+ PHP for Windows comes in two flavours - a CGI executable (php-cgi.exe),
and several SAPI modules (for exapmle php5isapi.dll). The latter form
is new to PHP, and provides significantly improved performance and
some new functionality. However, please note that the SAPI modules
will need those as well. To make sure that the dlls can be found, you can
either copy them to the system directory (e.g. winnt/system32 or
windows/system) or you can make sure that they live in the same directory
- as the main php executable or dll your web server will use (e.g. php.exe,
+ as the main php executable or dll your web server will use (e.g. php-cgi.exe,
php5apache.dll).

There are two ways to set up PHP to work with Apache 1.3.x
- on Windows. One is to use the CGI binary (php.exe),
+ on Windows. One is to use the CGI binary (php-cgi.exe),
the other is to use the Apache module dll. In either case
you need to stop the Apache server, and edit your
httpd.conf or srm.conf to configure Apache to work with PHP.
ScriptAlias /php/ "c:/php/"
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
- Action application/x-httpd-php "/php/php.exe"
+ Action application/x-httpd-php "/php/php-cgi.exe"

- php.exe in the value data field.
- ex: c:\php\php.exe
+ php-cgi.exe in the value data field.
+ ex: c:\php\php-cgi.exe
Repeat these steps for each extension you wish to associate
with PHP scripts.
New->Key, name it command.
Highlight the new key 'command' and in the
right side pane, double click the "default value" and enter
- the path to php.exe ex: c:\php\php.exe -q %1
+ the path to php-cgi.exe ex: c:\php\php-cgi.exe -q %1
(don't forget the '%1').
Exit Regedit.
If using PWS on Windows, reboot to reload the registry.
To install PHP on an NT/2000/XP Server running IIS 4 or newer,
follow these instructions. You have two options to set up
- PHP, using the CGI binary (php.exe) or with the ISAPI module.
+ PHP, using the CGI binary (php-cgi.exe) or with the ISAPI module.
In either case, you need to start the Microsoft Management
Console (may appear as 'Internet Services Manager', either
and then enter the App Mappings tab.
Click Add, and in the Executable box, type:
- c:\php\php.exe (assuming that you have unzipped PHP in c:\php\).
+ c:\php\php-cgi.exe (assuming that you have unzipped PHP in c:\php\).
In the Extension box, type the file name extension you want
associated with PHP scripts. Leave 'Method exclusions'
Set up the appropriate security. (This is done in Internet
Service Manager), and if your NT Server uses NTFS file system,
add execute rights for I_USR_ to the directory that contains
- php.exe
+ php-cgi.exe
!NOTE!: Since 4.1.2, the php.ini setting cgi.force_redirect defaults to '1'
which effectively prevents the cgi from working within IIS. You need to set
tray and select 'Properties'
Step 3: Click on 'Web Server Global Settings'
Step 4: On the 'External' tab, enter:
- virtual = .php | actual = c:\path-to-php-dir\php.exe
+ virtual = .php | actual = c:\path-to-php-dir\php-cgi.exe
and use the Add button.
Step 5: On the Mime tab, enter:
virtual = wwwserver/stdcgi | actual = .php
Edit the Server Properties and select the tab "Mapping".
From the List select "Associations" and enter the desired

+ extension (".php") and the path to the CGI exe (ex. c:\php\php-cgi.exe)
or the ISAPI dll file (ex. c:\php\php5isapi.dll).
Select "Content Types" add the same extension ".php"
into the field File extensions (.xxx).
In Filter command or script put the path and name
- of your php executable i.e. c:\php\php.exe.
+ of your php executable i.e. c:\php\php-cgi.exe.
Press the 'Save' icon.
Something went wrong when the server tried to run PHP. To get to see a
sensible error message, from the command line, change to the directory
- containing php.exe and run "php.exe -i" (without quotes).
+ containing php-cgi.exe and run "php-cgi.exe -i" (without quotes).
If php has any problems running, then a suitable error message will be displayed
which will give you a clue as to what needs to be done next.

Once php is working at the command line, try accessing the php script via the browser again.
If it still fails then it could be one of the following:
- file permissions on your php script, php.exe, php5ts.dll, php.ini or any php
+ file permissions on your php script, php-cgi.exe, php5ts.dll, php.ini or any php

them. For IIS, IUSR_<machinename> needs at least read access.
