IIS6 + subdomains + enable php register globals


Question

How do i create subdomains in IIS6 ?

let us say i have a domain, foo.com wich leads to c:\inetpub\wwwroot then i want foo1.foo.com directed to c:\inetpub\wwwroot\dir\dir\foo1

I also wonder if its possible to enable register globals (php) on some parts of the site, my old pages uses register globals and i dont have time to recode them now. its possible in apache so it should be possible on IIS too :)

Subdomains - I dunno. I'll mess around and see tonight.

register globals - I dunno either (helpful, aren't I :p). Although something like .htaccess might do the trick. I've gone through all my code and made it able to work without globals being global. It's a pain, yes, but it needed to be done.

Yes in apache it is the httpd.conf file... on linux. but with iss you have to screw around with the active directory settings. Are you running dns or is it just like a server running off your home pc. Because microsoft makes it somewhat complicated. The domain must be added to the DNS and then an account has to be configured for it. When i say domain i mean subdomain as well because they are somewhat autonomous.

just think of each subdomain as seperate from the domain, meaning it will have to have its own user and permissions on the server. Either way, my advice, format the drive, install redhat 9.0 and use apache because with iis your begging to get rooted :p

just my 2 cents

register globals is enabled from within the php.ini file. Look for the line:

register_globals = Off

and change it to:

register_globals = On

This said, it is highly recommend , for security reasons, that you find time to modify your code so that you don't have to do this.

Hope that helps.

i'm not 100% certain about this but with regards to the subdomains you could try creating a new website and then set the Host Header for it to your full subdomain ( e.g. subdomain.domain.com ) you can also specify the root folder of this site to what ever you want.

i've never tired this myself so there may be some finer points to this setup.

    • Here's my scenario: I have an intel i5-10600 based system using a Gigabyte Z590 Aorus master motherboard with an EVGA GeForce GTX 1070 (non-TI) graphics card. The PC has three monitors, 2 x Dell SE2717H/HX and an older Samsung monitor. The monitor configuration is Dell SE2717H - Samsung, Dell SE2717H. (1) The left Dell monitor is connected to the 1070 by via DP out on the 1070 (DP to DVI adapter connecting DVI to HDMI cable) going to HDMI input on the monitor. (2) The center Samsung is connected to the 1070 via HDMI output on the 1070 to HDMI input on the monitor itself. However I have a HDMI duplicator connecting the Samsung monitor to a NanoKVM box. Will explain this more in a moment. (3) The right Dell monitor is connected via a DP to HDMI cable. It's connected to DP out on the 1070 and HDMI input on the monitor. When the PC is powered on, the right (3) monitor is the default monitor showing the BIOS and POST screens before booting into Windows where the center Samsung becomes the primary monitor. I have the Samsung set as the primary in Windows, but that obviously doesn't affect the BIOS/POST. I had swapped the right Dell and center Samsung thinking the monitors were dictating the settings, but when I reconnected them, the Samsung was on the right, it still remained the priority monitor during BIOS/POST time. So I reverted those changes. I followed the EVGA card port priority per this official EVGA page ( https://www.evga.com/support/faq/FAQdetails.aspx?faqid=59560 ) which indicates the following priority of ports: - DVI - HDMI - DisplayPort (middle) - DisplayPort (far right) - DisplayPort (far left) With the DVI port not in use, I verified the center Samsung monitor was on the HDMI port on the 1070. The left Dell monitor was connected to DP (middle) and the right Dell monitor was connected to DP (far right). However during BOOT/POST, the right Dell remained the priority. I created all sorts of combinations of moving the center Samsung to the middle DP port (using DP to HDMI adapter), for the higher priority # and moving the left and right Dell monitors to far right and far left DP ports. However the right Dell monitor remained the BOOT/BIOS priority default. Why does this even matter?? The reason I'm trying to solve this puzzle is because I recently purchased a NanoKVM PCIe card that gives full BMC access to the BIOS and visuals via HTML5 web interface to pre-Windows boot time. In the event I need to troubleshoot when I'm away from home. The NanoKVM has an HDMI input port so it can grab the screen and share it via the HTML5 built in portal on it's remote IP access. Because the NanoKVM isn't multi-monitor aware, it's designed to only display the monitor that it's plugged into in the video card so I can see the  boot /BIOS screens and the Windows default monitor. Because there is no HDMI passthrough on the NanoKVM, I purchased a HDMI duplicator/splitter (NOT an extender).   This HDMI extender connects to the HDMI output on the 1070. My center Samsung monitor is connected to splitter output port #1 with a standard HDMI cable and the NanoKVM is connected to splitter output port #2 with a standard HDMI cable as well. When I disconnect both Dell monitors and leave this setup connected to HDMI, it works flawlessly. When I connect the left Dell monitor to the above far left DP port on the 1070, the setup still works great as the center Samsung still remains the default/priority. But when I connect the right Dell monitor to the far right DP on the 1070, the right Dell becomes the default/priority monitor during BOOT/POST time. This results in the NanoKVM not having access to/displaying the contents of the right Dell when it's priority during BOOT time, but once the PC boots into Windows and it's the default monitor/port, the KVM displays that just fine then. However, this defeats the purpose of needing the KVM which is to provide access to the BIOS and boot menu settings in the event of an emergency while I'm away from home. Any idea on what I'm doing wrong? Do I need to replace the center Samsung?? Different monitor / adapter cables??? Do I need to upgrade the video card? I have a 980Ti, but per the EVGA docs, the port priority is the same for it as the 1070. Thoughts?? Suggestions???
    • I've had the Ryzen since it first went to market. I've had Windows 11 since beta testing it in the early days... Ryzen worked just fine, Windows didn't... so, not sure what this "four years" it is you're referencing since you're not specific as to who fixed what.
