Registering PHP

When configuring an IIS Application that uses PHP, you first need to register the PHP CGI module with IIS. The following xPhp configuration downloads and installs the prerequisites for PHP, downloads PHP, registers the PHP CGI module with IIS and sets the system environment variable that PHP needs to run.

Note: This example is intended to be used as a composite resource, so it does not use Configuration Data. Please see the Composite Configuration Blog on how to use this configuration in another configuration.

Installation

From GitHub source code

To manually install the module, download the source code from GitHub and unzip the contents to the '$env:ProgramFiles\WindowsPowerShell\Modules' folder.

From PowerShell Gallery

To install from the PowerShell gallery using PowerShellGet (in PowerShell 5.0) run the following command:

Find-Module -Name WebAdministrationDsc | Install-Module

To confirm installation, run the below command and ensure you see the DSC resources available:

Get-DscResource -Module WebAdministrationDsc

Requirements

The minimum Windows Management Framework (PowerShell) version required is 4.0 or higher.

Note: In the CI pipeline the resource are only tested on PowerShell 5.1, so PowerShell 4.0 support is best effort as this time.
