PHP Version 5.2.9-2 and MySQL version mysql-5.0.81.
Any ideas?

| Are you sure PHP is looking for php.ini in the wrong place? If it's just a matter of PHP being unable to communicate with your MySQL server, it could be that the MySQL extension in PHP is not enabled. I think it is not enabled by default on Windows, though I could be wrong.
Look in your php.ini for php_mysql.dll, is this line commented out?

| no, I had to uncomment it and via the phpinfo() it shows
Configuration File (php.ini) Path: C:\WINDOWS
Loaded Configuration File: (none)

| Did you setup your ASAPI settings and point php to the php.ini? It doesn't really matter where it's physically located as long as you point IIS to it.

| Do you mean ISAPI?

| Oops, yeah, just caught that. I should proof read.
Here's a pretty good step by step I found

| Why dont you try wamp ?

| Ive used wamp before and didn't like it, something didn't work right plus I don't like apache on windows machines.

| In that "tutorial" you included it shows them using "Web Service Extensions" which I do not have in my iis window, I should clarify that this is on an XP Pro machine as a development machine.

| I have since completely set my iis back to its default settings and then re-attempted the php modifications, now it reads the php.ini but still won't enable the mysql extension even though that line is un-commented in said php.ini file.
