IIS 7 on 2008r2 shows blank page

Question

I am using IIS7 on Windows Server 2008r2. I have recently installed php and IIS. I am trying to browse to the index.php but it returns a blank page. It loads the favicon and the header of my page. When I load an info.php file it is not blank.

If I disable Anonymus Authentication it the same index.php returns IIS 7.5 Detailed Error - 401.2 - Unauthorized.

What is strange is I installed this exact code onto another fresh IIS install I just did and it loads fine. Permissions for the directory are the same for both.

This Microsoft KB article is for IIS7, but works for 7.5 as well. I would recommend making your way through the article, and if your problem persists, please provide some screenshots of the errors (either in browser, or IIS log)

You also might want to just open a command prompt and type 'iisreset /force' to see if that resolves the issue. If not, go through the article mentioned above.

Let me know if you need any more information, or if that didn't help!
