Configuring PHP in IIS with Tomcat

Question

I have my Java site running under IIS 7. I need to install wordpress blog in it. I've installed and configured PHP in IIS. I have tested the PHP handler by creating a separate site, everything works fine, phpinfo() gives the desired output.

However, I'm having problem running the PHP files inside my Java web application. I've put my test PHP file inside a folder called blog. When I access this folder in the browser as /mysite/blog I get a 404 page from my Java application. When I try to invoke the php page directly, http://mysite/blog/index.php, I get an unprocessed php page.

I'm using isapi_handler for the reidrects. How do I tell my isapi_handler to ignore /blog folder? In my IIS handler mapping, *.php is mapped with Fast CGI. I'm not sure how to approach this problem and any help on this would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

Did you configure FastCGI to process PHP files? To run PHP on FastCGI on IIS:

1. Create application mapping for .php files to fcgiext.dll. I think you're done this already.
2. Configure FastCGI to process .php files via php-cgi.exe. This can be configured by editing the \WINDOWS\system32\inetsrv\fcgiext.ini file. The FastCGI configuration file is pretty much self-explanatory.

Excluding the blog directory from uriworkermap.properties seems to solve my problem. Here is the line I added to uriworkermap.properties -

!/mysite/blog/*=tomcat

This tells the isapi_redirect to ignore /blog folder.
