Welcome to Xerver Help Online!


I'm using PHP 5 and I can't run my scripts.

PHP 5 uses "php-cgi" (php-cgi.exe) to run php-scripts while older PHP versions (PHP 4 or older) are all using "php" (php.exe) to run php-scripts.
Xerver is by default configured for PHP 4 which uses "php". If you have PHP 5 or plan to install PHP 5, make sure that you in the fifth step in Xerver Setup have "php=php-cgi" in the scroll list (default is "php=php").

In other words:

  1. Start Xerver Setup.
  2. Visit http://localhost:32123/.
  3. Go to step 5.
  4. Select "php=php".
  5. Press "Remove script extension" (and confirm).
  6. Press "Add script extension".
  7. Fill in "php" for "file extension".
  8. Fill in "php-cgi" for "Command to run script with".
  9. Press "Add to list".
  10. Press "Save and Next Step".
  11. You are done.
