Note Submitter: dieter at schuele dot name ---- Took me two days to make PHP run under Windows Server 2003 SP1 IIS 6. I got 404, 401.1 and 401.3 Thanks so much for all your helpfull comments! What helped me to get it worked: (1) manual php isapi installation as described e.g. in http://www.benmardesign.com/IIS_PHP_MYSQL_setup/php_setup.html (2) Find out in IIS under what AppPool you site is running. Then find out what user is listed under the idendity tab for that AppPool in IIS. Give this user (e.g. Network service) as well as IUSR_WPG and IUSR_MACHINENAME EXE/READ rights RECURSIVLY (use 'advanced' button) for complete php directory (e.g. c:\php) and its subdirectories. Also give EXE/READ rights for those users on c:\windows\php.ini and c:\windows\php4ts.dll Good luck!
