Yep - on Windows Server 2003 (IIS6)

I have inherited a server with a load of apps running on it - so unfortunately I am stuck with this php installation.

Do you think this will cause an issue?

many thanks,

hi powlido,

I fear .. yes :) In this case best thing might be to sent Oliver an Email with some more infos, I can remember he has /had some patches to get phpwcms going on such systems, but I for myself can't remember me having ideas to get these things going on such systems ;)

How do I contact Oliver? - I tried to PM him but wasn't allowed.

Thanks again,

Hi All,

Had a quick email discussion with Oliver and it seems that phpwcms will work fine with both ISAP and CGI PHP installations.

I have made good progress since then (having ruled out the above) and have got the cms working.

It seems my problem was a permissions issue with IIS in the end!

Thanks all,

powlido
