RE: [PHP-WIN] WebSite Professional and PHP...

> - hey Cory! come back! just kidding! - fact is I don`t know > the first thing about Website Professional, therefore can I ask... > are you in a position where you must use it instead of > Apache? (the upgrade is a tad cheaper than website professional). Yes. I *AM* in a position where I must use WebSite Professional rather than Apache. Several of the websites on the windows machine use iHTML which I have yet to get to work properly with Apache (on top of the fact that Inline Software, the manufacturer of iHTML refuses to even so much as release a beta of a version compatible with Apache2) O'Reilley Software produced WebSite Professional until 2000, when they spun it off to Deerfield Software, which no longer supports any version before 3.0, therefore I can't even get them to respond to my questions. We have a linux box, but would like to slowly migrate a few websites on the windows server to PHP, especially the database stuff simply because there is more open-source stuff available for databases under PHP than for iHTML. (especially the amazon stuff) Resources are fairly limited, (A P2-333 with 256Mb) so running Apache on the same server isn't really an option... Also, the main web designer connects to the server by simply accessing the drive, otherwise I'd dump him to Linux. > is it in fact running simple scripts but not fancy scripts? > If it does hello world, what does it NOT do? database > connections? file uploads? form data posts? what? Are > you aware of the globals=off default in 4.30? I've already checked that. It won't do anything even as simple as moving data between variables, forms (I was trying to do a very simple form script wich would take information from the URL and input it into the form automatically) And it DEFINITELY won't connect to my MySQL server. globals is set to ON in php.ini > Have you tried it as CGI rather than isapi module? There seems to be a memory leak in the CGI version. I also tried using just the exe, but that seems rather insecure to me. > You are forced into using NT4 also I presume.

I'm forced into using NT4 simply because the server doesn't have enough free disk space to bother with trying to install Win2K. The whole hard drive is set to allow everyone authenticated by the domain to do anything. Since we don't use any of the built-in windows internet services other than DNS, and the firewall blocks netbios access, it's fairly secure without bothering to increase security.
