After extensive search, double checking install, reinstalling, troubleshooting, I don't know where to turn next.
Background:
- I'm trying to get a wiki working using MediaWiki.
- I have PHP Manager installed for IIS 7.
- I have a MySQL server installed on the same machine.
- PHP version is 5.6.5 and installed at
C:\PHP
.
The main issue:
Locally I can view the index.php
file, but not externally.
I get a generic page can't be displayed
error if linking to the /w/
directory.
Depending on the browser I'll get two results when linking to w/index.php
:
page can't be displayed
IIS 404.0 Error.
Depending on the browser I'll get two results linking to w/index.php?title=Main_Page;
IIS 404.0 Error
unformatted page content
The error:
Module: IIS Web Core
Notification: MapRequestHandler
Handler: StaticFile
Error Code: 0x80070002
Requested URL: http://localhost:80/w/index.php?title=Main_Page
Physical Path: C:\inetpub\wwwroot\w\index.php
Logon Method: Anonymous
Logon User: Anonymous
Troubleshooting done:
- No errors shown by PHP Manager.
- Switched PHP versions (no effect).
- Externally tested other PHP forms running inside HTML (works fine).
- Checked permissions on all folders (fine).
- Edited Feature Permissions under Handler Mappings to allow executable (no change).
- Changed PHP_via_FastCGI's access restriction to execute (no change).
- Checked to make sure PHP Handling Mapping was set to
*.php
(it is). - Checked Default Document settings and index.php. Externally tested
index.html
inw/
(works both by direct link to file and link to folder). - Externally tried tested
/w/index.html
with PHP"Hello World"
inside it (blank page).
What am I doing wrong? Everything works perfectly fine run locally on the server.
