note 56583 added to install.windows.iis

"Click on the 'Configuration' button, and choose the Application Mappings tab. Click Add and set the Executable path to the appropriate CGI file. An example PHP 5 value is: C:\php\php-cgi.exe Supply .php as the extension. Leave 'Method exclusions' blank, and check the 'Script engine' checkbox. Now, click OK a few times." When installing PHP 5 on IIS 6.0 and Windows 2003 I encountered problems with this instruction. I believe the root cause is that IIS requires the "scripts and executables" execute permission to be selected if the script engine has a .exe extension. However, there may have been additional problems. Even when selecting the "scripts and executables" execute permission I continually received HTTP Header errors. The resolution was to follow the instructions for use of php5isapi.dll. The .dll extension can be run with the "scripts only" execute permission. Also remember IIS 6.0 requires that you identify Web Extensions and Allow execution of those extensions. ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/install.windows.iis.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+56583 Delete: added to the manual -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+56583&report=yes&reason=added+to+the+manual Delete: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+56583&report=yes&reason=bad+code Delete: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+56583&report=yes&reason=spam Delete: useless -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+56583&report=yes&reason=useless Delete: non-english -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+56583&report=yes&reason=non-english Delete: other reasons -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+56583&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+56583&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
