[PHP-INSTALL] php and iis 7

[Harrison, Roberto]

I have an html page (iisstart.htm) which calls a php program running successfully with MySQL from the server where it is installed. I simply launch the iisstart.htm file by double clicking on it as I am logged into the server. It all works exactly the way I want it to locally.

I have gone through the following steps in enabling PHP processing on this server:

1. In the "Actions" pane click "Add Module Mapping...";

1. In the "Add Module Mapping" dialog enter the following:

* Request path: *.php
* Module: FastCgiModule
* Executable: C:\[Path to PHP installation]\php-cgi.exe
* Name: PHP_via_FastCGI

1. Click "Request Restrictions" button and then configure the mapping to invoke handler only if request is mapped to a file or a folder;

1. Click OK on all the dialogs to save the configuration.

This all seems to be properly setup. If I go to another machine and type in the IP address of this server, the main iisstart.htm file gets displayed as I expect it to. But if I click on the submit button on this page running through a browser, which calls a php file, I get an error saying:

Unable to connect
Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at localhost.
The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few
moments.
If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network
connection.
If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure
that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.

The URL at this point is

http://localhost/DisplayMCWPubs.php

which is the php file that runs fine from within the server (the php file executes some sql and displays the results on the webpage).

I have tried duplicating the security settings I find for the iisstart.htm file for the DisplayMCWPubs.php file, but that doesn't do anything.

What am I doing wrong? Anyone?

Check your php script, in the form action part, it should not contain
anything like "localhost".
When you access it from a remote computer, it's no longer localhost.

Use the IP address of the server instead of "localhost"?
And if it has SSL bound, use the domain name?
I think you also have to bind a/the IP address under "Bindings".

If you are having problems with IIS loading PHP scripts, try using this
to enable it:

http://phpmanager.codeplex.com/

That worked for me when IIS was having problems loading PHP.
