IIS5 does not accept PHP4

jotjot

i'am having problem viewing my php pages which is in an IIS5 server.

when i type in the address at a browser it is always asking for a network username and a password. I think there's a problem with my IIS5, because when i type in the username and password my php page will show up and my script will be running.

Can somebody help me with my IIS5 how can i view the php pgae without being asked for a certain username and password

thanks a lot

Hi Jonathan,

I haven't experienced your exact problem, but I've been running PHP4.0.6 on IIS5 for some time now with no hassles.

Just a checklist of things to umm... check:
1. Are you using the ISAPI module or the CGI version? php.net says that the ISAPI module is not yet production quality, but I say it's fine, and it's heaps faster than the CGI version.
2. Do you have a Scripts virtual directory set up off the web site folder? If you're running the CGI version, you must have a VD named Scripts which points to C:\Inetpub\Scripts, and it must have the Read, Run scripts, and Execute permissions. I think if you're running ISAPI, you need all the above except for Execute.
3. You need to set the Application Protection to Low (IIS Process) for the Scripts folder, and also the web site folder (In the home directory tab).
4. You need to enable anonymous access (under the directory security tab).
5. The anonymous internet user - usually IUSR_<machinename> - needs to have access to the C:\Inetpub\Scripts folder, and it's contents. Also this user needs access to the web folder itself, and it's contents.
6. Have a look at php.ini, it's in the C:\Windows\ or C:\WinNT folder. It may have some authentication settings that may be stopping you (shouldn't tho).
7. Can't think of a 7th point right now... I'm tired. 🙂

Hope that helps...

yes, i'am using an ISAPI module do I have to create a script folder like C:\inetpub\wwwwebfolder\scripts and put my php pages in here coz i'am not using CGI

i think the last solution here is that where i can find this Application Protection so I can set it to Low?

sir thanks a lot for helping me

Go to the Microsoft Management Console from your Home -> Program Files -> Administrative Tools -> Internet Server Manager

Beware of making priv changes to the /Scripts directory. Things like the CodeRed virus depend on the availability of Script and an unpatched IIS configuration. Don't just allow anonymous execution of everything in the /Scripts folder. LOOK at what's in the folder and if you don't need it then change it's permissions or remove the item from the directory.

Use the Microsoft Updater to get your IIS install up to date.

Right click on the web site, click Properties, click the Home Directory tab.

You should see Application Protection at the bottom - set it to Low (IIS Process).

Kudos to Bill for pointing out the security implications of allowing access to the Scripts directory - he's quite right. Just make sure you're all up to date with your patches, and generally be careful...
