authorizing users in IIS6 and PHP4

acidburst

Greetings,
This is my first time using PHP and I must say I am thankful for forums like this.

I followed the instructions posted here here for installing PHP4 on a windows 2003 RC2 machine. What the tutorial assumes is that the reader understands the ISS webserver very well. I unfortunately do not yet.

after completing the steps above I attempt to launch a test.php (which is designed only to echo my php's version.) However, i see this page here instead: http://24.130.188.66/test.php

I am almost certain this has to do with security policies assigned, but I do not know how to set these up. I have spend the past day trying to understand the manual with little sucess.

Please help.

Just make sure at Step 4, you choose Default Web Site.
You are getting an ACL permissions error because you probably chose Web Sites.
There's no need to add a IUSR Account to php dir.

By running a gzip test to http://24.130.188.66/test.php the report is

Headers:
HTTP/1.1 401 Unauthorized

Content-Length 1608

Content-Type text/html

Server Microsoft-IIS/6.0

Connection close

Instead of

Headers:
HTTP/1.1 200 OK

Connection close

Date Sat, 18 Jan 2003 15:38:38 GMT

Server Microsoft-IIS/6.0

Content-type text/html

X-Powered-By PHP/4.3.0

hey thanks, i had a similar problem 🙂 i love you people and this board!!! 🙂🙂 Once I become elite, I gonna help others, too 🙂

I did exactly as suggested above. in fact, I even reinstalled the whole to make sure i did not make a mistake. After I finished configuring php and the webserver again, I launched it. I imediately was prompted for a name and password when attempting to access the test.php page.

I went to the site's property and disable window's intergrated authentication. This allowed me to view webpages, such as htttp:\24.130.188.66\please_wait.htm . However, i still cannot view http:\24.130.188.66\test.php or http:\24.130.188.66\hello.php or http:\24.130.188.66\hello2.php

I am losing my mind feeling a complete idiot. Is there anything i may need to add on drive C's Permision? How are the permissions suppoused to look? Maybe i messed some setting\account there?

Thank you for your reply guys.

Here goes folder permissions then
C:\inetpub\wwwroot
Files under wwwroot are all set to deny Write and Deny Special Permissions to IUSR_LOCALHOST.
You are getting the login prompt box because you need to select Default Web Site.
Right click Default Web Site » Properties » Home Directory and jump to Step 5 of the manual.
Do not forget to allow PHP under Web Service Extensions.
When you're done, go to command prompt and restart IIS by typing iisreset
Let me know if you're having any problems. 🙂

Here are the folders permissions

acidburst

thank you all for you replies. I have checked to make sure the default site is selected but no go. Here are some pictures of my status. Perhaps you could better spot something misconfiged better this way.

If you would like other images to see other configs please ask.
thank you

BTW: I noticed one interesting thing which I am not sure if matters. My PHP folder [C:\php] does not appear to have internet guest access because no Internet Guest Account has been created for it. Look here

Do i need to create one? How if i do?

No.
Odd indeed.
Are you running latest PHP version?
If not, try to install php 4.3.0.
About your config, it seems OK to me.
Hmm, edit your MetaBase.xml file, it should be inside WINDOWS\System32\inetsrv folder.
Search for

C:\php\sapi\php4isapi.dll

You should find 2 instances
1st one

1,C:\php\sapi\php4isapi.dll,1,,PHP

2nd one

.php,C:\php\sapi\php4isapi.dll,1

Notice 2nd instance, you should get a 1 after the path to the DLL, that means it's enabled.
Let me know how it goes on your system.

acidburst

okay, I have checked the metafile and this is how it looks

	WebSvcExtRestrictionList="0,*.exe
		0,*.dll
		1,C:\php\sapi\php4isapi.dll,1,,PHP
		0,C:\WINDOWS\system32\inetsrv\httpext.dll,0,WEBDAV,WebDAV
		0,C:\WINDOWS\system32\inetsrv\ssinc.dll,0,SSINC,Server Side Includes
		0,C:\WINDOWS\system32\inetsrv\httpodbc.dll,0,HTTPODBC,Internet Data Connector
		0,C:\WINDOWS\system32\inetsrv\asp.dll,0,ASP,Active Server Pages"

and

	ScriptMaps=".asa,C:\WINDOWS\system32\inetsrv\asp.dll,5,GET,HEAD,POST,TRACE
		.asp,C:\WINDOWS\system32\inetsrv\asp.dll,5,GET,HEAD,POST,TRACE
		.cdx,C:\WINDOWS\system32\inetsrv\asp.dll,5,GET,HEAD,POST,TRACE
		.cer,C:\WINDOWS\system32\inetsrv\asp.dll,5,GET,HEAD,POST,TRACE
		.idc,C:\WINDOWS\system32\inetsrv\httpodbc.dll,5,GET,POST
		.php,C:\php\sapi\php4isapi.dll,1
		.shtm,C:\WINDOWS\system32\inetsrv\ssinc.dll,5,GET,POST
		.shtml,C:\WINDOWS\system32\inetsrv\ssinc.dll,5,GET,POST
		.stm,C:\WINDOWS\system32\inetsrv\ssinc.dll,5,GET,POST"

No.
What about Directory Security?

acidburst

here it is

Notice I have disabled the "windows Intergrated Authentication."

When its enabled, nothing can be viewed by web surferes because they are prompted for a name and password.

acidburst

I would like to thank you all for your efforts to help me.

Members from Microsoft's IIS6.0 Newsgroup found the problem and fixed it!

For future reference, incase anyone else should find themselves in this situtation:

Make sure the php dlls under your sapi folder have the proper authentication for IIS_WPG

That was the whole problem :rolleyes:
