Thanks for the warning, Derek. My server didn't respond at all to PHP with "ISAPI server setup" chosen, so I changed the PHP setup to to "CGI server setup" and it worked. I don't remember being given that choice on prior PHP (5.2.0 and before) installs, so I just guessed -- wrong, it seems. This is just my development machine and testing server, nowhere near production, so performance isn't an issue yet. I definitely need to know when we go into beta and production on the client's server. I am *such* an idiot when it comes to hardware issues -- I don't see any place on my server setup where it IIS-5 differentiates between working in CGI mode versus ISAPI. (Or am I not even saying that right?)
