setting up laravel on IIS7

Question

I want to set up my IIS7 server in order to let it works with a web application written in laravel (php framework).

I found something simil

Answer 1

I used the code below, redirect to index.php/{R:1} rather than public/{R:1} Works straight out of the box then with no path changes.

<rewrite>
    <rules>
        <rule name="Imported Rule 2" stopProcessing="true">
            <match url="^(.*)$" ignoreCase="false" />
            <conditions logicalGrouping="MatchAll">
                <add input="{REQUEST_FILENAME}" matchType="IsFile" ignoreCase="false" negate="true" />
                <add input="{REQUEST_FILENAME}" matchType="IsDirectory" ignoreCase="false" negate="true" />
            </conditions>
            <action type="Rewrite" url="index.php/{R:1}" />
        </rule>
    </rules>
</rewrite>

Answer 2

Check your Handler Mappings in IIS:

1. launch IIS
2. click on your site
3. go on 'handler mappings' (in IIS block)
4. Search for Path PHP, Name = PHPxx_via_FastCGI (xx = php version)
5. Double click it, click on request restrictions and click on tab 'Verb's where you choose All verbs. This will fix it :-)

Answer 3

Here is how I fixed it. open the config file, if the following mapping not exists, put these lines under

  <rewrite>
    <rules>
      <rule name="Imported Rule 1" stopProcessing="true">
        <match url="^(.*)/$" ignoreCase="false" />
        <conditions>
          <add input="{REQUEST_FILENAME}" matchType="IsDirectory" ignoreCase="false" negate="true" />
        </conditions>
        <action type="Redirect" redirectType="Permanent" url="/{R:1}" />
      </rule>
      <rule name="Imported Rule 2" stopProcessing="true">
        <match url="^" ignoreCase="false" />
        <conditions>
          <add input="{REQUEST_FILENAME}" matchType="IsDirectory" ignoreCase="false" negate="true" />
          <add input="{REQUEST_FILENAME}" matchType="IsFile" ignoreCase="false" negate="true" />
        </conditions>
        <action type="Rewrite" url="index.php" />
      </rule>
    </rules>
  </rewrite>

Answer 4

I created the web.config file in root folder inside <configuration></configuration>:

<system.webServer>
    <defaultDocument>
        <files>
            <clear />
            <add value="index.php" />
            <add value="default.aspx" />
            <add value="Default.htm" />
            <add value="Default.asp" />
            <add value="index.htm" />
            <add value="index.html" />
        </files>
    </defaultDocument>
    <handlers accessPolicy="Read, Execute, Script" />
    <rewrite>
        <rules>
            <rule name="Imported Rule 2" stopProcessing="true">
                <match url="^(.*)$" ignoreCase="false" />
                <conditions logicalGrouping="MatchAll">
                    <add input="{REQUEST_FILENAME}" matchType="IsFile" ignoreCase="false" negate="true" />
                    <add input="{REQUEST_FILENAME}" matchType="IsDirectory" ignoreCase="false" negate="true" />
                </conditions>
                <action type="Rewrite" url="public/{R:1}" />
            </rule>
        </rules>
    </rewrite>
</system.webServer>

then copy the index.php file of the public folder into the root folder of the project modifying the ../paths.php into paths.php as this guide says

now everything works perfectly

Answer 5

Here is my working file, with two rules: (web site is pointing to public folder)

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<configuration>
  <system.webServer>
    <rewrite>
      <rules>
        <rule name="RewriteRequestsToPublic">
          <match url="^(.*)$" />
          <conditions logicalGrouping="MatchAll" trackAllCaptures="false">
          </conditions>
          <action type="Rewrite" url="/{R:0}" />
        </rule>
        <rule name="Imported Rule 1" stopProcessing="true">
          <match url="^(.*)$" ignoreCase="false" />
          <conditions logicalGrouping="MatchAll">
            <add input="{REQUEST_FILENAME}" matchType="IsDirectory" negate="true" />
            <add input="{REQUEST_FILENAME}" matchType="IsFile" negate="true" />
          </conditions>
          <action type="Rewrite" url="/index.php/{R:1}" appendQueryString="true" />
        </rule>
      </rules>
    </rewrite>
  </system.webServer>
</configuration>

Answer 6

Just got it working after long hours of google and testing. Here is my steps:

laravel5 with IIS 8.5

1. install window platform installer
2. install php-5.6 with window platform installer
3. install php-manager for IIS with window platform installer (optional)
4. install Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2012 (version x86)
   Without this, FastCgi process excited unexpected (php_info() will not works)
5. install composer.exe
6. export composer vendor bin path to path
   set PATH=%PATH%;%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming\Composer\vendor\bin
7. run composer global require "laravel/installer=~1.1"
8. run lavarel new app
9. create new application in IIS and point to <app>/public

That's it, Happy Lavarel!
