I couldn't for the life of me get IIS 5.1 and PHP 5 in CGI mode to
work. I ignored all previous PHP 4 related instructions as I figured
them to be irrelevant. After reading Philip's comments about the
Macromedia tutorial, I finally decided using their method for CGI mode
just might work.
All it took to get IIS 5.1 and PHP 5 to work in CGI mode was the
following lines, never referenced in the official documentation as what
you *must* do:
cgi.force_redirect = 0 // Default must be 1 when commented out.
cgi.redirect_status_env = ENV_VAR_NAME
Now that I'm not running in ISAPI mode, all of my scripts aren't open
handles of dllhost.exe. dllhost.exe is no longer crashing every time
the system is restarted.
Yay!

The IIS docs need help, someone who uses IIS should really update these
docs. Marking as critical. The PHP installer should also look into
being updated for this (although IMHO nobody should use the PHP
installer!)

This need to go on the install.txt file. BIG TIME. Searching google
for ""HTTP Error 404 - File or directory not found. PHP IIS 2003"" and
this article came up 7th. Does not bode well for noobs (A turn off, as
in why bother) as well as experienced developers (A serious irritant,
as in "Oh great, another speed bump and another hour or 2 of my time").

Other things to check on windows server 2003 installations (and other
windows installations based on NT/2k server) are that extension DLLs
have the appropriate ntfs security permissions (have to be able to
execute by IIS acct iusr_machinename)
