iisPHPwindows-server-2012
Installed php on windows server 2012 and then went to command line and php -i everything displayed like it should. Then went into iis and created the handler mapping for php via fast cgi at the server level, checked to make sure that it was available in a site I created on the server, but when I navigate to mysite/test.php all I get is a 404. Checked the php error logs and there is nothing new.
Suggestions, Ideas?
I found the problem. In the php.ini there are some values which need to be set for CGI and IIS. The force_redirect needs to be 0. Furthermore, the PHP extension needs to be added in the webextensions sections of IIS.
Those things fixed the problems.
I recently implemented a similar setup:
From my deployment notes, the install steps were:
[Types]
php=PHP
[PHP]
ExePath=c:\php\php-cgi.exe
fastcgi.impersonate = 1
fastcgi.logging = 0
cgi.fix_pathinfo=1
cgi.force_redirect = 0
display_errorson in c:\php\php.ini and uncomment extension=php_mysql.dll.
In this config, you've essentially got two components, the plumbing between IIS-FastCGI-PHP, and PHP itself. I'd recommend isolating which of these isn't working:
These steps confirm (at least) the PHP executable is being invoked, with the most basic config.
hope this helps,

Ok... figured it out, my firewall was directing requests on port 80 to an old server I had. The PHP page was not on that server which is why I was getting the 404 and when I enabled detail errors I was not getting new errors.
