Note Submitter: pythonex12 at gmail dot com ---- I used Windows 2003 Server, IIS 6.0, MS SQL Server 2008, and PHP 5.3 along with FastCGI. If, after following the set up step-by-steps, you continually get a FastCGI 500 timeout error check your MS SQL Server PHP driver. MS SQL Server PHP driver 3.0 which was updated on 04/18 requires you have the 2012 MS SQL Server Native Client (v 11). But if you are using MS SQL Server 2008 like I was you only have the 2008 MS SQL Server Native Client (v 10). For whatever reason I could not get the 2012 Native CLient to install on the OS even though it appeared MS's website said it should be able to. So just downgrade to the MS SQL Server PHP driver 2.0. The site says it will be deprecated but at least you can get up and running for a while until you have to upgrade your OS and MS SQL Server. This kinda drove me nuts for a few hours.
