Installation & Configuration of PHP as FastCGI on Windows Server 2003

Previously, it was taught here on how to install and run PHP applications on windows IIS web server via ISAPI module. As discussed before, implementation of ISAPI ("Internet Server Application Programming Interface") on IIS has some disadvantages particularly the threading issue on which some popular extensions to PHP are not thread-safe, thus could cause server instability.

From this, an alternative solution can be use and this is by using FastCGI. FastCGI is an open extension to CGI that provides high performance for all Internet applications without any of the limitations of existing Web server APIs
FastCGI allows the host CGI process to remain alive after one request finishes so that the process may be reused for another request giving out good performance and stability.

Here are the step-by-step procedure on how this is done:

Softwares involve:

1. IIS 6.0
2.php (ver 5.2.11 zip package)
3. fastcgi
4. Windows Server® 2003

Steps:

1. Download the php Windows binaries in zip package on http://www.php.net/downloads.php. It is recommended to use the zip package because it includes greater functionality and extensions.

2. Unzip the php package, preferably on c:\php

3. Download the FastCGI extension thru http://www.iis.net/extensions/fastcgi. Select the proper file depending on your machine architecture. On this tutorial, we will be downloading th X86 package.


4. You will be ask to download "fcgisetup32.msi".

5. Double click the installer and a welcome screen will be prompted. Click Next.

6. An End-User License Agreement will follow. Put a check mark to accept. Click Next.

7. Click Install to being the installation process.

8. A successful install will look similar on the diagram below. Click Finish to close.

9. Configure the FastCGI extension to work with PHP. The configuration script with the name "fcgconfig.js" is provided with the installation of FastCGI extension and can be found in %WINDIR%\system32\inetsrv.

To configure FastCGI extension to work with PHP, you need to open a command line and execute the following command:

c:\> cd c:\windows\system32\inetsrv
c:\> cscript fcgiconfig.js -add -section:"PHP" -extension:php -path:"C:\PHP\php-cgi.exe"

BTW, it can be done per site, you just need to specify the website name, such as:
c:\> cscript fcgiconfig.js -add -section:"PHP" -extension:php -path:"C:\PHP\php-cgi.exe" –website:1


10. Create script mappings on the IIS for your PHP extension.
a. Open IIS manager
b. Double click the machine name, and under Websites, look for the website name. Right click then click Properties.
c. Go to "Home Directory" tab
d. Click "Configuration" button and click Add.. button
e. Browse the fcgiext.dll located in %WINDIR%\system32\inetsrv.

11. Go to "Documents" tab and click Add. Add index.php

12. It is now ready to serve php applications. You can test it by creating a phpinfo.php file.

13. Browse phpinfo.php and you should see similar output below:

IIS Installation as Application Server on Windows Server 2003

Here are the step-by-step procedure on installing the Internet Information Services (IIS) on Windows Server 2003.

The installation is so easy since Windows has a built-in Installation Wizard and details are self-explanatory.

1. Go to Start> Programs > Administrative Tools> Configure Your Server Wizard

2. Welcome Screen will follow with some brief information.Click Next.

3. Preliminary Steps informing about IIS prerequisites.Click Next.

4. The wizard will detect your network configuration.

5. The Windows Security Alert will prompt if your firewall is on. Just select “Unblock” to continue with the installation.

6.The wizard will ask for the Server Role you want to install. Select Application Services (IIS, ASP.NET), then click Next.

7. An Application Server Options will follow. If you will run .NET applications (aspx), then you can put a check on “Enable ASP.NET”, then click Next.
8. A Summary of selections will appear. Click Next

9. It will start now the Installation and Configuration process.

10. It will look for the Installation Disk or the “i386″ folder to install the files needed.

10. A successful install will look like this, click Finish.
