Add the user INET_USER to the security permissions on all files you want to be viewable from a browser, and give read and read+execute permissions to the file.

Hi Chris,

 

Not sure how much help I can be without running a local version of IIS… It looks like you’re run Sharepoint on the same IIS server as PHP, we were doing this at my old company and had tons of issues, especially when upgrading to any form of PHP 5.  The company had a lot of MS support contracts, and they received an official answer that they didn’t support PHP on IIS, or at least with Sharepoint 2003.

 

There’s hope, but probably not from MS. ;[

Hello.

 

I have server 2003 IIS 6 Service Pack 2 installed. I just installed manually PHP 5.*. Whatever the latest version is. I had 5.* running fine on another server of the same caliber but can’t get past one error on this server.

 

There is some kind of permissions issue but I’ll be damned if I can find it.

 

Here is the scenario.

 

I have a web site with index.php as the main doc. When I access this a password box appears and no matter what user (admin user or other) I type in, it goes to a while blank page with very generic small font at the top says “Error: Access Denied”.

 

If I go into IIS and change the default App Pool to MSSharePoint (app pool) and then access the page, I then get the same password box. The difference is this time if I put in an admin users account info, the index.php site appears and runs perfectly.

 

I also have an index.htm file in the same site root path so that I can check permissions on the site. When I access this file (index.htm) with either the defaultapppool or the mssharepoint (app pool) selected, the index.htm file shows without a problem and does not ask for a password. So I know the site itself is set up properly for anonymous access.

 

I did put in the php5isapi.dll into IIS as the instructions read, obviously, or the php site wouldn’t run fine AFTER the mssharepoint apppool was selected so that I could log in.

 

I have added I_user and the everyone (user) to the site and to the c:\php folder with read, write, and well, at one point I set all the accounts to full permissions and it did not change a thing.

 

I referenced the other server I have that is running PHP without a problem and set all the user account info the same on this problematic server. But I still get this damn password box that will not allow me access when set to the defaultapppool, which is what it needs to be set at.

 

I even went to the extremes and made a completely new site, added php to it and set it all up and I still get the same password box. I don’t see any reason for it asking for an account to log in…everything is set to anonymous. IT IS DRIVING ME INSANE!!! Haha

 

I do not know if this is a php issue or if it is an IIS issue. The site works find with plain htm files, but the php’s always throw this password box access denied error, so I assume it is something with permissions or the set up of PHP.

 

Any ideas?

 

Thanks in advance!
