I followed the instructions at the URL below and PHP works fine.

What is the best way to get php working on IIS 7.5? Every dang time I try to set up a IIS webserver for php it is like pulling teeth to get it to work for some reason. All the sets of instructions and such I have read seem extremely clear and simple and make it sound like a no brainer to get it going.however it never seems to work! The one in particular I am trying to set up right now I used these instructions. http://learn.iis.net/page.aspx/246/using-fastcgi-to-host-php-applications-on -iis-7/ using FastCGI. As far as I know the instructions for IIS7 are the same on 7.5. I just went in on the server to try something and came across something that mentioned that on a x64 system you need to configure app pools ot run in x86 mode (since PHP is x86.... couldnt seem to find a x64 version)... so thinking... AHAA!! I tried it but it was much less exciting than I expected because it still didnt work. In IIS Mangler, I mean...Manager... I highligted app pools and in the actions pane clicked set application pool defaults, set the enable 32 bit setting to true....for good measure I even set this on each individual app pool also. No dice. I cant believe this is so difficult...or I am so stupid to not be able to easily get this seemingly simple thing off the ground! Does anyone have any ideas?? I am at a loss! here is the error I am getting relating to FastCGI... HTTP Error 500.0 - Internal Server Error C:\PHP\php-cgi.exe - The FastCGI process exited unexpectedly Module FastCgiModule Notification ExecuteRequestHandler Handler PHP via FastCGI Error Code 0x000000ff Requested URL http://localhost:80/test.php Physical Path C:\inetpub\wwwroot\test.php Logon Method Anonymous Logon User Anonymous Ehren J.
