Marking as documentation problem Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-04-30 07:29:56] christoph.grottolo@gmx.net In IIS you can check the option 'check that file exists' in the IIS Admin interface on the panel where you enter the file extensions (.php -> c:\php\php.exe). Then IIS will check the permissions and open the file for php. The anonymous webserver account (usually IUSER_MACHINENAME) must have appropriate permissions on the remote share. If not IIS will check if the remote user is a domain user with permission to access the share, but this only works if the remote user is in the same or in a trusted domain AND uses MSIE AND NTLM authentication is enabled in IIS. PHP as CGI in IIS starts on a local account and cannot access remote shares itself. I've been asked questions about this issue quite often, maybe the correct settings should be explained in the manual.
