IIS / PHP / Windows 10

On my Windows 7 Pro systems (desktop and laptop) I do some - very - simple web work in a development environment before uploading it to the web server. I use IIS and the web code uses PHP. This has been running on Win 7 for a few years with no problem.

It worked after doing a normal free upgrade to Win 10 on my laptop. However I've now reinstalled Win 10 from the ISO and want to get IIS & PHP working again.

I tried taking the PHP files from Win 7 to Win 10; installing IIS, FastCgi as described here. However when it came to this section

In reference to php.net/manual/en/install.windows.iis7.php:

Example #2 Creating IIS FastCGI process pool

the command

%windir%\system32\inetsrv\appcmd set config /section:system.webServer/fastCGI ^
/+[fullPath='c:\PHP\php-cgi.exe']

was always rejected; I removed the ^ so what I submitted was

%windir%\system32\inetsrv\appcmd set config /section:system.webServer/fastCGI/+[fullPath='c:\PHP\php-cgi.exe']

I tried it without the square brackets, still rejected, error message saying

Unknown config section system.webServer/fastCGI/+[fullPath='c:\PHP\php-cgi.exe']

or similar. I tried changing CGI to Cgi but it still gave the error.

Any thoughts on what I'm doing wrong?

And yes, I do want to continue to use IIS & PHP, it suits me.

There should be a space after /fastCGI

Have you installed the CGI feature? (Programs and Features/Internet InformationWorld Wide Web Services/Application Development Features/CGI) It's not installed by default.

Bingo, thanks.

Yes, mentioned in the OP.
