Simplify IIS installation instructions, refer to stable download
The documentation was quite verbose, and most of this can be replaced with instructions on using PHP Manager for IIS which sets up most of the PHP configuration for us, with small tweaks done afterwards. In addition, there were references to SVN version control locations which are long since used, we now refer to stable download locations on silverstripe.org instead, for SilverStripe as well as the mssql module.

Installing SQL Server should be relatively straightforward. Keep a note of the password you create for the "sa" user. We'll need this for later when we connect to the database server via PHP to test connectivity.
|
||||
|
||||
## Install PHP
|
||||
### Install PHP
|
||||
|
||||
From http://windows.php.net/download, pick **VC9 x86 Non Thread Safe** of the latest PHP version and click "Installer" to download the PHP installer.
|
||||
* Install PHP Manager from http://phpmanager.codeplex.com/releases/view/69115 (choose x86 or x64 depending on your Windows architecture)
|
||||
* Download the latest stable PHP 5.4 (VC9, x86) zip from http://windows.php.net/download
|
||||
* Extract zip contents to **C:\php**
|
||||
* Open PHP Manager in IIS and register **C:\php\php-cgi.exe** to enable PHP for IIS
|
||||
|
||||
**NOTE**: We chose the "Non Thread Safe" version because we'll run PHP as a FastCGI process through IIS. FastCGI ensures a single threaded execution environment so thread safety checks are not required. This provides significant performance gains over using the thread safe version of PHP.
|
||||
### Install SQL Server drivers for PHP
|
||||
|
||||
Once finished downloading, run the installer to get PHP up and running.
|
||||
This is the PHP extension allowing it to connect to SQL Server databases.
|
||||
|
||||
When prompted, select **IIS FastCGI** for the web server setup. When asked for which items to install, expand the Extensions tree and check **LDAP** and **Multi-Byte String**. You'll probably need one or both of these in the future, so it's a safe option to install them. LDAP is required for retrieving data from an Active Directory server, for example.
|
||||
* Download 3.0 executable from http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?displaylang=en&id=20098
|
||||
* Extract contents to a temporary location, such as C:\sqlsrv
|
||||
* Copy **php_sqlsrv_54_nts_vc9.dll** to C:\php\ext
|
||||
* Rename the file to **php_sqlsrv.dll**
|
||||
* Open PHP Manager and go to **Enable or disable an extension**
|
||||
* Right click **php_sqlsrv.dll** and hit **Enable**
|
||||
|
||||
Now we need to set up Handler Mappings in IIS to support PHP scripts.
|
||||
### Install wincache extension for PHP
|
||||
|
||||
Open up Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager and click on the second node that appears on the tree to the left.
|
||||
This is an op-code cacher which speeds up PHP execution on Windows.
|
||||
|
||||
* Click Handler Mappings
|
||||
* Download the latest wincache (for PHP 5.4, x86) from http://www.iis.net/download/wincacheforphp
