Okay, so I made a note to myself literally on how I correctly installed php to work with IIS7 with WS2008 beta 3...I've now upgraded to Window Server 2008 RC0...and I did the same things...it doesn't work....same problem as initially stated:
QUOTE:
it's showing the download/open prompt...asking what I'd like to use to view the php file
or in IE, it's just taking a looong time and going to the IIS7 Error page (500 Internal Server Error -
The FastCGI process exceeded configured activity timeout)
What I have done includes the following: Install php (win installer provided by php.net), installed it with the IIS ISAPI Module, GD Library, MySQL, MySQLi Extensions, etc, added a copy of php.ini into C:\Windows, Added C:\PHP into PATH, and finally added the php5isapi.dll into IIS as a handler mapping, thus going into the isapi/cgi restrictions, file extensions etc.
