not sure,what code is causing it… it works fine on localhost using php -S 0.0.0.0:8080, but when I deploy to my microsoft sever with IIS 7 I get the error -

use \Psr\Http\Message\ServerRequestInterface as Request;
use \Psr\Http\Message\ResponseInterface as Response;

require '../vendor/autoload.php';

$config['displayErrorDetails'] = true;
$config['addContentLengthHeader'] = false;

$app = new \Slim\App(["settings" => $config]);

my web.config file loos like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<configuration>
    <system.webServer>
    	<httpProtocol>
            <customHeaders>
                <add name="Access-Control-Allow-Origin" value="*" />
                <add name="Access-Control-Allow-Headers" value="Content-Type,Request-Method,Authorization" />
                <add name="Access-Control-Allow-Methods" value="GET, POST, PUT, DELETE, OPTIONS, PATCH" />
            </customHeaders>
        </httpProtocol>
		<rewrite>
            <rules>
                <rule name="slim" patternSyntax="Wildcard">
                    <match url="*" />
                    <conditions>
                        <add input="{REQUEST_FILENAME}" matchType="IsFile" negate="true" />
                        <add input="{REQUEST_FILENAME}" matchType="IsDirectory" negate="true" />
                    </conditions>
                    <action type="Rewrite" url="index.php" />
                </rule>
            </rules>
        </rewrite>
    </system.webServer>
</configuration>

You likely dont have the proper PHP version installed on your IIS envrionment.

Please double check that it’s above 5.5+
