Install PHP on Luminis 4 Windows 2000 machine:

Submitted by reickleberry on Thu, 2009-02-12 16:05

Ok, so I've attempted to install PHP 5.2.8 (latest version) on a Windows 2000 machine running Cygwin that has Luminis 4.2.2.0 with no luck.

Does anyone have a good site or documentation on how to do this? Any help would of course be very appreciated.

Thanks to anyone who can provide any insight.

CYGWIN Sucks:

Well, I can install PHP on Windows. I can install PHP on Linux. What I can't do is install it on CYGWIN.

What a wantabe piece of garbage CYGWIN is. It's not Windows, it's not Linux, it's junk.

Nuff Said.

Guess my only solution is to run PHP on a real piece of software that works.

Personally, I'd vote that you move away from Windows. At least where Luminis is concerned.

You'll have a lot less of these headaches down the road.

I 100% Agree:

Everyone on development knew using Windows would cause more trouble. But management contracts out the network support, and they only support Windows.

PHP on which port(s)?

Submitted by ahoward on Tue, 2009-02-17 13:34.

Are you trying to get PHP to run on ports 80/443, which Tomcat is already using? Or are you trying to get it running on a non-standard port with IIS or Apache? Here's a page describing how to run PHP on Tomcat, but it requires compiling PHP yourself: http://wiki.apache.org/tomcat/UsingPhp

Thank you:

This looks like something I might need to try. I was going for PHP 5, this is for PHP4. At this point, I'll take what ever works.

THANK YOU!

Did you ever get PHP installed on your Windows/Luminis box?  I'm looking to do something very similar in the near future.

Thanks
