ISAPI Extensions will not turn on in Windows 7

[DavidIIM]

I am running Windows 7 Ultimate and getting errors when trying to view localhost/wwwroot/phpinfo.ini

I finally realized that the ISAPI Extentions were not turned on. When I try to turn them on it goes through the process and then tells me not all features were successfully changed.

For some reason I can not get this feature to turn on. Can anyone help me with this?

I struggled for a good solid month to get IIS/PHP working in Windows 7 with no luck. I ended up uninstalling IIS, undoing all of the system changes to enable PHP and installed XAMPP Instead. took 3 minutes to download, 2 minutes to install. at the end of 5 minutes, I had a working PHP/MySQL testing server.


See our "Setting up a Testing Server for Windows" Tutorial on the learning resources page for inforamation on setting up XAMPP.

I have been using the ftp testing server, but I will give that a try next time I get a chance.