|
||||
* Extract zip contents to a temporary location, such as C:\wincache
|
||||
* Copy php_wincache.dll to C:\php\ext
|
||||
* Open PHP Manager and go to **Eanble or disable an extension**
|
||||
* Right click **php_wincache.dll** and hit **Enable*
|
||||
|
||||
**NOTE**: If you already see an entry for PHP, continue to "Configure FastCGI in IIS" below.
|
||||
### Configuring PHP
|
||||
|
||||
* Click Add Module Mapping located on the right hand Actions bar
|
||||
* Enter ***.php** into the Request path field
|
||||
* Select FastCGIModule from the Module dropdown menu
|
||||
* Enter **"C:\Program Files (x86)\PHP\php-cgi.exe"** (including the quotes) into the Executable (optional) field
|
||||
* Enter **PHP** into the Name field
|
||||
* First of all, restart IIS to apply all changes
|
||||
* Go to **Check phpinfo()** PHP Manager
|
||||
* Ensure that **wincache** and **sqlsrv** details can be found in the information
|
||||
* Go to **Enable or disable an extension** and disable everything, except for these:
|
||||
|
||||
You can also do the same via the command line. Run these commands if you prefer to do it the CLI way:
|
||||

|
||||
php_gd2.dll
|
||||
php_mbstring.dll
|
||||
php_sqlsrv.dll
|
||||
php_wincache.dll
|
||||
php_tidy.dll
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
* Go to **Configure error reporting** and check **Development machine**
|
||||
* Go to **Manage all settings** and set the following:
|
||||
|
||||
## Configure FastCGI in IIS
|
||||
date.timezone = "Pacific/Auckland" (or choose from the list here: http://nz.php.net/manual/en/timezones.php)
|
||||
post_max_size = 64M
|
||||
memory_limit = 256M
|
||||
upload_max_filesize = 64M
|
||||
|
||||
There's some best practice configuration we need to apply to FastCGI so that our websites will run optimally.
|
||||
|
||||
* Click FastCGI Settings in the IIS Manager
|
||||
* Click the PHP entry that appears in the list, and click Edit in the right hand Actions panel
|
||||
* Look for InstanceMaxRequests and change the value to **10000**
|
||||
* Look for ActivityTimeout and change the value to **900**
|
||||
* Look for RequestTimeout and change the value to **900**
|
||||
* Click the (Collection) field and press the ... button that appears to the right
|
||||
* Click Add when the dialog box appears
|
||||
* On the right, enter **PHP_FCGI_MAX_REQUESTS** for the entry to the Name field
|
||||
* On the right, enter **10000** for the entry to the Value field
|
||||
|
||||
Again, like adding the handler mappings, the same procedures can be done using the command line:
|
||||
|
||||
C:\windows\system32\inetsrv\appcmd set config -section:system.webServer/fastCgi /[fullPath='"c:\Program Files (x86)\PHP\php-cgi.exe"'].instanceMaxRequests:10000
|
||||
C:\windows\system32\inetsrv\appcmd set config -section:system.webServer/fastCgi /[fullPath='"c:\Program Files (x86)\PHP\php-cgi.exe"'].ActivityTimeout:900
|
||||
C:\windows\system32\inetsrv\appcmd set config -section:system.webServer/fastCgi /[fullPath='"c:\Program Files (x86)\PHP\php-cgi.exe"'].RequestTimeout:900
|
||||
C:\windows\system32\inetsrv\appcmd set config -section:system.webServer/fastCgi /+"[fullPath='"c:\Program Files (x86)\PHP\php-cgi.exe'].environmentVariables.[name='PHP_FCGI_MAX_REQUESTS',value='10000']"
|
||||
|
||||
The [official guide configuring IIS for PHP applications is available](http://learn.iis.net/page.aspx/771/configure-and-optimize-the-microsoft-web-platform-for-php-applications/) for reference.
|
||||
|
||||
## Add index.php as default document
|
||||
|
||||
This is good practise, so if you browse to http://localhost/silverstripe then it will automatically run index.php. IIS needs to be told which default documents should be checked for when accessing a directory in the URL.
|
||||
|
||||
To add index.php as a default document:
|
||||
|
||||
* Open Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager
|
||||
* Click your server name on the left when the program opens
|
||||
* Double click the **Default Document** icon
|
||||
* Verify that index.php doesn't already exist in the file list
|
||||
* Click **Add** on the right sidebar to add a new entry
|
||||
* Enter **index.php** when the dialog box pops up and hit **OK**
|
||||
|
||||
## Install the SQL Server Driver for PHP
|
||||
|
||||
The following steps will install the SQL Server Driver for PHP from Microsoft:
|
||||
|
||||
* Download [Microsoft Drivers for PHP for SQL Server (2.0)](http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?FamilyID=80E44913-24B4-4113-8807-CAAE6CF2CA05&displaylang=en)
|
||||
* Run the downloaded file, extracting to C:\sqlsrv
|
||||
* In Windows Explorer, browse to C:\sqlsrv - you should see a bunch of DLL files
|
||||
* Copy **php_sqlsrv_53_nts_vc9.dll** to C:\Program Files (x86)\PHP\ext
|
||||
* Open C:\Program Files (x86)\PHP\php.ini using Notepad
|
||||
|
||||
At the bottom of the file, add this line: **extension=php_sqlsrv_53_nts_vc9.dll**
|
||||
|
||||
## Configure PHP
|
||||
|
||||
PHP is installed and works with IIS, but the configuration needs a bit of minor tweaking.
