PHP doesn't work when a default document root is changed.

Question

Hi Everyone,

I am looking for a way to change a default document root("%RoleRoot%\approot\") and to be operated PHP exactly.

In HWC, the document root is unchangeable, it's not able to use. 
In Full IIS, the document root can be changed by <sites> on .csdef, but PHP doesn't work because of the following error. 

<handler> scriptProcessor could not be found in <fastCGI> application configuration

A Handler is set up as follows. 

<add name="PHP via FastCGI" path="*.php" verb="*" modules="FastCgiModule" scriptProcessor="%RoleRoot%\approot\php\php-cgi. exe" resourceType="Unspecified" /> 

It seems to be unable to recognize "%RoleRoot%" when a webrole is worked as Full IIS. 
I tried to set %RoleRoot% on an system environment variable using start-up task, but have no effect.

If those who know the solution of this problem, please advise me.
Of cource, if there is a method of changing a document root on HWC, it also no problem.

Thank you for your consideration.

Hi Arwind,

Thank you for your reply.

But, to begin with, PHP cannot work on my Azure environment when the WebRole is set as "Full IIS" mode.

Therefore, I think this SDK can't use...

Sorry...

Hi,

May I know what you want to achieve by "changing default root"? Do you encounter the same issue as the OP in the following thread?

If so you can use URL rewrite as the answerer mentioned.

Hi Allen,

Thank you for your reply.

Sorry, I could find a solution.

I could be changed the document root and PHP also works.

The solution is that after a setup of Full IIS, in the start-up task, corresponded to add handler of FastCGI to Web.config dynamically by using Appcmd.
