I have the same problem!

Is it possible that it is a permission problem?

Hi there,

I use IIS 7 in combination with Windows 2008R2, but have the same issue. I tested it also with WAMP, but got the same results. Now i had the following idea.

If phpipam uses ping.exe to scan the network, than I suspected indeed an permission issue. IIS uses the IUSR account for servicing websites. The IUSR account doesn't have access to ping.exe and this is also not possible because it is in an system folder (System32), same for WAMP.
So ping.exe and cmd.exe should be copied to another location and give the IUSR access or similar to those files.

But on the other side, it is not smart to give an anonymous user access to cmd.exe on the server.

Is there an workaround for this issue?

Thanks in advance!

Hmm this is a show stopper.

Nobody got the solution yet ?

My next question is it preferable to run it on Linux , will the IP Ping scan work?

Thanks

Is there a fix for this? I'm having the same problem and REALLY don't want to build a linux box just for this.
