Hi,
I don't know if this is a little out of scope for this forum - but it is a situation created solely to install 3CX.
I have been searching for a way to have multiple instances of PHP on a windows 2003 server - The reason for this is I already run IIS with PHP as the primary purpose of the box is a hosting platform. There is plenty of spare capcity available in terms of memory, processing time, and bandwidth - so It's ideal to double up as a VoIP PBX...
The problem is after installing 3CX it's web admin just won't start. The reason ? The original PHP is interfering with it (If you want to get technical, I think the reason is that the existing PHP Directory is in the PATH environment variable and 3CX's PHP is picking up the php5ts.dll from the existing install - which has a different module API and cannot load the extensions - see attached apache error log. Without the IIS PHP base directory being in the PATH environment variable, 3CX's PHP works fine - but the webserver doesn't !).
My original desire was to share the same PHP install, but I am informed this is not possible. Failing that, I would be ok with having two instances of PHP, despite the lack of elegance - but I can't figure out how to get it going. From everything I've read, PHP isn't meant to be doubled up and I can't find a guide anywhere on how to do it so my gut feeling is that i'm sort of dabbling with the dark arts a bit by having two installs - but instruction given so far on this forum is firmly in favor of multiple installs.
So, my question in summary, is how do I get a working PHP + IIS with 3CX PHP + 3CX Apache on the same windows server 2003 box ?

It can be shown that the wrong core version of php is being loaded (the php5ts.dll from my existing, newer version of PHP - check the module API numbers), though the correct php.ini must be being used as the correct modules are being loaded.
