    PHP on IIS 7

    Reply Contact

    Hello to everyone. I am trying to get PHP 5.2.6 to work on IIS 7. I followed all the directions in the article "Using FastCGI to Host PHP Applications on IIS 7.0", located here:  http://learn.iis.net/page.aspx/246/using-fastcgi-to-host-php-applications-on-iis-70/

    I followed all the steps, opened up a command prompt, typed in C:\PHP>php - info and it retured all the dependencies and PHP confituration information...sweet up to this point.

    I continued with the rest of the installation instructions, configured IIS to Handle PHP Requests, created a phpinfo.php page, <?php phpinfo() ; ?>

    I pulled up a browser and try to pull up the phpinfo.php page and get a 500 Internal Server error.

     

    Any suggestions?

    Is there any error description? Try enabling detailed error messages in IIS to get the description of the error.

    Not to hijack this thread, but I'm experiencing similar issues.

    I followed the instructions in this blog: http://learn.iis.net/page.aspx/246/using-fastcgi-to-host-php-applications-on-iis-70/

    I'm running Windows 2008 x64 in a VMware ESXi Virtual Machine.  All network components are working, as I'm able to a) download patches and b) get to this blog to write this post :)

    Directions seemed to be going fine, I got the 5.2.8 version of PHP, installed the IIS7 admin tools for FastCGI administration, etc.  Typed in c:\php\php -info and a whole slew of text scrolled across my machine.  Yay!

    But then, I tried two things: 1) place the phpinfo.php into the c:\windows\inetpub directory, and 2) created a c:\www\phptest directory, placed the phpinfo.php and an index.php (both with the same text), created a virtual directory called phptest

    I tried http://localhost/phpinfo.php  and http://localhost/phptest and http://localhost/phptest/phpinfo.php.

    I ensured that phpinfo.php and index.php were included in all the default documents (even made it first on the list.)

    One thing I noticed, the docs say if you don't see the modules listed (mind you, that's if the website even worked) to edit the applicationHost.config file - I don't have that file in my system32\config... it's in a HISTORY directory...  (it exists on my Windows2003 server in that location, but not Windows 2008)  Is that causing issues?

    And I got error 403.14 - Forbidden

    Module: DirectoryListingModule

    Notification: ExecuteRequestHandler

    Handler: StaticFile

    ErrorCode: 00000000

    (Logon method and user, both Anonymous)

    If I tried http://localhost/phptest/phpinfo.php I got the generic "The webpage cannot be found."

    I tried downloading the x64 bit verion from Fusion (5.2.5)... Same errors

    I had similar experiences with getting PHP to work on Windows 2003 R2 with IIS6.

    PHP from the commandline works - but can't get IIS to get it to work.

    Using things like Filemon (on Win2003 at least) never really revealed where I didn't have permissions.

     

    I'm new to IIS7, so maybe it's a security thing?  Dunno.  It's a pretty vanilla Windows 2008 Server.  Freshly created to get IIS7 and PHP working (with FastCGI)

     

    Any help or directions would be nice.


    Thanks,

    TK

    Hello how are you going?

     Me too, i  had the same problem and like back at the school where i learnt php , never trust what the manual says, they too sometimes forget to tell you simple things, like

    open_basedir = "C:\inetpub\wwwroot"

     

    they dont tell you to put in the  "" quotation marks!!!i got a 500 error until i guessed the resolution... try that, its a simple solution, and also check any other directory listings in your php.ini file for pointing to folder locations.. that they have a quotes
