It's not recommended to use IIS as server in production for Laravel, but why not in development.
However I suggest you to use Laragon.

Specifically what issue are you encountering. IIS is a good enough webserver and should be able handle PHP applications.
- Is the issue related to setup with the webserver and the application folder
- Is the issue related to your web.config
- Is the issue related to missing PHP dlls files
Please try to be specific as possible. Thank you

@eboansi Hello thanks for the response!
Its a all three, I set fastCgi module mapping to my php-cgi.exe , also set default document to be index.php, created a new website and set the path to public directory in Laravel directory. There is vey few information i could find on how to do this and they are using php 7 with old Laravel versions. i go from getting errors regarding folder/file not existing to "cant append permission" errors, which i give the permissions and it still doesn't work.
I just need to directed towards the right direction.

Hi @spurs2 I understand you are using the latest Laravel 9 and possibly the latest PHP However the set up should not be different to set it up on IIS with PHP 7 and older Laravel versions. So the information you find regarding PHP 7 should also apply
ok back to the specific error you received "cant append permission" Does this show on the browser as a laravel error? or you see this on the Windows file explorer.
If is a laravel error then possibly you need to make sure the user IUSR have access to the storage folder.
I was able install a fresh Laravel 9 application on IIS and see the start page. My system = IIS 10, Windows, PHP 8.2, Composer 2.3
Steps
1 - Open a terminal then cd into "C:\inetpub\wwwroot" iis application folder
2 - composer create-project laravel/laravel spurs-app
3 - Go to IIS navigate to default sites and create a virtual directory to point to your new app C:\inetpub\wwwroot\spurs-app\public
4 - Add a web.config inside the public folder
You can refer to this for web.config details https://laracasts.com/discuss/channels/servers/iis-8-laravel-webconfig
If the issue persist, try and paste the error text for better debugging.
