installing php and perl on PWS4

i have searched the web for manuals and whatnot on installing php and perl into personalwebserver4 for win98, and i am having no luck, can anyone please help me if they have any information, my email is URL

read the php manual, chapter "installation".
if you still can´t find it, look here:
http://www.php.net/manual/en/instal...nstall.iis.pws4

perl is another story... (sorry, no idea )

Why bother with PWS at all? Apache is a real web server, and is free. Might as well spend your time learning a real webserver, one that might actually be helpful down the road, than a crippled IIS implementation.

i also want to use asp, which is basically the only thing i know other then html, so until i get use to php and perl, i rather use asp


and hopefully that link will help me out, thanks

To follow up on what Hero Zzyzzx said:

why not install Apache for your PHP and Perl and run PWS for your ASP? That way you can have the best of both worlds.

but my friend did something similar..but with xitami and iis w/ win2k, and it kept giving him "application cannot run on this port 80" or some mess like that..plus like i said earlier, this is a POS server that has no use except as a web server

each server needs its own unique port.
eg. put xitami on port 81 and iis on port 80.

the default index.html for http://localhost is the one on IIS then, and to link to xitami pages he would use the url

http://localhost:81/your/doc/here.html

drawbacks: no shared sessions, no shared cookies.
(mabe cookies; since you are on a POS, you can also setup the client browser to silently allow this)

my bet: go for apache and drop asp.
