IIS returning 404 Not Found for PHP on Server 2003

Question posted by: donthegeek (Newbie) on June 26th, 2008 05:44 AM

Hi Everyone,

I'm assuming this is an easy and common problem and I have spent the last day searching and trying just about everything I can find.

I am standing up a new IIS server on Web Server 2003. I'll be serving up some PHP sites along with my aspx sites. The aspx pages are working as are my static html sites. I have several dev servers running PHP which work fine, but I still follow the instructions from PHP.Net when installing a new server. This time it doesn't work no matter what I've tried. If I browse a PHP page, I get the 404 Not found error. If I browse an html page in the same site, no problems, works fine.

My PHP folder is C:\PHP, I've modified the path with the folder in the front of the path, set up the php.ini as in the instructions, set my doc_root to c:\inetpub\wwwroot, made sure the ISAPI filters were correct, turned on PHP in the IIS web extensions, double checked to make sure IUSR has read permissions to the C:\PHP folder, rebooted way too many times, pulled out my hair (and I don't have enough as it is).

What in the world could I have missed?

Hoping someone has the answer,

Don
