None of my joomla sites are working though, all are 1.5.15 which is supposed to work on php5.3 :( Thanks Don, found that and uncommenting localhost in hosts (2008R2) fixed that problem. This talks about a solution to work it around. If you are getting a connection timeout, please refer to the PHP bug at. PHP 5.3.1 has got some problems connecting to MySQL.

Now that you know how to configure and test PHP installation under IIS, let us focus on some cool PHP programming tips. A list of supported timezone can be found at. Please set it to something you would like the default to be to get rid of this warning in your PHP.INI file. One of the changes in 5.3 is related to timezone where if PHP INI directive date.timezone is not set, PHP will issue you a warning.
At install time select all the extensions you would like to use.Set some of the INI directives for you in PHP.INI file which is considered as a good practice.Add 'index.php' to default document set.At a top level MSI will do the below things automatically if you have selected IIS FastCGI to be configured from the install UI: Ensure that you are downloading the NTS version of PHP MSI. There are certain advantages of using the MSI as it automatically does some configuration setting for you.

If you are able to see a proper page full with PHP information, you are all set.Now invoke Internet Explorer and type ' in the address bar.Please ensure that you have a site named 'Default Web Site' present and the physical path is pointing to 'C:\Inetpub\.Save the above file with name index.php inside the folder 'phptest'.Go to DOCUMENT_ROOT (typically this will be C:\Inetpub\wwwroot) and create a folder named 'phptest'.In order to test PHP installation on IIS I generally do the below: You can save this file in your WEBROOT folder and access it using browser of your choice.

I would again ensure that manual steps are extremely limited and that most of the process is done by the software. Again I have seen a lot of forum posting in the IIS forum where people have asked about this.

If you haven't read that post, I would encourage you to read that post before continue reading this. I already talked about how WPI can help you installing PHP on Windows running IIS.
