[PHP-INSTALL] HTTP 403.1 error Execute Access Forbidden on IIS 5.1

[Pat Johnston]

After installing PHP 5.2.12 on Windows XP and configuring, the test
phpinfo page fails to execute on IIS 5.1, giving an HTTP 403.1 error -
Forbidden: Execute Access Forbidden
Internet Information Services

The test web page is under the Inetpub/wwwroot/PHP directory and has
execute access. The php-cgi.exe also has execute access. I've used .msi
installers, the Microsoft .wpi installer, and have manually installed
PHP without success.

I've used PHP on Linux for years, but now I NEED to get it running on
Windows XP. I've spent many hours trying to get it working, giving
execute permission to everything I can think of - no luck. Does anyone
have a clue what might be going on or what I might try next?

PHP runs fine from the command line but only gives the 403.1 error when
running under IIS.

Hi Pat.

Is there a specific requirement to run IIS?

If not, Maybe you can run Apache instead of IIS on Windows?

Here's two ready to install Apache on Windows alternatives:

WAMP also has a nice helpfull forum:
