Configuring PHP for IIS

[alexkeel79]

Hello,

I just set up IIS on my PC in order to do web development before pushing the hosting service. Everything went fine until I tried to set up PHP. I think the problem is coming from the .ini file but I could be wrong. See steps below:

1. Extracted files from zip file into directory c:\php
2. Renamed the file php.ini-recommended php.ini
3. I changed the following lines in the php.ini file
; cgi.force_redirect = 1 -> cgi.force_redirect = 0
; cgi.redirect_status_env = ; -> cgi.redirect_status_env = ENV_VAR_NAME

My initial thought is that I should not have removed the semicolons but I really have no idea. Any thoughts?

Thanks...

Hi,

If you want a REALLY easy way to set up a local webserver, you can download and install XAMPP.

it's *very* easy!

if i were you...i would install apache...almost no hosting service runs IIS with PHP. if you install apache, it will be very similar as if you were running it on the hosting services machine.

yes, the XAMPP includes Apache, PHP and mySQL.
It only requires unpacking and running of a few files...

If it's for testing purposes only, you dont need to edit conf files, etc.
