Manual Installation Steps
Has anybody succeeded in running PHP4 and PHP5 simultaneously using ISAPI? It's possible as CGI since they'll both pick up their php.ini from where the php.exe (or php-cgi.exe) is. But as ISAPI they'll both read the same php.ini file which points both versions to the extension folder of 1 version (eg both PHP4 and PHP5 will use the PHP5 extensions) and thus fail...
Please don't ask my WHY I want both versions, I simply have to. Don't mean to start a discussion here but would like to run both PHP4 and PHP5 as ISAPI module.

Installing PHP 5.2.1 on a Windows 2K3 Server with SP1 and IIS 6.0
- was about to give me the head ache of the year! It is NOT - repeat - NOT possible to use the CGI on a server but ISAPI works perfectly. The documentation mentions both - but cgi/fastcgi is definetely a no go.
Using the PHP installer I used the IIS option, corrected the recommended php.ini file and added the extensions I wanted.
And at this point - too - you have to restart the server to make it work, a restart of only the IIS service is not sufficient.
So mark my words, use ISAPI and don't get any errors!

This one threw me for a loop; you CAN NOT put the PHP folder in Program Files if you're installing on IIS! I guess the space in "Program Files" throws it off, I was getting a "You must enter a valid file path" error when trying to add the PHP mapping manually.

Their is a very small change in my "setting up php help". Here are the corrected text...
Ok, I had a really bad time on installing php on windows xp sp2 using IIS 5.1. Its really annoying for new users. If you are a new user or learner of php, here is the step by step guide for installing and configuring PHP5 using IIS 5.1.
->Extract the php files in any temp folder. Then copy all files from the folder in c:\php5 directory. If it does not exist then create it.
->Now get your windows xp sp2 cd and place it in your cdrom drive. If the cd auto runs then click the option for 'installing additional components'. Then check the components for 'internet information services' and 'network services'. This will install IIS 5.1 on your OS.
->To check wheather IIS is installed properly on your OS, go to your IE browser and in the address bar type, "http://localhost/" w/o quotes. If this opens something i.e., IIS default page and IIS help page then think that iis has been installed properly.
->Now in your php5 directory, rename php.ini-dist as php.ini and open it in the text editor like notepad.exe. Find the line doc_root= and replace it with doc_root = C:\Inetpub\wwwroot. Find extension_dir = and replace it with extension_dir = "C:\php5\ext". Find ;cgi.force_redirect = 1 and replace it with cgi.force_redirect = 0. Save the file and make a copy of this file and back it up and also place a copy of this file viz. 'php.ini' in the windows directory.
->Ok we are done with configuring the PHP. Its time to configure the IIS. Ok, open the IIS gui(start>control panel>performance and maintainance>administrative tools>internet information services(shortcut) or start>run>type"C:\WINDOWS\system32\inetsrv\iis.msc" ofcourse w/o quotes.
->Now a dialog will appear. Right click on "website" on the left window of the dialog. Click properties. An other dialog will appear called website properties.
In the ISAPI filter tab click add. Type filter name as PHP and executable as C:\php5\php5isapi.dll. Click ok once.
In the same dialog, go to "home directory" tab, click "configuration..." click add, type executable as C:\php5\php-cgi.exe and extension as ".php". If not, check the boxes for "script engine" and "check that the file exists". Click ok.
Then make sure that the check box for "chache ISAPI applications" is checked. Now click ok.
Now go to the tab "documents".Click "Add", then for "add the default document page" type "index.php". Then click ok. Move index.php on the top. Also make sure that "enable default document" is checked.
Now click ok till you return to the main dialog. Click the computer icon in the left window of the dialog that is your computer name.
In the menu bar, click "Action>All tasks>Restart IIS...". This is the safe way to restart the server. Thats all for configuring IIS.
->So you are now ready to script in php. Dont forget to save all your web pages in the directory C:\Inetpub\wwwroot.
Open your web page by typing http://localhost/yourpage.php.
->There is little possibility that I've missed something. If you have problems, then please let me know through my email which is "omkaronline@rediffmail.com" or place comments on my guest book in "http://spaces.msn.com/omkarsucks/".

I had a big problem with this on my server, as I was not using IUSR I was using Network Service.
Even more difficult was the fact that it was the DC on a domain which meant I got told that it "is not from a domain listed in the Select Location dialog box, and is therefore not valid.".
The way I got around this was with the following command.
C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator>cacls C:\php /G "NT AUTHORITY\NETWORK SERVICE":F /E /T
Please note that this gives the user NETWORK SERVICE full access to the C:\php directory, but it did solve my problem!

