Installing PHP on IIS7 using FastCGI

Or, more precisely, *trying* to install it. The "Previously" part of my tale can be found here: forums.iis.net/t/1147538.aspx in a post on the IIS.NET forums. To make a long and circumstantial story short, I currently have installed: - IIS7 - PHP 5.2.5, non-thread-safe version - the FastCGI technical preview When I was looking at these instructions blogs.iis.net/bills/archive/2007/05/19/how-to-install-fastcgi-and-php-on-iis7-beta-3-video.aspx I noticed that everything Bills mentioned looks like what I have, except in applicationhost.config under

    <location path="Default Web Site">
       <system.webServer>

I also have:

           <handlers accessPolicy="Script, Execute, Read">
               <remove name="PHP" />
               <add name="PHP" path="*.php" verb="*" type=""

modules="IsapiModule" scriptProcessor="C:\php\php5isapi.dll" resourceType="File" requireAccess="Script" preCondition="" />

           </handlers>

which Bills doesn't mention. So I backed IIS and this file up, and then deleted those lines, in the spirit of scientific enquiry and hitting stuff until it works. Now: 1. Static .php pages appear just fine -- that is, an "index.php" page with only HTML, no actual PHP scripting. 2. I don't get an error message when I run phpinfo() or other actively-scripted pages -- but I don't see anything else, either. It's all a blank. I assume that the problem is the lack of a PHP handler with "Execute", but I have no idea what to call it or where to put it. MEC Doctor Science, MA doctorscience dot blogspot dot com
