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.

    • Refined dock and bug fixes land in latest Elementary OS 8 updates by David Uzondu If you're running Elementary OS 8, there's a new round of updates available, bringing some neat enhancements, particularly to its signature Dock and the underlying window manager, Gala. If you are not familiar, Elementary OS positions itself as a polished alternative to Windows and macOS. It runs its own custom desktop environment called Pantheon, with Gala handling all the window management magic, like animations and how windows behave. In the new update, the Dock gets some notable new tricks, including the return of a couple of features that old-school Plank (the Dock's foundation) users might remember. For starters, the Dock now shows multiple indicator dots beneath an app icon if you have more than one window open for that application, which is useful for quickly seeing what is running. Plus, if you are dragging something and hover over an app icon in the Dock, it will cycle through that app's open windows, making it easier to drop your item into the right place. You can also now long-press an app icon to bring up its context menu, a nice touch for those who prefer that interaction. The elementary OS team also squashed some bugs related to hide modes and memory usage, keeping things running smoothly. Gala itself recently got a massive update, addressing around 20 reported issues and introducing a brand new Gesture Controller. This means users can now swipe up in the Multitasking View to close windows, a slick and intuitive gesture. App titles are now always shown in Multitasking View, a significant improvement for touchscreen users. Users also get notified when they take a screenshot with a keyboard shortcut, and this notification lets them jump straight to the image in Files. Some other welcome Gala improvements include saving window states on sleep and shutdown, and fixing an annoying bug where menus might only show once. For gamers, a fix for Lutris Flatpak installations causing Gala to crash with GE Proton setups will be a relief, and users of the Postman app will be happy to know that window captures for it are no longer partially rendered. Shifting back to Elementary OS 8, in System Settings, choosing light or dark mode properly snoozes your schedule instead of outright disabling it. The Reduce Motion setting has been expanded to cover a wider array of animations, which is a blessing for folks prone to motion sickness. Hotcorners got some fixes too, and there is a new option to keep them active even when an application is full screen. Other notable updates include added screen reader support for notifications and the shortcut overlay, fixes for Flatpak sandbox issues that affected apps like Steam, and the latest version of GNOME Web, which brought better performance and a redesigned bookmarks sidebar. You can download all these updates by opening System Settings, heading to System, and hitting "Update All."

    • It seems I was wrong. Modifying the registry manually does not have an effect at all, even after restart. Just use ViveTool for now. I'm going to need to investigate this...
    • Just a small addition - If you're running the command from Powershell, the syntax is: ./vivetool /enable /id:41073112
    • The weak US Governments and DoJ have never been good enough at regulating greedy giants like Apple and Microsoft. These companies want your money yet they will take away your useful features and choices too to sell you the "next upgrade" and no Govt acts against that.
