I already have PHP 5.3.6 installed, is there a way to direct WebMatrix to make use of the installed PHP?
Thanks

WebMatrix uses IIS Express webserver (IIS Express gets installed along with WebMatrix) and you need to configure IIS Express to use installed PHP. Run the following two commands from IIS Express installation folder (%programfiles%\IIS Express) and restart WebMatrix.
appcmd.exe set config /section:system.webServer/fastCGI /+[fullPath=’c:{php_installation-folder}\php-cgi.exe’]
appcmd.exe set config /section:system.webServer/handlers /+[name=’PHP_via_FastCGI’,path=’.php’,verb=’‘,modules=’FastCgiModule’,scriptProcessor=’c:{php_installation-folder}\php-cgi.exe’,resourceType=’Unspecified’]
