I've been trying to run a simple hello world php site from iis express, following this question https://stackoverflow.com/a/7086364/744610
but i keep getting an error 500 from the iis, and in the cmd i can see a 404 error regarding a fav icon.
detailed informaion from the 500 error
Detailed Error Information:
Module FastCgiModule
Notification ExecuteRequestHandler
Handler PHP-FastCGI
Error Code 0x80070002
Requested URL http://localhost:32701/index.php
Physical Path c:\myphpsite\index.php
Logon Method Anonymous
Logon User Anonymous
Request Tracing Directory C:\Users\user\Documents\IISExpress\TraceLogFiles\PHPTEST
i double checked at the physical path is indeed correct.
the cmd:
Request started: "GET" http://localhost:32701/index.php
Request ended: http://localhost:32701/index.php with HTTP status 500.0
Request started: "GET" http://localhost:32701/favicon.ico

Request started: "GET" http://localhost:32701/index.php
Request ended: http://localhost:32701/index.php with HTTP status 500.0
Request started: "GET" http://localhost:32701/favicon.ico
Request ended: http://localhost:32701/favicon.ico with HTTP status 404.0
i tried f5'ing a couple of times, hence the repetitions.
my index.php
<html>
<body>
<?php
echo "Hello world";
?>
</body>
</html>
Why don't you simply use Web Matrix with PHP.
