If I don’t use regular PHP from the php.net site the php page gets displayed in the development fabric (when published to Windows Azure I get a 403 error like some of the others, I guess the CGI executable is not properly packaged, may be).

If I use the non-thread safe file then I can only see the directory listing although default page has been defined.

I made a mistake of typing FastGGI instead of FastCGI and it still compliled without errors and dsiaplyed the directory structure.

If I read the instructions bundled with the download there are a few more changes for the php.ini file that you don’t mention.

Is there a final version of this somewhere?

Thanks for you time to write this, its hard to find some really useful info about php and azure.

1 thing, in Step 11, may be you forgot to put “approot” in scriptProcessor=”%RoleRoot%phpphp-cgi.exe”?

@Bill – you’re absolutely right – I neglected to put a “*” in the path for the “FastCGI Handler.” I’ve updated the post. Thanks so much, and I apologize for the error!

There is a typo in the above tutorial.

When adding the handlers at Step 11.

There is a missing “*” on path attribute.

Thus, the correct input for step 11 should be as follows:

Hi Oleg,

I’ve solved this problem. Check your php folder. It should be properly packaged into your project. Otherwise, php will not be deployed into Azure.

Hi. I’v encountered with same issue. Works fine on localhost, but “File or directory not found” if project deployed on Azure.

Hi Bek -

Can you zip up your entire solution so that I can take a look? You can send the zip to wwegner 23 – at – hotmail – dot – com.

Thanks,

Hi, I did everything as explained in here. index.php is working on localhost. But when I deploy my project on Azure, page could not be opened. I got the error like this:

404 – File or directory not found.
The resource you are looking for might have been removed, had its name changed, or is temporarily unavailable.

Any suggestions?