Found this PHP installer for IIS which uses fastcgi and apc;
http://www.iis-aid.com/iis_aid_php_installer
You get to configure your fastcgi and apc settings during installation, and it is meant to work with IIS 5.x and 6. It even setup the web server extension in IIS 6, and seems to be working ok for me so far on a dev box. Only drawbacks are it is only available with PHP 4.4.1 using fastcgi (no isapi yet).

I have sucessfully installed PHP 4 and 5 on every windows server version since 2000 (not NT4) and XP. It is simple but there are a couple of pre-requisites that I've never seen mentioned.
1. Most of the problems folks are experiencing on the server side are .NET 2.0 induced. If you must run .NET 2.0 then you need dll's that were compiled with Visual Studio 8. The big push behind VS.8 and the Express editions is to get you off of PHP and onto C#. Keep that in mind when you develop apps.
2. You can run .NET 2.0 and Visual studio on XP with PHP and IIS if you install Visual Studio first. Visual studio installs its own dedicated version of IIS that works with .NET 2.0 but will not run php. After VS is installed go ahead and install the included XP version of IIS and configure your virtual sites with PHP. If you do it the other way around, VS will incorporate itself into the xp IIS and your PHP will probably not run.
3. Put the PHP ini file where windows wants it, in the (system root) "c:\windows" dir. If you do that, and you are using only the ISAPI dll's, you just need to change the ini file to point to the ext directory correctly and it will run fine. I usually do all the pathing recommendations and set phprc=(php directory) too. I also leave a copy of the current ini file in the php directory root just incase php forgets to consult with the OS before looking for something.
Most of the problems with permissions are comming from .NET 2.0. You should never have to weaken security to get PHP to run.
4. Slightly out of scope but important nonetheless. If you do not run .NET 2.0, the ordering of your extensions (ie..mysql.dll, etc.) becomes far less important. You may see a hang occasionally but its rare.
Hope this helps someone.

How to solve the nasty "permission denied" under IIS (Windows xp)
From http://www.geocities.com/legolas.1558/php_iis_permission_denied.htm
1. Did you disable Simple File Sharing? From any folder click Tools -> Folder Options -> View (tab)-> (scroll the list and find "Simple File Sharing (reccomended)") UNTICK IT
2. Locate your localhost root directory, usually C:\InetPub\wwwroot\
3. Open the Properties of the whole directory, in our case wwwroot
4. Click the Protection tab(where to manage user rights)
5. Click Add and then click Advanced (button in the bottom-left part of the window)
6. Click Find (the only enabled button between Columns and Stop)
7. Pick the user that starts with IUSR_ (which is the IIS default user) from the list Windows has kindly found for you
8. push OK twice
9. the new added IUSR_ will be selected, from the Authorizations list check Edit (to allow file creation/deletion) and Write (to allow file modify)
10. click OK one more time to get back to your native folder

After having recently gone through a long process of trial and error installing both php4 and php5 on a single machine under IIS. I eventually did get it working so I thought I'd share what I learnt.
Basically, as far as I can tell there is no way to get both versions working using the ISAPI dlls unfortunately. You can however get them working using one as ISAPI and the other as CGI. And probably both as CGI too, although I didn't try that.
You'll need to know how to do a manual install of PHP anyway, see the instructions for how to do that. Make sure you follow the steps about your PATH env variable and Allowing extensions on IIS 6. Keep your php.inis in the relevant php directory and make sure they are not in your windows or system32 folders. And all that other hoopla.
The crucial part is your php.ini files. The problem being that both versions will look at your PHPRC setting and get the ini file path from that. So you'll end up with both versions running off the same INI which is no good. The way around this is to use the CGI for one version and ISAPI for the other.
The ISAPI dll never seems to look in it's own directory for the ini file, but the CGI exe does. You can use that quirk to your advantage by naming the INI file for the ISAPI version 'php-isapi.ini' and setting the PHPRC environment variable to that path. Then for the CGI version keep the php.ini in the same directory as php.exe.
Then set your virtual server to use either the ISAPI module for one version, or the CGI module for the other version, and it should work. Test using phpinfo() to ensure each version is getting it's ini file from the correct place.
Basically it seems that the ISAPI module will look in the path set in PHPRC first, and choose the php-isapi.ini file. The CGI module will look in PHPRC first too, but it upon seeing no php.ini it will then move on to search it's own directory, where it finds php.ini.

