We have built a Windows 2003 server to replace one that is currently in situ but very unstable. It is a webhosting platform running IIS 6 with PHP and ASPX websites. ASPX websites work fine but any websites running PHP return a 404 error when we try to load them. We have checked permissions on the PHP folder (C:\PHP) and these are the same as those on the unstable server.<br />
<br />
Grateful for any advice on what may be causing the issue or what we may be overlooking. Thanks.

PHP Websites Not Running on rebuilt Windows 2003 server

PHP is a widely-used server-side scripting language especially suited for web development, powering tens of millions of sites from Facebook to personal WordPress blogs. PHP is often paired with the MySQL relational database, but includes support for most other mainstream databases. By utilizing different Server APIs, PHP can work on many different web servers as a server-side scripting language.

IIS is Internet Information Services, the web server included with Windows Server operating systems. All current versions are built on a modular architecture; modules can be added or removed individually so that those required for specific functionality are installed. The full installation of IIS includes HTTP, security, content, compression, caching, logging and diagnostics.
