64-bit PHP binaries

Prev: Server side redirection - yet again
Next: exception throw from __autoload could not be catched on php 5.3.1
From: "Morne Fourie" on 11 Feb 2010 05:10 Hi Pierre. Thanks, it is all getting a lot clearer now. However, there is still one more problem. Initially when i deployed PHP on this server I used the 5.3 nts version but could not get it working. If i ran the cammand line i could see it was working but it would not deliver the pages via a webbrowser. As per my earlier post i get a dot net error. This brought me to the point where i started thinking this is a 64bit issue. I also stated earlier that i think there is a setting that is not configured and that is not on the documentation and that is why it is not working. I however have been unable to figure out where the problem is. There is a lot of mention of running a command on IIS to get it to run as a 32bit version. Is this true?

I am fairly new to IIS 7 on win2k8 so it is still a steep learning > curve. Again: The recommendation (from php.net and from Microsoft) is to run PHP x86 (32bit) on Windows x64 platform. It works very well (better than php x64 on x64) and is proven stable. PHP Web applications won't see the difference as PHP is portable, it is not aimed to be run on x64 or x86, it has to work on both. The differences at this stage on windows are: - The libraries are not tested on windows x64 and for some of them not even ported - There is no gain (no performence improvement, no larger integer or whatever else you are looking for) About configuring PHP x86 on IIS x64, this process is the same than for windows+IIS x86. See our manuals, the IIS section. Cheers, -- Pierre @pierrejoye | http://blog.thepimp.net <http://blog.thepimp.net/> | http://www.libgd.org <http://www.libgd.org/>

I run x86 php on my IIS x64 windows just fine (2k3/2k8/2k8R2). There was some extra setting before with the ISAPI, but it is not required anymore as it runs through FastCGI (different process than IIS itself). See: http://www.php.net/manual/en/install.windows.iis7.php for a detailed explanation about the FastCGI setup. Cheers, -- Pierre @pierrejoye | http://blog.thepimp.net | http://www.libgd.org

From: "Morris" on 11 Feb 2010 06:53 Thanks Pierre. I am going to redo it in the morning. Just a quick one if I may. There is a hotfix from microsoft and some admin tools that is suggested should be installed. When I try to install it it says I have the incorrect software version or operating system. have you come across this on your travels with php installs on win2k8?