I have fixed the 404 with this message found at google groups:
-----------------------------------------------------------
I could not get PHP pages to display in IIS 6 with Windows 2003, using the
default install of the stable binaries from php.net.
Here is the solution I found.
The default install registers the .php extension as belonging to
c:\php\php.exe. This is correct, but it's faster to use the ISAPI
extension.
To do this,
1. Open the IIS Management console
2. Expand the server, right click on "Web Sites" and click Properties
3. Open the "ISAPI Filters" foldertab
4. Click Add
5. Enter PHP in the Filter Name box.
6. Click Browse and then Browse to your php4isapi.dll.
6. Click ok -> Apply -> ok
... Once this is completed, your PHP scripts still won't run. The problem
is that you have to define and enable PHP as a "Web Service Extension".
To do this,
1. Open the IIS Management console
2. Expand the server, and expand the "Web Services Extensions"
3. Click "Add a new Web services Extension"
4. Enter PHP in the Extension Name box.
5. In the required files box, Browse to your php directory and add
php4isapi.dll.
6. Click ok -> Apply -> ok
Last but not least, You may or may not need to do the following,
-Set the extensions path in the php.ini file if you are going to use any
extensions , i.e. php_mssql.dll
-I had to copy the php4isapi.dll from c:\php\isapi to c:\php, YMMV
-Give the webserver user (IUSR_MACHINENAME in most cases) read and execute
access to php4isapi.dll and php4ts.dll
Good Luck,

PROBLEM
PHP $DOCUMENT_ROOT was not set in IIS.
ANALYSIS
A Google search turned up a suggestion re using ISAPI instead of CGI.
SOLUTION
I did the fix per these suggested steps from Google search:
1 Downloaded PHP5 zip
2 Added ISAPI filter PHP5ISAPI.DLL named PHP
3 Changed document type .php to point at the PHP5ISAPI.DLL file instead of PHP.EXE.
RESULT
This worked - the php pages started picking up $DOCUMENT_ROOT as expected.
General suggestion: Don't waste time with CGI, use ISAPI.

PHP 5, IIS 5, Win XP:
One thing to note: if you run phpinfo() and the 'Configuration File (php.ini) Path' points to a directory and not the actual file (ie. C:\\windows instead of C:\\windows\\php.ini) this means that it is not using your php.ini file, it is using default settings.
After spending hours searching forums the only thing that got it to work for me was to create a new environment system variable called 'PHPRC' and set it to the path where your php.ini is located (ie C:\\PHP) - simply adding C:\\PHP to the system path variable didn't do it. You have to reboot after this change of course. I'm not sure why this isn't more documented as from my searching there are quite a few people who experience this problem... hope this helps!

After installing PHP and running an http://localhost/test.php file in my browser, I encountered a COM Surrogate error. After some testing, I found that it was a result of un-checking the Cache ISAPI applications checkbox. Consequently, make sure that the Cache ISAPI applications checkbox has a check in it. To get to the checkbox go to:
Control Panel>Administrative Tools>Internet Information Services
When you are at the IIS window in the left navigational panel go to:
Local Computer>Web Sites>Default Web Site
Right-click on your default web site and select Properties. A Properties window appears. Select the Home Directory tab. Click on the Configuration... button. A Configuration window appears. Below the Mappings tab is the Cache ISAPI applications checkbox.
Again, make sure that the Cache ISAPI applications checkbox has a check in it. I hope this helps anybody else with a similar problem.

"Click on the 'Configuration' button, and choose the Application Mappings tab. Click Add and set the Executable path to the appropriate CGI file. An example PHP 5 value is: C:\php\php-cgi.exe Supply .php as the extension. Leave 'Method exclusions' blank, and check the 'Script engine' checkbox. Now, click OK a few times."
When installing PHP 5 on IIS 6.0 and Windows 2003 I encountered problems with this instruction. I believe the root cause is that IIS requires the "scripts and executables" execute permission to be selected if the script engine has a .exe extension.
However, there may have been additional problems. Even when selecting the "scripts and executables" execute permission I continually received HTTP Header errors. The resolution was to follow the instructions for use of php5isapi.dll. The .dll extension can be run with the "scripts only" execute permission. Also remember IIS 6.0 requires that you identify Web Extensions and Allow execution of those extensions.

The environment is Windows 2003 Server/IIS 6/PHP 5.
About IIS 6 of Windows XP.
There is no 'IISEXT.VBS'.
It seems not to have to add it to the Web enhancing
(It is not an accurate intelligence ).
Moreover, when the method argument of iis6
isapimap add is omitted, it becomes an error.
Specify it following and specifying it.
iis6isapimap add .PHP C:\PHP\php5isapi.dll GET,POST,HEAD

Hint registered to IIS 6 as ISAPI without using GUI.
(It is a machine translation from Japanese to English. )

'IISEXT.VBS' is attached to IIS 6.

To our regret, there is no good method in the standard. :-(

I had problems upgrading to 5.0.3 isapi on my IIS 6/Windows 2003 server. Most of the instructions I found said to give the IUSR account access to various files/folders. In my case I needed to give access to "Network Service" (not to be confused with just "Network").
1. In IIS Admin, go to Application Pools
2. Right click on the pool your site is running under and click properties.
3. Go to the Identity tab and see what user is selected.
4. Give that user permissions to your php files/directory.
Don't know if this will help anyone else, but thought I'd offer in case.

