Newbie question - accessing PHP

Greetings,

I've just installed PHP 4 (current stable release) on our server with IIS4.

PHP seems to work and typical testing script (<? PHPInfo(); ?>) works fine.
But I am able to run it only if I am sitting at the server computer (I run
http://localhost/test.php). How can I run it from computers attached to the
server from our company network?

I tried
-------
http://<ip address>/test.php
-------

but no luck. I think that access rights are correctly set.

Please can you help me with it?

TIA,
Pavel

What error are you getting?
Whats in the error log?
You don't have any silly firewalls installed?

It is HTTP 404 - file not found.
Some firewall is installed, but I am accessing within our company network,
so I don't think it will block me to access that.
I think that problem is simply with wrong address. Like on the local machine
you can't type "C:\www\test.php" but "http://localhost/test.php". There must
be something like "http://foreign_machine/test.php". I guess.....

Hi Pavel,

Most likely your IIS is not configured to listen on the machine's IP address
but only on localhost (127.0.0.1). Don't know exactly how to do it but as
far as I can remember you have entries for websites somewhere in your IIS
Manager, e.g. "Default Web Site", which probably points to localhost.
Either change that or create another entry for the machine's IP.

OK, thanks for the tip - I'll check it out.
Don't you know, how is access from the workstation then? http://<ip_of
_the_server>/test.php ?

On the local machine it should work both.
