Note Submitter: Uday Kari ---- First I got a HTTP 405 error, resolving which I got an HTTP 404 error...read on for how this was fixed... Environment: PHP 5.2.4, IIS 6.0 ISAPI, Windows Server 2003. Installation: Simply downloaded the PHP 5.2.4 installer [22,002Kb] - 30 August 2007 and ran it doing next, next until Finish. To get rid of 405 error, ensure that your php directory allows scripts. Start->Control Panel->Administrative Tools->Internet Information Services-> (select website, navigate to directory with your php and right-click your directory) -> Properties -> Directory TAB -> Change Execute Permissions from "None" to "Scripts" (to allow PHP). To get rid of 404 error, ensure that your executable mapping for the .php extension is properly coded. Start->Control Panel->Administrative Tools->Internet Information Services-> (select web site) ->Properties->Home Directory->Configuration->Mapping and then change the Executable Path for .php files from C:\Program~\PHP\php5is~1.DLL (or whatever crazy path) to "C:\Program Files\PHP\php5isapi.dll" (IMPORTANT: the quotes from c:\ to end of dll are important since the default install location, Program Files, has a space...in my youth I would yell "Stupid Microsoft"...but now I would more maturely just note that there is an inconsistency with the way that Paths are defined...in definingenvironment variables, for instance, such spaces are OK...).
