  Stuck with FastCGI on IIS6, W2k3 Server x64 R2 native and PHP 5.3.0 Reply Contact Hi, I really don't have anything left to try, perhaps someone here can give me more insight. Yesterday I installed PHP x64 5.3.0 as CGI-Application; long story short, it works perfectly. I can even run OWA 2007 on the same IIS site without any trouble. Only with fastCGI I cannot get eny further. I downloaded the X64 version from  this site, installed it via double-click and had no errors there. DLL version is 6.1.0036.1, IIS is 6.0. When checking the webservice extensions, FastCGI is allowed and does have $windir/system32/inetsrv/fcgiext.dll as the only necessary file in it. I created an fcgiext.ini manually in the same directory as above (the fcgiext config script for cscript was not installed with fastcgi somehow) and put exactly five lines in it: [Types] php=PHP [PHP] ExePath=C:\PHP\php-cgi.exe Access ist granted to Everyone with Full Access (!) I got the Tool Process Monitor to view any file action that might occur I configured a script mapping for Default Site pointing to the above DLL for the extension ".php" and all verbs. Both checkboxes in that dialogue are ticked as well Then I reset IIS via iisreset.exe Now when browsing to a PHP file, it will always throw a fastcgi error: Could not find entry for "php" on site 1 in [Types] section. Error Number: 1413 (0x80070585). Error Description: invalid index.  whereas the ini file looks as stated above. and most confusing of all, when viewing the process monitor file activity log it would look like this: ###############

  Re: Stuck with FastCGI on IIS6, W2k3 Server x64 R2 native and PHP 5.3.0 Reply Contact Only reason I can think of is that you are working in syswow64\inetsrv folder but the worker process is reading from system32\inetsrv folder. Reason you didn't find the fcgiconfig.js in the inetsrv folder is also possible because of the above. procmon shows fcgiext.ini filesize as 7612 bytes also indicates that its reading fcgiext.ini file which comes with the setup and not the file you created with just 5 lines.

  Re: Stuck with FastCGI on IIS6, W2k3 Server x64 R2 native and PHP 5.3.0 Reply Contact Hi thanks for your reply. Good point, but: When I create or delete the file in /system32/inetsrv, my action will be mirrored instantaneously  to the syswow64/inetsrv folder. I create the file, there is one in syswow64; I edit it, same content in both folders. I searched for fcgiext.ini, there were only two files; one in syswow/... and one in system32/... both around ~70 Bytes. sooo.... anything else I might try? or perhaps there is another fastcgi extension for iis? Thanks

  Re: Stuck with FastCGI on IIS6, W2k3 Server x64 R2 native and PHP 5.3.0 Reply Contact Ok, I tried again with process monitor. I found out that when I "notepad" the /system32/inetsrv/fcgiext.ini file, procmon would give a file path of "/sysWOW64/inetsrv/fcgiext.ini"?!?! Then I changed the webservice externsion and the script mapping to /syswow64/* but now there is only a plain text error "%1 is not a valid 32bit application", which somehow makes sense, since my IIS is definitely not running in 32bit mode. Is there any switch oder method or something how I get access to the system32/inetsrv folder instead of the syswow64 folder? Or am I missing something totally different? Thanks...

  SOLVED: Stuck with FastCGI on IIS6, W2k3 Server x64 R2 native and PHP 5.3.0 Reply Contact  Oh for HEAVENS SAKE! This is a so stupid, banal thing I almost could cry. When creating the textfile, I was of course creating it with total commander and flo's notepad2. but those are win32 applications and according to MS then folder redirection to syswow64 takes place automatically. I downloaded an x64 text editor and used its "open file" function, and voila: I found a preconfigured fcgiext.ini, the config.js and so on.  After editing the correct ini file now everything rox =) Thanks m8, I'd have been searching for days if it weren't for your suggestion.
