Great Tutorial, but I had one issue (PLEASE ADD THIS TO THE TUTORIAL SO OTHERS DON’T HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM!)

IIS wouldn’t allow me to add the PHP Script Map until I enabled ISAPI Extensions and ISAPI Filters (In the Server Manager, from part 1).

Thanks!

ok i have gone through your tutorial 3 times.

everything is as you explain it but the test at the end fails.

here is the message.

Server Error in Application “DEFAULT WEB SITE”

ERROR SUMMARY
HTTP Error 404.0 – Not Found
The resource you are looking for has been removed, had its name changed, or is temporarily unavailable.

Detailed information
Module IIS Web Core
Notification MapRequestHandler
Handler StaticFile
Error Code 0×80070002
Requested URL http://winsrvr:80/phpinfo.php:
Physical Path C:\inetpub\wwwroot\phpinfo.php:
Logon Method Anonymous
Logon User Anonymous

Most likely causes:
•The directory or file specified does not exist on the Web server.
•The URL contains a typographical error.
•A custom filter or module, such as URLScan, restricts access to the file.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Cheers,
Todd.

Installed Php 5 on IIS7 and was unable to create a new key. The system did’nt let me create a the key even though i’m the administrator. skipped the step and got ther error msg “Http error 404.17 – not found.Most likely causes “the request matched a wildcard mime map. The request is mapped to the static file handler. If there were different pre-condions, the request will map to a different handler”. Pls help

Thanks

great write! Easy to follow love the screenshots. You should do one for fastcgi. I’ve found it more stable and better performance.

This is the most clear description of the install I have seen yet… but I can’t get it to work I have set up IIS as you did in the previous post and configured PHP and my IIS data. I am getting a 404.3 Error : “The page you are requesting cannot be served because of the extension configuration. If the page is a script, add a handler. If the file should be downloaded, add a MIME map.”

I don’t understand because I have the ISAPI mapping and the dll is present. Is there any other configurations I can check?

I had some weird problems for weeks now trying to solve the No input file specified error.
And all I found on the web couldn’t help me.
As I used to recall similair strange errors with a IIS6/W2K3/PHP5/MySQL5.x, I got back to the basics.
And as always, it is the compatibility between extensions from PHP versus MySQL.

One which succesfully works: PHP 5.2.9-1 & MySQL 5.0.77
Any other combination of higher versions of MySQL will definately give you trouble.

As for what I tried in any order:
- Switched of EXIF extension as it has caused trouble
- Never used the doc_root = , so was already empty/disabled also
- Had minor succes moving PHP from C:\Program Files\PHP to C:\PHP
- Tried other PHP versions versus MySQL 5.1
- Multi host environment weirdo: Site 1 works, Site 2 doesn’t especially with pages using MySQL

So finally, back to one which succesfully works: PHP 5.2.9-1 & MySQL 5.0.77

In the end all that was causing the issue is that by default a new install of Windows 2008 Server hides known file extensions by default. So when I installed PHP, right clicked in the webroot and selected new text document and saved as phpinfo.php the file was actually saved as phpinfo.php.txt. Simple as it is I can tell you this little gem had me stumped, and then a little red faced when I found the problem.

So should you find yourself facing the same dreaded “No input specified” error, take a moment and ensure that you have cleared the “Hide file extensions for known file types” tick box. This can be done from the Views tab under the Folder Options menu item from in the Tools menu in Windows Explorer.
