04. Move php5ts.dll to c:\windows\php5ts.dll.

Installation of PHP 5.1.2 on Windows Server 2003 is over. PHP5 is now installed on your computer, but you still need to configure it to work with IIS, which we will do in the next step.Now, configured the PHP on IIS -

01. Under Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager, right-click on "Web Service Extensions" in the menu on the left.
02. Then select "Add a new Web service extension..." from the list.
03. Put extension name as "PHP".
04. Browse the file, by clicking at ADD, use C:\PHP\php5isapi.dll for php extension( Used php5isapi.dll for php extension, to avoid CGI error ).
05. Make sure you check the "Set extension status to Allowed" checkbox.
06. In "Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager", left-click on "Web Sites" in the menu on the left and select "Properties". Next, select the "Documents" tab and click on "Add".To ensure that index.php documents open as a default they should be added as a "Content Page".
07. Copy php.ini-recommended from c:\PHP to C:\windows\phpini.

We have to upgrade the PHP for XSL and XSLT by entering the following into

c:\windows\php.ini - extension=php_xsl.dll & set extension_dir= "C:/PHP/ext".
After, this we will do the following for Ice extension for PHP:-

01. Install ICE Ice-3.0.0. This can be downloaded from http://www.zeroc.com/download.html.
02. Build the "IcePhp 3.0.1". (Use the source code for PHP5, for including the library paths) Dependency: Requires Ice for C++ and PHP 5.0.5 or 5.1.2. Here we are using PHP 5.1.2.IcePHP is available at http://www.zeroc.com/download.html.
03. Copy the php_ice.dll to the folder "C:/PHP/ext" from "IcePHP-3.0.1\bin\release".
04. Also copy all the dependencies of IcePhp Use Dependency Viewer Tool to identify this.
- icecpp.exe
- bzip2.dll
- msvcp71.dll
- msvcr71.dll
- ice30.dll
- iceutil30.dll
- slice30.dll
to c:/windows/system32.
05. After, this add the following lines in php.ini -extension=php_ice.dllice.slice = "-IC:/Development/APAL6/D3 C:/Development/APAL6/D3/D3I.ice -IC:/Development/APAL6/APAL3 C:/Development/APAL6/APAL3/APAL3I.ice"so that, the web pages can interact with the C++ APAL6 engine through ICE.
06. Also, make sure that, the PHP pages are using 07. Start the Service & enjoy the web pages on IIS!!.

Wiki - Three simple rules to edit pages

Here are three simple rules when people should know who edit pages on our Wiki server (not the basecamp server):

WordsWithCapitalLetters: All words with embedded capital letters are automatically treated as links to other documents. In this case, wiki would initially show the word wordsWithCapitalLetters like so (WordsWithCapitalLetters)? and allow you to click the hyperlinked question mark to edit/create the page. Once created, wiki would show the word like WordsWithCapitalLetters. The rule goes: if the first lowercase letter is preceeded by an uppercase letter and the word has more uppercase letters following the first lowercase letter the word will be hyperlinked.

((words between double braces)): All words enclosed with double braces are automatically treated as links to other documents. In this case, wiki would initially show the expression ((words between double braces)) like so (words between double braces)? and allow you to click the hyperlinked question mark to edit/create the page. Once created, wiki would show the word like words between double braces

D''''''ontLinkThis, A''''''ndThis, APAL3Test, allOrNothing, APAL3T''''''estCase, APAL3isCool: The six single quotes rule can be used to stop wiki from hyperlinking expressions which should not be hyperlinked. In these examples, wiki would strip the six single quotes simply display: DontLinkThis, AndThis, APAL3Test, allOrNothing, APAL3TestCases, APAL3isCool. The rule goes: if the first lowercase letter is preceeded by an uppercase letter and the word has more uppercase letters following the first lowercase letter the word will be hyperlinked unless you insert six single quotes immediately preceeding the first lowercase letter.
