IIS6.0 and PHP using ISAPI

Hello!

Did anyone experienced anykind of problems using PHP with IIS6.0? I am using
php4isapi.dll as Web service extension and sometimes PHP somehow "blocks". I
need to manualy restart IIS to get pages using PHP back to work... Any
ideas?

Not from those minimal details, any event log errors? Does just
stopping and restartingt he particular site help? Have the latest PHP
ISAPI plugin?

Well... I just cant "track" the thing in event viewer... I need to restart
IIS a whole thing... How can I check which version am I running? I
configured this server on april 2004. Do you think there is something new
about php4isapi.dll?

Is there an error message in the Event Viewer that corresponds to IIS
services stopping or your PHP application problems?

Try IIS State:

Good questions for the PHP crowd. Since the PHP site at php.net lists
versions of PHP4 and PHP5 dated in September 2004, it's a good bet
there's a newer version than yours.

You may be simply looking at a PHP design limitation hidden underneath
common folklore.

ISAPI uses a performant asynchronous IO processing model which requires
advanced programming concepts like thread-safety, while PHP and most of its
libraries are notoriously single-threaded and not thread-safe. If PHP
throttles requests back to being single-threaded for "compatibility" and do
it incorrectly... it can result in what you observe.

Any ideas how to solve this thing? I tried to copy a new version of php
isapi to php folder but it does not work. Should I uninstall old PHP and
install a new version?

I've been trying to get PHP and Mysql to work in IIS6.0 for too too long. I
have followed many step by steps, and I end up with the same problem.

I install and verify PHP is working
I install and verify MySql is working
When using PHPMyAdmin I get an error telling me to upgrade the MySql
client...but I already have the most current MySql client....It's like PHP
and MySql can't talk to each other.....

You could try that. You could also try the IIS Crash/Hang agent next time
PHP locks up to get more information about what's causing the hangup. I
haven't personally had any problems with PHP/IIS6, but I don't use it that
often so maybe your issue is only something that occurs under load.
