justsomeguy Posted May 28, 2011 Share Posted May 28, 2011 This looks like the problem:There is a duplicate 'system.web.extensions/scripting/scriptResourceHandler' section definedYou might have 2 mappings for PHP set up, there should only be one.

CNT Posted May 29, 2011 Author Share Posted May 29, 2011 Looks like I will need to do a clean format. I think the duplicate is from downloading/installing the trail HTML editors. I knew I will endup format the HDD, but I rather wait little longer. So, where to adjust the config for the PHP?More questions... is IIS a web server?Is installing the PHP from php.net makes it a PHP server, not a web server?Is installing a SQL Server makes it a database server, not a web server? I really like to learn how to do a database server because then I could store name, address, etc from a registration page. And then on top of that, I need to learn how to have a clueless user to read or exract data from it (as I am designing the website for this person). I have SQL Server 2008 (included with my VS2008).So, first, I think I need to understand if or how I have a web server on my own laptop. And along with that, how or where the PHP residences with a web server. The SQL thing can wait.Chuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will configure your computer to run Apache, a web server, which supports PHP, as well as giving you access to a local MySQL database. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justsomeguy Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 More questions... is IIS a web server?Yes, IIS is Microsoft's web server software.Is installing the PHP from php.net makes it a PHP server, not a web server?No, it's a web server that supports PHP. PHP is an application the web server runs. When the web server gets a request for a PHP script it executes the PHP application and passes to it the PHP source code of the file that was requested. PHP executes the code and passes the result back to the web server. The installation you are doing is setting up the process by which the web server knows to execute PHP when a .php file is requested, where PHP is installed, etc.Is installing a SQL Server makes it a database server, not a web server?No, it makes it a web server and a database server. High-use web sites split those tasks up and use dedicated web servers and dedicated database servers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
