This depends on what OS you are using... > control panel > administrative tools > computer management > service and applications > internet information service ...or... at the command prompt enter: compmgmt.msc /s If you are using a station type/version PC then you would/might have to install iis, windows servers/profession and ultima stations have iis pre-installed. Yes, php-cgi is a version of the past. When I first installed php the cgi version was full of security holes...but things may have changed in ten years. An aside: when you get to computer management section check your events viewer and all its section. You will be able to spot if there is any weird things going on with your computer or loose ends to clean. Think of it like cleaning your chimney; you may use a fireplace but it is easy to forget to clean it once a year. ;-) Well, the above is a start but it should be fairly straight forward after that. I have done a number of php installs but not for a while so even I need a refresher course.

But thee instructions say: Go to the IIS Manager. Click on Server. Go to Handler Mappings. Click Add Module Mapping. Enter these values: Request Path : **.php* Module : *FastCgiModule* Executable : *C:\PHP\php-cgi.exe* Name : *PHP* *(It will ask you if you want to allow it to run, click yes.* Click on the Server again. Click on Default Document and add default.php in there. A couple of questions: 1. I've looked in All Programs and in Control Panel but I can't find anything called IIS Manager 2. I was under the impression that CGI was a thing of the past. Do I really want to go there? Maybe it's worth mentioning my goal(s). Ultimately I want IIS to support both Javascript and PHP, and occasionally ASP.NET. I also want to install Apache2 (on, say, port 8080) and have Javascript and PHP working there as well. Can anyone provide some insight here?
