It is on a development machine, and performance is not an issue (well, it sort of is an issue: php should <run>.) So I guess I'll go to cgi. As I recall, the MS site to download fastcgi states pretty clearly what it is intended to run on, and IIS 5.1 is not there - even though the MS links <pointing> to that download say fastcgi is available for 5.1. Coward that I am, I did not try it. So I appreciate the clarification that it does indeed work with 5.1. Many thanks. I look forward to this being fun again...
