Log on as Administrator Go to Start / ControlPanel / Administrative Tools and double_click on Internet Information Service

IIS Manager window opens(see Fig 4)On the left pane click on whatever your computer name is ,and in the midle double-click on Isapi Filters.

Fig 4

On the right pane,under Action click on add.

Fig 5

In the Executable type C\:PHP\php5isapi.dll , where c:\PHP is the directory where you have installed PHP and in theFilter name type PHP and press OK .

Fig 6
With the blue arrow on the top-left corner go back to the same page as for Fig 4 ,and this time double-click on Handler Mapping,on the new window(Fig 7) click on Add Script Map on the right pane under Action.

Fig 7

On the next dialog Box ( Fig 8)in the Request Path Type *.php (don't forget the star at the beginning) and in the Executable type C:\PHP\php5isapi.dll , where c:\Php is the directory where you have installed PHP and in the Name type PHP,and then click OK.

Fig 8

When you finish you should get a prompt like the one below( Fig 9).Click OK and close all the windows and restart your computer to reload the new configurations including the new system variables we have done in the first part.
When Vista has restarted log on as Administrator , navigate to the website root,by default C:\InetPub and right-click on the folder wwwroot choose properties and security tab and grant all permissions to IISUser and to anyone who has to save files to that folder and close all windows.

Fig 9

Now you ready for the test.,open a new file with notepad and type:<?php phpinfo(); ?> Save it in your website root directory that should be C:\Inetpub\wwwroot as phpTest.php not as text file but all files or it wont work.if you find problems saving in the website root folder,check the security permissionsOpen your web browser and type in the address bar http:/localhost/phptest.php and ,if a page with all the php info appears ,it means that you have php succesfully installed and running.

When a script map error appears; "Module you required by this handler is not in the modules list"!! Can you help?

From: JP	Comment Nr 4
From: JP	Posted on 06/01/09

I guess it's just what the errorr says,check the directory of the PHP module you added in the Handler Mapping section in IIS.

Bob Mason,is your Vista version 64bits?

From: Bob Mason	Comment Nr 15
From: Bob Mason	Posted on 17/07/09

Yes Ihave 64 bit Vista

From: jp50	Comment Nr 16
From: jp50	Posted on 17/07/09

I'm sorry,Bob, but this article is only for Vista 32 and I didn't have that error but,however,as far as I know you need to enable 32-bit extensions in IIS7 to prevent this error in Vista 64.Right click on the Application Pool and select "Advanced Settings" then "Enable 32-bit Applications." I don't guarantee it'll work because I can't test it but you can give it a go and go back if negative.

From: Bob Mason	Comment Nr 17
From: Bob Mason	Posted on 18/07/09

Enable 32-bit Applications in the applications pool worked once I figured out how to do it in IIS 7 which is a lot differnt from the menus in IIS 6

From: jp50	Comment Nr 18
From: jp50	Posted on 18/07/09

I guess it is,but,as i said,I haven't got Vista 64.Glad you got it running,though. If You send me some picture of the steps you did and few words how you did it,I will put it on this site and it might help somebody else.

The tuts looks great. Just like any other on this guestbook said, finally a tut for Vista 32. However, I still haven't managed to get this thing to work :-( You'll probably gonna laugh if i'd tell you that i've been trying for weeks now! On XP, Vista and Windows 7 Evaluation. I got a perfectly running phpinfo but get an http error 500.0 internal server error. Here's what I get on Windows 7, which is, I think, same as Vista. Detailed Error Information Module: IsapiModul e Notification ExecuteRequestHandl er Handler PHP Error Code 0x00000000 Requested URL http://localhost:80/basic_templ ate/index.php?action=login Physi cal Path C:\inetpub\wwwroot\basic_te mplate\index.php Logon Method Anonymous Logon User Anonymous I really hope one of you is going to save my day! Thanks in advance.

Make sure you saved the file in the root directory,and then check all the steps in the second part of this article.

http:/localhost/test.php . test.php is my file and the error is ( HTTP Error 404.3 - Not Found The page you are requesting cannot be served because of the extension configuration. If the page is a script, add a handler. If the file should be downloaded, add a MIME map.) where i ve mistaken need help Thanks

From: jp50	Comment Nr 26
From: jp50	Posted on 06/09/09

Hi Riz, as far as I know your file is a scripr,therefore u have done something wrong adding the handler.Review step 6,the most common error is forgetting the star at the beginning of REQUEST PATH. Let us know

From: Brian Nichols	Posted on 07/09/09

Thanks for helping sort out this installation, but one thing is not quite right. I am using a php guestbook that displays either the comments or submission form according to a variable sent as a GET request. Once I have loaded that php page (in either mode) it will not switch to the other, but gives Internal Server Error (500). It seems that w3wp.exe has a lock on the php file. I have to restart IIS7 and browsers in order to see the guestbook in the other mode. How do I get around this? Thanks B

I don't seem to have the ISAPI item in the IIS manager... any ideas?

From: jp50	Comment Nr 30
From: jp50	Posted on 01/10/09

What version of Vista do you have? When you install IIS you have to select the ISAPI feature ,have you done it?

From: Luther Martin	Comment Nr 31
From: Luther Martin	Posted on 06/10/09

Your information seems to be right on. I have been trying to implement PHP 5.3, but the filter, C\:PHP\php5isapi.dll is not in the package. What filter could be substituted in the 5.3 package? Thanks for all the very good information you are posting. I have not seen it any place else.

From: jp50	Comment Nr 32
From: jp50	Posted on 06/10/09

hiLuther, Apparently php5isapi.dll is not more in the package from this PHP version.To solve your problem temporaly,you can download the previous 5.2.9-2 package and install it or to keep the 5.3 copy the php5isapi.dll from the 5.2.9-2 and paste it in the 5.3 folder.It will work just nice.But for the future we'll have to Use the FastCGI interface instead which is available for IIS5/6/7.I'm writing a new tutorial for that. Hope this help

For more information about creating a tracing rule for failed requests, click here. More Information... This error means that the file or directory does not exist on the server.

Isaac, I think you have to check the step N.6 on this page.Make sure you type *.php when mapping the phpisapi to the handler mapping. Hope this helps
