Answer 1

For Issue C:\PHP\php-cgi.exe - The FastCGI process exited unexpectedly.

I resolved this by installing the Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2015.(Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 Redistributable Update 3) and Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2012 Update 4 in 32 and 64bit versions. and also make sure in php.info file cgi.fix_pathinfo=0 enabled.

Answer 2

If you are installing PHP 7.1.14 on windows server 2008 rc2 Enterprise, only thing worked for me is to install microsoft Visual C++ 2015 Redistributable Update 3 from https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=53587

Answer 3

In my case the problem was coming through the application pool. Try to change your application pool ASP.NET v4.0.

Answer 4

if you have two application like (your app, phpmyadmin) just disable APC extension Hope that fix that issue it's worked with me

Answer 5

For user using PHP 5.6.x follow this link and install the x86 version.

Answer 6

When you run php-cgi.exe from the dos command line, you will get the missing MSVCR110.dll pop up message.

Like Ben said, Get the x86 download for the dll here: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=30679
