How to get VS.Php to use local machine's IIS that has PHP and XDebug installed...

Posted March 12th, 2008 by gspencer

I have PHP and XDebug installed on my laptop (Vista SP1) IIS and I got the PHP information page to come up successfully. Now I want VS.Php to use the local IIS (v7) instead of the built-in Apache and PHP. Similarly to the way you can build aspx pages using your local IIS. I tried to "remote" connect to my local machine using 127.0.0.1 but I cannot connect. I tried all three server types. I used my admin user name and password. I get the error message that the remote machine active refused the connection. What can I do?

Thanks

    Here is what you should

    Here is what you should do:

    Create a local project under the inetpub directory:

    c:\inetpub\wwwroot\my project

    Set debug mode to external. This will make VS.Php not start Apache.

    In the start url do something like: http://localhost/my project/index.php

    Make sure XDebug is configure correctly. Check phpinfo() to make sure. Look at the php.ini in the vs.php direcory to get an idea on how to configure XDebug.

    As an alternate you can create the project anywhere you want and then use the deployment settings to copy the files to the wwwroot directory.
