Note Submitter: Luis D ---- This is just to clarify on a posting on this page that states the nescesity of allowing all unknown cgi Extensions in Windows 2003 IIS 6. Although this will work and it should be consider as a quick option for an itranet solution with no web access at all. This poses a very serious security problem and its not the best course of action, in my opinion. The proper way of making this work will be to actually enable the extension that you want to execute. After verifying that the .php extension is present, simply go to "Web Service extensions" in the IIS Manager and click on "Add a new web service extension"; Once the "new web service extension" opens: 1- Add the "extension name" field, please enter "PHP" (or what ever you wanna call it) Other more conservative admins will say call it what it is and always input ".php". Its up to you! 2-Click on the "add" button and browse to the php4ts.dll file on your c:\PHP (default) and then click open --> OK and set the checkmark under "set extension status to allowed" click OK and thats it!!! If you missed the checkmark moment cause you are just so impatient, like me, then simply select the extension on the web service extensions windows and click ALLOW. This is a very simple process and it will work everytime. I hope this helps, as I have found several things in this forums that are incredibly helpfull!! PS: For the non programmer, it is a good practice to install mysql and a free php forum like bb2 to test how well your php IIS and mysql is working.
