note 98158 added to install.windows.iis7

The documentation on this page is incorrect.  Please note that this is NOT a bug report as it's just a minor oversight in the documentation on this specific page of the manual.

Specifically, the second line of Example #3 will throw the following error on IIS 7:

ERROR ( message:Cannot find SITE object with identifier "path='*.php',verb='*',m
odules='FastCgiModule',scriptProcessor='(path-to-PHP)\php-cgi.e
xe',resourceType='Either']". )

It took me several hours to figure this one out, especially since the error message is itself misleading.  Basically, this is occuring because the documentation has a space before the "path=" portion of the command.  This might seem harmless enough, but since the documentation also doesn't enclose the entire section in double-quotes, appcmd assumes that the space means you're trying to reference a separate object identifier.

If you encounter this problem, this fix is insultingly simple:  Just remove the space between "name='PHP_via_FastCGI'," and "path='*.php'".  Either that, or you can just enclose the entire section in double-quotes, but since the space is superfluous anyway, it would make more sense to simply remove it.
