How can I setup an Laravel project on IIS 7.5?
<p>I have a php application that I write using Laravel framework. I developed it using XAMPP server which was running fine.</p>

<p>I want to move it to a production server where I can use IIS 7.5 to manage my applications.</p>

<p>Here is what I have done</p>

<ol>
<li>I installed IIS</li>
<li>I installed <a href="https://phpmanager.codeplex.com/downloads/get/253209" rel="nofollow">PHP Manager</a></li>
</ol>

<p>Created a folder called <code>laravel</code> in <code>C:\inetpub\wwwroot</code>
 2. Using PHP Manager I changed the PHP version to 5.6.18
 3. In my php.ini of the version 5.6.18 I enabled the following lines</p>

<blockquote>
<pre><code>extension_dir = "ext"
cgi.force_redirect = 0
cgi.fix_pathinfo = 1
fastcgi.impersonate = 1
fastcgi.logging = 0
extension=php_mbstring.dll
extension=php_exif.dll      ; Must be after mbstring as it depends on it
extension=php_mysql.dll
extension=php_mysqli.dll
extension=php_openssl.dll
extension=php_pdo_mysql.dll
date.timezone = "ENTER YOUR TIMEZONE HERE"
session.entropy_length = 32
</code></pre>
</blockquote>

<ol start="4">
<li>I installed composer with php 5.6.18</li>
<li>I imported the <code>.httaccess</code> file located in the public folder using URL Rewrite Model in IIS. This step created a <code>web.config</code> file. Then I moved it to the public folder.</li>
<li>I converted my <code>Laravel</code> to Application in IIS</li>
<li>I added phpinfo.php file in the root of my laravel all and I was able to see it via the browser. </li>
</ol>

<p>But I can't access my laravel app.</p>

<p>When I go to <a href="http://localhost/laravel/public/index.php" rel="nofollow">http://localhost/laravel/public/index.php</a> I get an error</p>

<pre><code>HTTP 500 Internal error
</code></pre>

<p>I followed the blogs below to get where I am at now</p>
