IIS7 and Php -vista Ultimate

[Utech22]

I have installed php5.x.x to work with IIS7
I am using dreamweaver 8 to run a simple php page.
I cannot view the page. (just a

Echo "Hello World"; 

page)

How do I configure IIS7 and Php?

[redbwoy]

I have 2 questions?

1) Are you able to access other pages through your localhost?

2) Did you install php 5.x.x.x "CGI only" and not the "API"

[Utech22]

Answers
1) localhost is accessibile
2) php 5.2.3 IIS CGI

HTTP Error 404.3 - Not Found

I am going to try add php extension in MIME with MIME Type = application/octet-stream
but let I google it first.

A couple of months ago, I wrote a quick and dirty entry on how to install PHP on IIS7. The main purpose of that entry was to explain the details of what was going on as well as cookie-cutter instructions of one way to successfully install PHP on IIS7.

Well, the responses that I have received from that blog entry made me realize that I need to provide something a little more shrink-wapped which does a few more things other than just run the bare minimum... because I was seeing way too many broken custom modifications coming from mistaken assumptions about PHP or IIS7.

Here it is, V2. Just copy/paste the following into a .bat file, right-click run it as elevated Administrator on Vista, and follow the prompted instructions. You should have PHP extracted into a directory of your choice before-hand (I favor and default to %SYSTEMDRIVE%\Inetpub\PHP for many aforementioned reasons; in my examples, I chose "C:\Program Files\P H P" to show it working with long pathnames).

The batch script:

* Works with PHP installed wherever, including pathnames with spaces. Just tell it where you installed PHP (sans double quotes and trailing backslash)
* Gives choice of whether to use the CGI or ISAPI version of PHP. You do have to give the correct binary name (php5isapi.dll or php-cgi.exe, assuming PHP5), but there are checks for that
* Gives warnings and errors if the directory/file does not exist, mismatched binary types, and additional steps you need to do to have a minimally functioning PHP

Now, I am no PHP expert, so I can only give instructions for how to get PHP configured and running on IIS7. Questions about all other PHP-related features (like PHP extensions, integration with mySQL, etc) and how to get them working really belong on a PHP support forum.

Sample Execution Results:

* Setting up PHP5 installed at "C:\Program Files\P H P", ISAPI version. Notice the defaults and verification of provided inputs.

I saw this blog but it was a bit confusing. >> http://blogs.msdn.com/david.wang/arc...S7_Part_2.aspx

I always use CGI, which is better API or CGI? and why?

Is there a simplier way to do this?

I was wondering if the php MIME Type is ' application/octet-stream '

A MIME attachment with the content type "application/octet-stream" is a binary file. Typically, it will be an application or a document that must be opened in an application, such as a spreadsheet or word processor. If the attachment has a filename extension associated with it, you may be able to tell what kind of file it is. A .exe extension, for example, indicates it is a Windows or DOS program (executable), while a file ending in .doc is probably meant to be opened in Microsoft Word.

No matter what kind of file it is, an application/octet-stream attachment is rarely viewable in an email, Usenet, or World Wide Web program. If you are using a text-based client, such as Pine, trn, or Lynx, save the attachment to your account, then transfer it to your personal computer. If you are using a workstation-based client, such as Eudora or Outlook, the application should be able to extract and download the attachment automatically. You must then open the attachment in the appropriate application to view its contents.

Note: In addition to the generic application/octet-stream content type, you will also encounter attachments that have different sub-types (e.g., application/postscript, application/x-macbinary, and application-msword). They are similar to application/octet-stream, but apply to specific kinds of files.

APIs are proprietary programming interfaces supported by particular
platforms. By using an API, you lose all portability. If you know
your application will only ever run on one platform (OS and HTTPD),
and it has a suitable API, go ahead and use it. Otherwise stick to CGI.
