PHP 5.3 on IIS gives 404 error in CGI mode
- by reinier
Slowly losing my mind here. I had PHP 5.2 working fine
(ISAPI) under IIS, but for some extension I needed 5.3. So
no worries, I installed this but it turns out ISAPI is not
supplied anymore.
I followed the install tutorials for fastcgi and ended up
with a 500 internal server error for every PHP page served.
So my current situation is:
I have fastcgi removed.
In my websites I have added PHP (head, get, post) and routed
them to c:\php\php-cgi.exe.
Result: every PHP page I try (even the ones with just text)
gives 404 not found error. Any HTML file I put in the same
folder, serves without a hitch.
Who can help me please... How hard can something like this
be right? For me apparently very hard.
Extra information:
ran the installer as suggested below. Set it to use fastcgi.
my fcgiext.ini file looks like this now:
[types]
php=c:\php\php-cgi.exe
[c:\php\php-cgi.exe]
exepath=c:\php\php-cgi.exe
from the command-line a 3 line PHP file with just phpinfo(); works fine
from the server the same PHP file with just phpinfo(); results in the internal server 500 error.
from the server a PHP file with just text works fine
when changing the document types in IIS management console and point the PHP extension directly to c:\php\php-cgi.exe results in 404 for every PHP file
the php.ini is the php.ini.production file which came in the distribution. No edits were made.
Setting the IIS PHP handler directly to PHP (not via
fastcgi) c:\php\php-cgi.exe results in the following:
display a PHP page with only text....works fine
display a page with only phpinfo(); results in 404 not found
