Note Submitter: gencheff at gmx dot de ---- Adding DOCUMENT_ROOT to IIS I don't think, that I'm the only fool, who ever had to take an existing PHP application out of a fully working Apache environment and make it run under a silly IIS, only to find, that this product relies on the server variable $DOCUMENT_ROOT. As the IIS does not deliver this server variable, the app won't run. If you've got administrative privileges on the IIS machine, you're in luck, coz I found a simple workaround. PHP lets you specify a auto-prepend (and append-) file in the .ini file: "auto_prepend_file". You can create a, say, document_root.php and place the following code into it: <? global $DOCUMENT_ROOT; $DOCUMENT_ROOT="<path to the root of your webserver>"; ?> Now you edit your php.ini and set auto_prepend_file to point to your document_root.php. Bob's your uncle.
