In this post, I will explain how to enable IIS for hosting PHP websites by Add Module Mapping for PHP files.

Following are the steps required to add module mapping.

• Open the IIS Manager, from the Connections panel on the left, click on the hostname of your server.

• Double-click on the Handler Mappings option.

  

• On right side of the Handler Mappings screen, from Actions panel, click on Add Module Mapping.

  

• Type the following information into the appropriate text boxes, and then click OK.

  • Request path: *.php
  • Module: FastCGImodule
  • Executable: C:\php\php-cgi.exe
  • Name: PHP_via_FastCGI
  

• On the confirmation dialog for creating FastCGI Application, Click Yes.

  

Now, your IIS should enable to host PHP files. IIS has to be restarted to make new changes in effect.
