The FastCGI process exited unexpectedly

Question

I am trying to run PHP via FastCGI on a Windows 2008 server.

I followed this installation doc http://learn.iis.net/page.aspx/246/using-fastcgi-to-host-php-applicati

Answer 1

In my case I had wrong constellation of configurations:

• error reporting disabled
• typo error in the configuration

After enabling the error_reporting it was clear the session_path was pointed to a wrong folder.
