How to Install PHP 5.3 FastCGI on Windows 2008 IIS 7 / 7.5

Category: — Bil@l @ 13:48

I have tried recently to install PHP 5.3.6 over IIS 7.5 running on a machine of Windows Server 2008 R2. While checking out the instructions on how to properly do that, I passed by those two articles that I would like to share with you, in case you are in the same position of installing PHP over IIS 7 or 7.5:

 

  • How to Install PHP 5.3 FastCGI on Windows 2008 IIS 7
  • How to install PHP ISAPI on Windows 2008 IIS7 x64

 

Hope this helps,

Regards

IIS 7.5 - HTTP Error 500.19 - Internal Server Error - The configuration section 'uri' cannot be read because it is missing a section declaration

I was hosting an ASP.NET 4.0 application on IIS 7.5 and using the DefaultAppPool. When I run the application, I receive the error message:

IIS 7.5 - Http Error 500.19 - Internal Server Error - The configuration section 'uri' cannot be read because it is missing a section declaration

 

Don't be shocked :) The solution appeared to be as simple as changing the Application Pool to ASP.NET v 4.0 and here you go!

 

Remember always to select the right Application Pool whenever you are hosting an ASP.NET 4.0 app!

HTH
