At last! Someone who knows the answer. I’ve searched everywhere, followed loads of tutorials from all sorts of “experts” but got nowhere.
Thanks Jason

Following your post, I was able to make php render in my browser. I had started with the Platform Installer for Joomla…mySql did not install properly. That was fairly easy to re-install. But PHP would not render on my browser. First I followed the clear steps on LearnIIS.net, and found some useful testing methods at php.net; but still PHP would not render. Finally, found this *very* helpful post. Thanks a million.
step 1: I used FastCGI.exe instead; see http://learn.iis.net/page.aspx/247/using-fastcgi-to-host-php-applications-on-iis-60/

step 2: copied php.ini to c:\windows (as recommended)
step 3: Set cgi.force_redirect = 0 (Only necessary for CGI mode)
step 4: Make sure php-cgi.exe enabled … The installer did not do this at all…
step 5: Recycle Application Pool
step 6: OK test of phpinfo() — YAHOO!!!

@Joaquin Your problem is that your new PHP configuration probably has the PHP short_open_tag parameter turned off. Locate it in the php.ini file and set it to On.

Hello,

Thanks for the article. I could solve de 404 problem… but now I have another one. My php labels are not being executed. They get executed when I add the word “php” in the opening label: , otherwise it is not being processed.

This is something I hadn’t faced in previous versions of PHP/Windows server. Any idea??

((This is a small problem actually, but if I don’t find a way to solve it, I’ll have to replace all my opening PHP labels from all my code.))

Thank you!
