Microsoft Releases IIS FastCGI Module

Posted by kdawson on from the smells-like-coexistence dept.

Marcy writes "Microsoft has just announced the final release of the IIS FastCGI module for IIS 5.1 (XP), 6 (2003), and 7 (2008). This FastCGI module was built with collaboration from Zend, the creators of PHP, and is intended to solve the CGI on Windows problem." It's free as in beer.

    I'm familiar with both Apache and IIS and I'd rather use Apache any day. Rather than half an hour of clicking around to make it behave the way I want, if it's possible at all in crappy IIS, I can copy, paste, and modify a short bit of text in a few seconds. There is no mystery to how it works and it always works on the first try, assuming you know what you're doing, which is not something I can say for IIS.
