I am attempting to set up a localhost testing server through IIS, but for the life of me I have been unable to get it working. I have my project folder in the localhost directory:
C:\inetpub\wwwroot
The IIS splash screen works when I just try to go to "localhost", but when I run any PHP file I just get the error:
"HTTP Error 404.3 - Not Found The page you are requesting cannot be served because of the extension configuration. If the page is a script, add a handler. If the file should be downloaded, add a MIME map.".
I was first trying with my project, but then I tried a simple echo script which still gives me the same error, so something must be wrong with how my PHP is configured. The most recent solution I have tried is this one IIS 8 Wont run PHP?, but this did not work.
Is there a surefire way to fix this? I have been looking at it for HOURS.
I am running Windows 8.1 64-bit. Has anyone else ran into this problem and managed to fix it?
Let me know if you need any more information, I really need to get this testing server up :/
