Running php on 2008 server

hi,
How do I correctly setup php on windows 2008 server

I get a “An unknown FastCGI error occured” message

Is there a simple guide on what to check, like variables and settings on 2008 server to make sure this is setup correctly

Many many thanks

Hi

Thank you for your very supportive Link

much appreciated :slight_smile:

I did a search on my system windows Server 2008 and I could not locate
php-cgi.exe which the example says is needed for the module mapping. The only reference I can find is to a fast CGI DLL iisfcgi.add in the Inetsrv foldeer under System32 folder

Can you advise

many thanks

Where have you installed PHP at?

From the Forum link you sent me to, I am on the step below in Red in IIS, I need to, although optional, add in the path to the php-cgi.exe (edit Module Mapping)

Below is from the Link in this forum - I copied and pasted
Adding PHP Support

Adding PHP is rather easy, while in the global settings:
Open Handler Mappings
On the right pane, select “Add Module Mapping…”
Following this guide use these options:
Request path: *.php
Module: FastCgiModule
Executable: W:\workspace\environment\language\php\5.3.0\php-cgi.exe
Name: PHP 5.3 FastCGI
Click OK
