I encountered this error message when testing my first .php file

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.

I have followed the tutorial: "Setting up a PHP development environment for
Dreamweaver" at
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/dreamwea...php_print.html

I don't have a clue why it happened, please !

Christine,

Sounds like you are on vista.

Someone posted this link yesterday:

http://www.maximumpcguides.com/how-t...hp-web-server/

And here is another way to setup PHP on Vista SP1:

Are you following the Windows or Mac instructions and what OS exactly are we
talking about?

Also most people will probably just tell you it is easier to install MAMP or
WAMP to get a server running ASAP.

Hi Ken Ford, Hi SnakEyez02 !

I am running Windows Vista SP1
I'm trying to follow step by step the article

http://learn.iis.net/page.aspx/246/u...cations-on-iis
7/


In paragraph "Install and Configure PHP", point 3d:
3d. Set open_basedir to point to a folder or network path where the content of
the web site(s) is located.
Does it mean that I should write:
open_basedir="C:\inetpub\wwwroot"
?


At the end of paragraph "Configure IIS 7.0 to Handle PHP Requests":
Alternatively, the above mentioned steps can be completed by using command
line tool appcmd.

1. To create the FastCGI application process pool, run the following
command:

C:\>%windir%\system32\inetsrv\appcmd set config
/section:system.webServer/fastCGI /+[fullPath='c:\{php_folder}\php-cgi.exe']
2. After that, create the handler mapping:

C:\>%windir%\system32\inetsrv\appcmd set config
/section:system.webServer/handlers
/+[name='PHP_via_FastCGI',path='*.php',verb='*',modul es='FastCgiModule',scriptPr
ocessor='c:\{php_folder}\php-cgi.exe',resourceType='Either']

What should I do to run a command ?



Thank You a lots
Christine

Hi Ken Ford
Nice
I followed step by step the article you introduce to me:

http://learn.iis.net/page.aspx/246/u...cations-on-iis
7/
My 1. testing PHP file is working very nice, so just forget my last post.

Just one more thing:
In the paragraph: "Configure PHP and FastCGI Recycling Behavior" of the above
article, it reads:

To set these configuration properties use the following commands:

C:\>%windir%\system32\inetsrv\appcmd set config
-section:system.webServer/fastCgi
/[fullPath='c:\{php_folder}\php-cgi.exe'].instanceMaxRequests:10000
C:\>%windir%\system32\inetsrv\appcmd set config
-section:system.webServer/fastCgi
/+[fullPath='c:\{php_folder}\php-cgi.exe'].environmentVariables.[name=?PHP_FCGI_
MAX_REQUESTS?, value='10000']

Does it mean that I should copy the above into the command prompt window
(cmd.exe) ?
When I open the command prompt window (cmd.exe), the last line is:
C:\Users\Lucky>_
How can I remove Users\Lucky>

Looking forward to hear from you, Thank You !

Christine

If this is just a testing server I would just ignore the last part.

But if you want to try just copy and paste the commands into a command prompt.
