Thanks for your help! Could you please post this as a documentation page?

Can somebody test this to confirm that it all works and is easily followed before being added to the documentation?

So far it is working well. I had the regular 3.1 version of ezPublish running, so I installed PHP, shut down Apache, and configured IIS to run the ezPublish pages (using the version of php.exe compiled for IIS). I'll post more comments as I work with the new setup.

One comment about the URL format -- I'm trying to setup an automated login via querystring variables, and in IIS the format of the base URL changes (path moves into the querystring). Here are examples for each web server:

Apache:
http://localhost/index.php/testcms?uguid=RKKK29292YY&state=MI&department=MARKETING

IIS:
http://localhost/ez/index.php?/testcms&uguid=RKKK29292YY&state=MI&department=MARKETING

One other thing -- be sure to grant Write privileges on the var directory for the Internet Guest Account so that log files can be updated.

Yet another. You need to edit your search templates (standard or override) to adjust for the changes to the querystring. So, the standard URL strings (which pass the search text via querystring for pagination):

<a href={concat('/content/search/',$item_next|gt(0)|choose('',concat('offset/',$item_next)),'?SearchText=',$search_text_enc)|ezurl} class="body-copy">{"Next"|i18n("design/standard/navigator")} &gt;&gt;</a>

Use an ampersand instead of the question mark:
<a href={concat('/content/search/',$item_next|gt(0)|choose('',concat('offset/',$item_next)),'&SearchText=',$search_text_enc)|ezurl} class="body-copy">{"Next"|i18n("design/standard/navigator")} &gt;&gt;</a>

If you don't change the format of the querystring, you get a "no results found" message when navigating over search results pages.