There's a bug in IIS 5.1 which may prevent you from adding an Application Extension Mapping. If the OK button remains disabled after you've entered the Executable and the Extension, try this workaround provided by Microsoft:
1. Right-click the individual Web site or the Web Sites folder, and then click Properties.
2. On the Home Directory tab, click Configuration.
3. Under Application Configuration, click Add, and then click the Mappings tab.
4. With the Add/Edit Application Extension Mapping dialog box open, click Browse to select the .exe file or the .dll file from the local path on the Web server.
Note:
You must type the path to a valid file in the Executable text box or the OK button remains unavailable. The easiest way to make sure that you enter a valid path is to select the file by using the Browse button.
5. After the path appears in the Executable text box, click in the Executable text box to initialize the path.
6. Click in the Extension space, and then type the file name extension.
Note:
- You must enter the period (.) in front of the extension in the Extension text box, or the OK button remains unavailable.
7. When the OK button becomes active, click OK to continue.

If you use IIS6 you have to add a new Webextension for PHP to work, otherwise you will get a "404"-Page if you try to point your browser to a "*.php" file.
In order to do this you have to open the IIS-management console and open the "local computer".
Under "webextensions" you will find allready a list with different extensions all being blocked by default.
To get PHP to work you have to manually add a new webextension. I only have a german version of IIS in front of me so forgive me if i translate the buttons wrongly.
Click on "New webextension". Enter any name you like for your new extension. Click on "Add..." and then on "Search...". If you would like to add the DLL just browse to your PHP-directory and you will find the php5ts.dll. If you search for the php-cgi.exe you have to change the filetype at the bottom to "CGI-Exe-Files". Only after changing the filetype you can see the php-cgi.exe file and choose it for the extension.
If you check the checkbox at the bottom of the "New extension" Window it will allow the newly added extension to be executed. Certainly you can change the status any time you want by clicking on "Allow".
Only after that procedure you will be able to get in touch with PHP-files.
sincerely

Under IIS6 (and earlier)
After all the installation, do not forget to add "index.php" as default page, under the Documents tab in the Web Site's Properties.
1. Right-click Web Sites, choose Properties
2. Click Documents tab
3. Click Add...
4. Type index.php, click Ok
5. Choose "index.php" from the list and move it to the top using Move Up button.
6. Make sure "Enable default content page" is checked.
Ofcourse you can add other pages as default.
For those that do not know what is this for: If you do not provide full URL and you have several pages in the directory which are in this list, the server will return the topmost of them. In case you wish to open other page of them, you have to provide its full URL. Putting "index.php" on top will make sure no other pages will be returned as default.

I am running Active Directory & IIS6.0
I found that after looking through the tutorial below i was still unable to get into my site (authentication popup, 401.3 error). I set my permissions for read & execute for IUSR_(server) and IIS_WPG for both my document root and the php directory.. no luck.
However, here's how i solved the problem. (I believe this solution is relevant to fixing the active directory issue)
1. You want to give the IUSR_* and IIS_WPG read & execute permission to the PHP DIRECTORY ONLY. (I managed to remove the credentials from my document root and it still works.
2. Open IIS Manager and go to Application Pools, then to the pool which is relevant to your site (in my case DefaultAppPool).. on this item, right click and choose properties.
3. Now navigate to the identity tab.
4. My Worker process was set to Predefined: Network Service. I changed this to Configurable: IWAM_(server name) (which if you noticed is in the user group 'IIS_WPG')
Note: i also changed the passwords for my IUSR_* and IWAM_* accounts to be sure they werent set to something easy by default. Its probably a good idea to do this too.
Hope this solves someones frustration.

I noted however, that I did not need to 'allow unknown Isapi applications' , and I was able to keep the configuration at 'Scripts Only' instead of 'Scripts and Executables' - both settings are potentially more secure this way.
The only configuration that is different from how I normally configure PHP on IIS 5 is the addition of PHP as a Web Service Extension.

Here's a quick fyi, to get PHP installed on .Net Server w/ IIS 6 you have to use the IIS manager to enable support for different web service extentions. CGI ,ASP, ISAPI are all prohibited by default. In IIS manager click on the Web Service Extentions Folder there's options to add a new extention , prohibit all extentions etc. I chose add new extention ,in the dialog box I named it PHP , click add , in the next dialog browse to path of 'php4isapi.dll' hit ok then mark checkbox "Set extention status Allowed" hit ok and all is good. This was done after I followed the install.txt for IIS 4 or newer .

When using WindowsNT 4.0 and IIS, the WWW home directory needs to have Read AND Execute access rights.
