xWebAdministration

Code of Conduct

This project has adopted this Code of Conduct.

Releases

For each merge to the branch master a preview release will be deployed to PowerShell Gallery. Periodically a release version tag will be pushed which will deploy a full release to PowerShell Gallery.

Contributing

Please check out common DSC Community contributing guidelines.

Installation

From GitHub source code

To manually install the module, download the source code from GitHub and unzip the contents to the '$env:ProgramFiles\WindowsPowerShell\Modules' folder.

From PowerShell Gallery

To install from the PowerShell gallery using PowerShellGet (in PowerShell 5.0) run the following command:

Find-Module -Name xWebAdministration | Install-Module

To confirm installation, run the below command and ensure you see the DSC resources available:

Get-DscResource -Module xWebAdministration

Requirements

The minimum Windows Management Framework (PowerShell) version required is 4.0 or higher.

Note: In the CI pipeline the resource are only tested on PowerShell 5.1, so PowerShell 4.0 support is best effort as this time.

Examples

You can review the Examples directory in the xWebAdministration module for some general use scenarios for all of the resources that are in the module.

Examples

Registering PHP

When configuring an IIS Application that uses PHP, you first need to register the PHP CGI module with IIS. The following xPhp configuration downloads and installs the prerequisites for PHP, downloads PHP, registers the PHP CGI module with IIS and sets the system environment variable that PHP needs to run.

Note: This example is intended to be used as a composite resource, so it does not use Configuration Data. Please see the Composite Configuration Blog on how to use this configuration in another configuration.
