Re: php and iis 7

If you are having problems with IIS loading PHP scripts, try using this to enable it: http://phpmanager.codeplex.com/ That worked for me when IIS was having problems loading PHP. Signature

I have an html page (iisstart.htm) which calls a php program running successfully with MySQL from the server where it is installed. I simply launch the iisstart.htm file by double clicking on it as I am logged into the server. It all works exactly the way I want it to locally. I have gone through the following steps in enabling PHP processing on this server: 1. In the "Actions" pane click "Add Module Mapping..."; 1. In the "Add Module Mapping" dialog enter the following:

      *   Request path: *.php
      *   Module: FastCgiModule
      *   Executable: C:\[Path to PHP installation]\php-cgi.exe
      *   Name: PHP_via_FastCGI

1. Click "Request Restrictions" button and then configure the mapping to invoke handler only if request is mapped to a file or a folder; 1. Click OK on all the dialogs to save the configuration. This all seems to be properly setup. If I go to another machine and type in the IP address of this server, the main iisstart.htm file gets displayed as I expect it to. But if I click on the submit button on this page running through a browser, which calls a php file, I get an error saying: Unable to connect

           Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at localhost.

The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few

     moments.

If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network

     connection.

If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure

     that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.

The URL at this point is http://localhost/DisplayMCWPubs.php which is the php file that runs fine from within the server (the php file executes some sql and displays the results on the webpage). I have tried duplicating the security settings I find for the iisstart.htm file for the DisplayMCWPubs.php file, but that doesn't do anything. What am I doing wrong? Anyone?
