I have installed PHP 4.3.3 with IIS 5.1 and configured IIS 5.1 so that when a .php file is called it runs php.exe. When I call a .php file in the browser an instance of php.exe can be seen triggered in the Task Manager process window. The script never finishes and I end up with a timeout message.

"CGI Timeout
The specified CGI application exceeded the allowed time for processing. The server has deleted the process"

The script I am trying is just <?php phpinfo();?>

I did wonder if the issue is a permissions one. php.exe seems to be running as IUSR_<my pc name>

I have modified the permissions on the folders that contain both php.exe and the .php scripts. But this has made no difference

Any ideas ?

Thanks

In IIS ISAPI filter, add the php ISAPI filter and try it.
You should be able to find the filter in the php directory.

I haven't tested the perfomance specs but heard it's easier and scripts run faster at lower load that way.
