note: I think we may have isolated the ISAPI problem...4.1.1 seems to crash in IIS (Win2K) after some period of dormancy only if it is *not* installed as an ISAPI filter as well as an ISAPI application, contrary to the advice given in the installation notes.

I've seen the same problem.  You're right, adding the ISAPI filter does solve the problem.

I had the same problem running php 4.04 as CGI on WinNT 4.0.  I found that if the registry key (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\tcpip\parameters\SynAttackProtect = 2) exists and is set I get the bug that is discussed in this report. By deleteing the SynAttackProtect key, I am no longer get the "The script started fromt he URL...." error and my server no longer crashes.

Before removeing the SynAttackProtect key from the registry I would get the above error and then my smpt server and ftp services would stop responding, and my web service  would stop after 5-10 minutes after the smtp and ftp untill eventually the server crashed and needed to be restarted.

for more info on the SynAttackProtect registry value you can visit microsoft KB#  http://support.microsoft.com/search/preview.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;Q315669

Is this fixed with PHP 4.2.1?

I installed PHP 5.1.2 on WIN2k server with IIS 5, Below is the procedure followed to install PHP

Download the PHP binary for Windows NT/2000 from here.
Download the CGI binary plus API version.


Extract to a directory of your choice. (eg. d:\PHP4)

Copy php4_ts.dll (located in the PHP4 directory) to your windows\system32 directory.

Rename php.ini-dist to php.ini & move it to your WINDOWS directory (c:\winnt)

Open php.ini in an text editor such as notepad and change the following settings:


'extension_dir' to: c:\path\to\php\extensions

'doc_root' to point to your webservers document_root. ex: c:\inetpub\wwwroot

'session.save_path' The ISUR account has must full access to this directory

If you are running NTFS, which you should be, you will need to give the IUSR_MACHINENAME Execute permissions on your document root and the PHP directory. 

If you downloaded version 4.23 or greater, do a seach on cgi.force_redirect and make sure to set it to 0 - in fact you have to turn this feature off in order to run PHP on IIS Web Servers


Open the Internet Services Manager

Right click the top level icon (your computer name) click Properties

Click the Edit button in the Master Properties box to edit the WWW Service properties.

Click the 'Home Directory' tab

Click the 'Configuration' button.

Click the 'Add' button to add an Application Mapping.

Click 'Browse' and find the path to php.exe as the Executable Use .php as the extension and check the Script engine checkbox.


NOTE: Some people want to use the ISAPI filter - you are more than welcome to try it but I have not had great success with it & the people that write PHP suggest that you use the cgi version (exe). If you use the isapi filter in a prodcution environment please drop me a note. 



Click 'OK', 'Select All', 'OK' and 'OK'. 

You should be back at the Internet Service Manager application again.

You must now restart IIS. (Action, Restart IIS)
