Newbie CGI issue on IIS

rahenkamp

I upgraded our PHP server to 4.3.8 a while back and had some problems. I "think" that I might have downloaded a CGI version of PHP. I do not use CGI so I am a complete idiot in its use. The reason I think that it is running CGI is when I run phpinfo I get Server API = CGI/FastCGI and when I set cgi.force_redirect in the php.ini to 0 my php apps stop working. I NEED to know how to remove the CGI version of PHP so I can load the correct version of PHP. Any DETAILED directions will be more than welcome. Thanks in advance.

PHP can be installed in basically two ways: as a standalone binary that is run as a CGI process or as a server module. neither one is more correct than the other, they simply differ in performance/security tradeoffs. if you are simply configuring a Win32 dev setup then what you already have is probably fine. if you must install PHP as a server module then you should read this.
