    I've managed to get it running under 2000 Professional with IIS if anyone is interested?

      Hi Dan,

      I was wondering if you have any login problems? (http://localhost/phpwiki/index.php?pagename=PhpWikiAdministration&action=login).

      I was assuming that phpwiki could not be used on a Windows platform where the PHP server API is CGI. See also http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?thread_id=257279&forum_id=18928.

      Simon.

        Hi guys......what nightmare 9 hours in and I finally got it to build the start pages and it works ok (on win2k) except for:

        Login - comes up with a page saying no password supplied

        Get request to IIS - it seems not to want to complete the get and the page terminally loads (its functional but eventually I end up with more connections to the server active than allowed at any one time and I cannot request any more)

        Have you guys experienced the same problems?

        Chris

          Because of the current authentication method php wiki 1.3.2 will NOT work on Windows (where the server API is CGI).

          Simon.

          From the docs:

          One additional note about PHP: if PHP is installed as an Apache module on the Linux/UNIX platforms, there are additional global variables available to your PHP script:

          $PHP_AUTH_USER -- Authenticated User name
          $PHP_AUTH_PW -- Authenticated Password
          $PHP_AUTH_TYPE -- Authentication Type

          Additionally, your PHP program can force Apache to prompt the user for a username and password with the following PHP commands:

          header('WWW-Authenticate: Basic realm="My Private Stuff"');
          header('HTTP/1.0 401 Unauthorized');
          echo 'Authorization Required.';

          From then on, your application logic can decide how to respond to the user. Note that on the Windows platform, PHP is installed as a CGI, and these features are therefore not available.
