Hey,
So I seem to run into this all the time…. 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...
