    FastCGI, php & IIS on WinXP - file not found Virtual Directories issue

    Reply Contact

     I have a number of sites (virtual directories) set up in IIS5 on Win XP Pro (with SP3). Until I installed FastCGI, they all worked fine - no problems. Now, as long as I don't request a .php page, they work fine, if I request a .php page, I get a HTTP 404 - file not found error.

    After trying Process Monitor, I discovered that the .php pages start in the correct directory as specified in IIS, but end up in the default directory (C:/inetpub/wwwroot/<sitename>).

     What needs to happen to make FastCGI behave? (If I move my site to a folder in the default directory, it all works fine, but that's not what I want to do

    Any ideas?

    Hi,

    Could you create and request  a phpinfo.php page in your site that contains "<?php phpinfo(); ?>" to test ?

     If you still encounter error, please send the full error message. Make sure the Show friendly HTTP error message is disabled.

    If the phpinfo.php page works well ,then you should check the PHP code. This issue is probably caused by the relative path or SERVER["DOCUMENT_ROOT"] variable in the page.

    Hi,

    Try commenting out the doc_root value in your php.ini file. It sounds like all your PHP applications are inheriting this value. This is a well-documented 'gotcha' with PHP on IIS :

    Hi Leo Tang,

    Thanks for your reply. Show friendly error message is disabled.

    phpinfo.php from C:/inetpup/wwwroot is ok, if I put it [phpinfo.php] into the directory for the website I'm having problems with, it doesn't work. I get "No input file specified." in Firefox & IE8.


    Also, there is no SERVER["DOCUMENT_ROOT"] variable anywhere in the php pages for the site.

     Regards,

     Paul

    Hi Paul,

    Thanks for your reply.

    The doc_root is already commented out - in php.ini, but FastCGI doesn't use that .ini - it uses php-cgi-fcgi.ini - commented it out in php-cgi-fcgi.ini & now it works.

     Thanks again,

    Paul
