install PHP on IIS

January 9th, 2009 Leave a comment Go to comments
  • Download php from http://www.php.net/downloads.php
  • Unzip php directory to root of your C: drive
  • from the PHP directory copy the php.ini-reccommended to C:windows direcotry and rename it to php.ini
  • Uncomment the windows include path under “Paths and Direcotries” ( Line 515 on current build )

So it reads:

include_path = ".;c:/php/includes"
  • set cgi.force_redirect to 1 this is done by uncommenting the existing line ( Line 540 on current build )
    • So it reads:
cgi.force_redirect = 1
note: this force_redirect looks to be depreciated
  • Enable the PHP Ldap module this is done by uncommenting the extension under the “Windows Extensions” ( Line 650 on current build)
    • So it Reads:
extension=php_ldap.dll
  • Enable the PHP mcrypt module this is done by uncommenting the extension under the “Windows Extensions” ( Line 651 on current build)
    • So it Reads:
extension=php_mcrypt.dll
  • Add the PHP directory to the windows path
    • right click My Computer on the server
    • Click the Advanced tab
    • Select PATH from the system variables section
    • Click Edit and add:
C:php;

note: this last point requires a server reboot which will be done in the next step.
