We are running a web server IIS8 on a windows server 2012 machine. I need to install PHP on it.

I found a nice tutorial here: http://www.nutstech.info/2012/09/windows-server-2012-server-core-setup.html

But, I am hesitant to follow it, and would like to know whether anyone has had experience installing PHP for IIS8 on a win server 2012 machine and whether there is an easy way of doing this?

Please note that I will be using php scripts to run stored procedures on a sql server 2012.

I would use the TechNet article instead, or perhaps a blend of both. I see some warnings on the TechNet side about installing the non-thread version due to incompatibilities with PHP 5.4.

Microsoft says the best way is to use their Web Installer from IIS.

  • Are you talking about the Windows CGI feature? or CGI module of PHP? According to that TechNet article, the Web PI install it (CGI) when it installs PHP. Commented Feb 5, 2013 at 22:28
