HC fails to corecly add Handler Mapings in Server 2008 R2

After some time of doing nothing with HC is again started to test with it.
 
It took me a lot of time to get HC8 installed on a clean install of Server 2008 R2 but finaly I managed to get it working.
 
Enviorment: Server 2008 R2 with Hosting Controller 8.00.0008
 
Until now I did not find any major problems exept i found a few.
 
When I Enable scripting for Perl or PHP it goes wrong.
 
PHP Handler Mapings are added wrong.
PHP must have a handler as FastCGI otherwise you end up with 500 and 500.2 errors.
HC8 is creating the handler as normal instead of FastCGI
 
Perl Handler Mapings are added wrong.
Perl must have a handler as perlis.dll otherwise you end up with 404.2 error or bla bla bla created a wrong set of headers.
HC8 is creating the handler as '\bin\perl.exe "%s" %s'  instead of '\bin\perlis.dll'
 
To work arround Perl and PHP problems you can add the right handlers to the default site and disable Perl and PHP in HC8 by this way every newly created site will have te ability to work with PHP and Perl.
 
At last when HC creates the aplication pool for the new site it does not enable 32-Bit aplications in the aplication pool resulting Perl not to work. 

Do you install Perl x64?

If both script maps are added on root then remove it first and then try. It should work.

Yes I installed the 64-bit version of Perl and there is no script map for perl in the root web. To get Perl working I have to add a script map with c:\perl\perlis.dll to get it work. If I add a script map with c:\perl\perl.exe i only get errors like the script returned a incomplete header and so on..

We have tested php 5.9.2 and if you add scripting map with ' c:\php-cgi.exe ' then there shouldn't be any issue. It shall work without any error.

Extension = .pl
Executable = C:\Perl\bin\perl.exe "%s" %s 


Extension = .plx
Executable = C:\Perl\bin\perlis.dll
These 2 extension are recommended and we use to map on a website.
By the way there is no need to configure php/perl extension on root of IIS or hosting controller website. 
In HC panel setting ' Server Manager :: Edit Server :: Web Server Setting ' provide these path
php : c:\php\php-cgi.exe
Perl: c:\perl
Then try to enable scripting from panel see what result you get.

PHP 5.9.2 doesn't exist.  From what we can tell HC still doesn't support FastCGI, it still wants to create a separate handler mapping that doesn't use FastCGI for PHP 5.2.14

We have added support of FastCgi in future HC release, right now its integration is not included in build9.

Hi,
HC8 build 11 have any changes to correct mapping PHP via FastCGI? Or it's still the same?

I can't see FastCGI support in build11 release note

Dear HC,
 
Pls, is FastCGI handler mapping supported? I was told it would be in HC9, but still have problems with double mappings for PHP.
 
If its not available yet, please give us an idea when? I dont want to have to change all my mappings, rather keep FCGI which is better.
 
Thanks.

HC team,
 
Please reply?
 
Thanks

Hello, 

I am afraid, it has been pushed back due to other important issues which should have to be resolved first on priority. So we can't give you any ETA for its availability.
