This may be more of an IIS problem than a PHP problem, but I thought I would
ask here first:

Long story short: recently convinced our IT dept at work that a particular
application would best be done with PHP. For stage one, I created the
scripts/pages running on my LAMP sever at home.

Stage two was to get it running on the test server at work. The test server
runs Win XP and IIS 6. Installed PHP with the 'auto-install' executable from
PHP.net, and everything worked like a champ; IIS recognized the scripts, ran
the php executable as needed, and the scripts ran with no problems.

Stage three was to get everything running on the production server, and this is
where things fell apart. Our production server runs Win 2000 IIS 5. Used the
same auto-install from php.net as before, and everything appeared to work
correctly, but when you try to pull up any of the pages with scripts, the
browser waits until finally getting a timed out error. Checking the running
processes, it looks like IIS is calling php.exe, because we can see the
running processes, but for whatever reason either php isn't handing anything
back to IIS, or IIS is dropping the ball on when php returns the info.

My expertise is with Linux servers, not windows servers, so I very quickly ran
out of ideas for fixes, and at this point, out IT guys are stumped. We're all
Googling to find a solution, but nothing has worked as of yet.

Has anyone else had similar problems, and if so, what was the fix?

Thanks...

Todd
