Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2013-03-25 21:45:41] mail+php at requinix dot net 5.3 doesn't have a .msi installer... apparently... yet?... just the .zips, so the "Windows Installer" method won't work. There's a page specifically for installing on IIS 7. Have you seen that yet? http://www.php.net/manual/en/install.windows.iis7.php 1. Enable FastCGI support* 2. Follow the "Manual Installation Steps" 3. Create a handler for PHP* 4. Fiddle with permissions and other settings (IIS <3) * Those are the two big steps you (seem to be) missing. Without those you just have a stock IIS installation. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2013-03-22 23:00:46] jeffjohnson at cox dot net Description: ------------ --- From manual page: http://www.php.net/install.windows.installer.msi --- I've attempted to follow both the "Normal Install" and the "Manual Installation Steps". As yet phpinfo() yields no output. In fact when it is in a *.php file, IE can't even find/open it. Seems like something is missing in doc. Background: (1) I chose the recommended download for Windows 7, the VC9 x86 Non Thread Safe (2013-Mar-15 04:08:07). (2) I'm trying to install with IIS and FastCGI (3) IIS does serve general *.htm sites Specific issues: (A) Under "Normal Install" instructions, there is a place where I am to "Run the MSI installer and follow the instructions provided by the installation wizard". There is no obvious way to run it. Using, Start - Run - msiexec.exe simply presents a help screen. No *.msi file appears to be provided with the download = stuck. (B) Using "Manual Installation", I made the changes in "Test Script", and also followed all the directions for configuration. Since I haven't figured this out yet, I have no suggestions on how to fix.
