Hello,

I am very new to PHP and MySQL I have just installed the latest PHP, MySQL and Perl on a Windows 2000 Advanced Server machine - NTFS format.

I am able to open test PHP webpages, such as phpinfo, and I am able to work with MySQL from the command line. I am also able to execute CGIs from the command line and web.

I have tried installing PhpMyAdmin but when I try accessing it, Windows pops open a box for 'Enter Network Password' and I cannot access the page unless I use my Administrator login info. I have verified that my ini files are not in unix format and I have given IUSR read/execute privileges to C:/php, C:/mysql and E:/perl and the files within through IIS and through Windows Explorer.

If I cancel the Login box, I get:
HTTP 401.1 - Unauthorized: Logon Failed
Internet Information Services

If I enter a username and password other than Administrator, I get:
HTTP 401.3 - Access denied by ACL on resource
Internet Information Services

What am I doing wrong? I am guessing that I should not have used Windows explorer to set permissions for IUSR. If this is the case, will someone tell me what permissions these files and directories are supposed to have through Windows?

Thanks!

UPDATE:
I removed Windows Security from /php, /mysql, and /perl. Now If I try accessing the page, I get:

HTTP 401.5 - Unauthorized: Authorization by ISAPI or CGI application failed

Internet Information Services

Technical Information (for support personnel)

Background:
The address on the Web server you attemped to reach has an ISAPI or CGI program installed that verifies user credentials before proceeding. The authentication credentials used to connect to the server were denied access by this program.

    I am having the same problem, the site is prompting for a username/password for any PHP pages, but loads htm files fine.

    Please help someone!

    I check the mapping and it is correct.

      3 months later

      File permissions for php.exe, php4ts.dll, php.ini are probally set incorrectly stopping the anonymous internet user ISUR_<machinename> from accessing them.

      At least thats what fixed it for me.

      /sigh I just wish i could convince them to stop useing IIS =/

      Oh well.. .thoes that write the paychecks make the decisions =)

      Laeelin

      ps: I konw this is an old message, but I ran into the error today, and saw this in my search for what the error was.
