i am trying to get php 5.0.4. to run on IIS 5...

when i go to a PHP page, it just asks me if i want to download the file, instead of interpreting it

after googling "manually installing php on iis" i found these and followed the instructions: http://www.phpbuddy.com/sub_articles...her_articles=4

and it still asks me if i want to download the php file instead of displaying it

first uninstall php and then try to install without doing manual iis configuration. i hope it will work for you.

regards,
rakesh.

Be sure that you're requesting the file through a virtual directory instead of just opening it.
