Hi all i have posted a similar question but i am now getting a different error so i thought i would start a new question.
Trying to get .php working on my iis 6 windows server and cannot get this working, i have followed various guides which all seem to contradict each other about versions etc.
I have installed Fast CGI and downloaded the zip file for php version 5.3.17 Thread safe
i have created a phpinfo.php file and put it on my site which has this inside
<?php phpinfo(); ?>
but when i browse to it i get the following error
The page cannot be displayed
