• Download non-thread based PHP 7 from windows.php.net. (I used version php-7.1.5-nts-Win32-VC14-x64)

  • Uncomment and set: cgi.force_redirect = 0
  • Uncomment and set: fastcgi.impersonate = 1
  • Uncomment and set: extension_dir = "ext"
• Add ;C:\PHP to Windows Environment PATH Variable: Control Panel > System > Advanced System Settings > Environment Variables > System Variables > Path

  • If you get Windows pop-up prompt with error "php.exe - The program can't start because VCRUNTIME140.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem." - Download and install Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 Redistributable (x64).
