Run php 4 and php 5.2.x on the same machine with IIS 6.0 as ISAPI.

1. Extract the ZIP packages of both php 4 & php 5 (not the Windows Installer) to c:\php4 & c:\php5 respectively.
2. Setup the corresponding php.ini files in c:\php4 and c:\php5
3. Add the Web Service Extensions for php4 and php5. For php4 use c:\php4\sapi\php4isapi.dll, php5 use c:\php5\php5isapi.dll
4. Add the following registry keys:

   HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\PHP\5\IniFilePath -> c:\php5
   HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\PHP\IniFilePath -> c:\php4
   

5. Add c:\php4 to the PATH environment variable.
6. Add c:\php5 to the PATH environment variable.
7. Associate each web site in IIS with the corresponding php version.
8. Reboot.

Note: In IIS you still need to to have the DLL’s in the “Allowed Web Service Extensions List” and the extensions in the appropriate “Application Configuration” settings for the given websites/applications.

Due to some new enhancements in IIS 6.0, users may encounter a significant delay before receiving the content on the page. This can be a great annoyance for the users and prevent them from visiting your site. To eliminate this delay, follow these instructions:

1. Copy the following:

   Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
   [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\ASP\Parameters]
   "DisableLazyContentPropagation"=dword:00000001
   

3. Open Notepad and paste the text.
4. Save the text file and rename it to for example “IIS6_Delay_Fix.reg”.
5. Merge the file into the registry by double-clicking it.
6. Reboot.
