Run PHP on Windows IIS6

Arun Prasath

Hi all,

Just i want to run PHP on Windows server 2003 machine with IIS6, not with Apache or any other webservers.

I've installed PHP from the msi 'php-5.3.27-nts-Win32-VC9-x86'. And installed FastCGI also.

Created a php file with phpinfo() function in it.When i hosted the page in IIS, it says page not found error.

I've been hosting ASP sites through that IIS already. When it comes to PHP it's not working. What am i missing in the above steps???

Help me guys!!!

Hi CJ thanks,

     I got the solution for this problem by configuring the path of php-cgi.exe in the IIS's 'Default Websites'.

     Now i'm on the my 2nd problem which is, i'm trying to connect to a remote Oracle database server. You also gave some suggestions. Let me look at that..

Some comments:

- Most people use PHP on Linux for a variety of reasons, including performance, stability and ease of customization/installation.

- PHP 5.3 is very old. Can you use a newer version? (Note: the MSI installer isn't supplied in new versions. An unzip is just as good)

- If you are trying to install OCI8 with IIS, see https://blogs.oracle.com/opal/entry/how_to_use_iis_php_and_oracle