|
||||
|
||||
Open Windows Explorer. Browse to C:\Program Files (x86)\PHP and open php.ini.
|
||||
|
||||
Note: You may need to run Notepad as administrator (right click Notepad.exe and click "Run as administrator"). From inside Notepad, open C:\Program Files (x86)\PHP\php.ini.
|
||||
|
||||
First of all, look for **;date.timezone** and replace it with this one (replacing Pacific/Auckland to your timezone if you're not in New Zealand).
|
||||
|
||||
date.timezone = Pacific/Auckland
|
||||
|
||||
Secondly, look for **display_errors** and **display_startup_errors**. Replace the Off value for each of these with **On**.
|
||||
|
||||
Thirdly, PHP has a very low maximum file size of 2 megabytes for file uploads. Look for **post_max_size**, and **upload_max_filesize**. Change 2M and 8M respectively, to **128M**. This is important to allow large uploads from users, such as video. If you feel you don't require as much, change it to **64M** for both, which is a sensible limit.
|
||||
|
||||
Again, look for **max_input_time**. Replace the 60 value with **900**. The reason we're doing this is to match the 900 value we set earlier in IIS.
|
||||
|
||||
Lastly, there's one FastCGI setting we need to apply, and it's missing in the configuration by default. Look for **fastcgi.impersonate=1** and add this line below it:
|
||||
|
||||
cgi.fix_pathinfo=1
|
||||
|
||||
SilverStripe sites will email errors to developers which are crucial for debugging. It's also needed for any emails generated by the website. PHP needs to know where your SMTP server is located, and which port it listens on to be able to send emails.
|
||||
|
||||
In php.ini, look for this block of code:
|
||||
|
||||
[mail function]
|
||||
; For Win32 only.
|
||||
; http://php.net/smtp
|
||||
SMTP = localhost
|
||||
; http://php.net/smtp-port
|
||||
smtp_port = 25
|
||||
|
||||
Make sure that the SMTP and smtp_port are set to your mail server's hostname and port respectively.
|
||||
|
||||
That should do it for the PHP configuration.
|
||||
Tweak the above values as necessary if your requirements differ.

## Windows Cache Extension "wincache" for PHP
|
||||
|
||||
Microsoft has developed an extension for PHP specifically for Windows. This is designed to work similar to xcache by caching PHP code in bytecode memory for peformance improvements. It's recommended you install this for optimal PHP performance.
|
||||
|
||||
To install it, follow these steps:
|
||||
|
||||
* [Download WinCache](http://www.iis.net/extensions/WinCacheForPHP) (x86 PHP 5.3 link is on the right sidebar of the above page)
|
||||
* Extract the files to a temporary location like C:\wincache
|
||||
* Copy the php_wincache.dll file into the ext directory inside C:\Program Files (x86)\PHP
|
||||
|
||||
Edit php.ini and add the following line at the bottom of the file:
|
||||
|
||||
extension=php_wincache.dll
|
||||
|
||||
* Copy wincache.php into C:\inetpub\wwwroot
|
||||
* Edit the wincache.php file you just copied, and look for the wincache username and password
|
||||
* Replace wincache inside the file with your own username and password
|
||||
* Restart IIS
|
||||
|
||||
Now that it's installed, all your PHP scripts should be executed considerably faster.
|
||||
|
||||
To check if it's installed, have a look at the phpinfo() output and look for wincache.
|
||||
|
||||
To examine how it's being cached, visit http://localhost/wincache.php and enter the login details you set up above. This page will show you which files are currently cached and some basic reports of how the module is operating.
