Installation with IIS for Windows

Installing IIS

Internet Information Services (IIS) is built in to Windows. On Windows Server, the IIS role can be added via the Server Manager. The CGI Role Feature needs to be included. On Windows Desktop, IIS has to be added via the Control Panel's Add/Remove Programs. The Microsoft documentation has » detailed instructions for enabling IIS. For development, » IIS/Express can also be used.

Bilginize: The Non-Thread Safe (NTS) version of PHP should be installed when using the FastCGI handler with IIS.

Configuring PHP with IIS

In IIS Manager, Install FastCGI module and add a handler mapping for .php to the path to php-cgi.exe (not php.exe)

The APPCMD command line tool can be used to script IIS configuration.
