php4 on IIS

[Anon]

Hi,

I have installed php 4.0.2 on IIS 5.0. PHP is working fine, but when I want to run
a command through PHP it gives a Access Violation Error.

I have a java class file which does some thing and returns some values.

What I am doing is running the java file from php and assigning the output to a
variable.... Its the following way.

$myVar = `java myClass'

But this gives an access violation error on IIS.
Where as it runs fine on Apache on Linux.

Please give me some input on this.
Is there some setting to be done in IIS, or change something in the
PHP.ini file. Please let me know.

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

I don't really get the line:
$myVar = `java myClass'
but I guess, in some way, you're executing that java prog.
I assume, your're running PHP in ISAPI-Mode, which doesn't allow system calls such as 'exec' or 'cmd'. Try CGI mode (mapping .php files to php.exe rather than setting the PHP filter and mapping PHP files to PHP4ISAPI.DLL).
In case you are running in CGI-mode, check access rights to your java application in IIS.
