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.

    • Of course the sales are bad. Who even asked for a thinner phone with way less battery? Lightness? It's still a giant brick, it's just a thinner giant brick. It makes no sense at all. Making folding phones thinner, now that does make sense. Because when folded, the thinner it is unfolded, the more usable and pocketable it is when folded. You already expect worse battery at expense of actually being more pocketable. Galaxy Flip, when folded is half the size of S Ultra models and about as thick. That does make a big difference when fitting it in a pocket. But the phone that's as big as Ultra, making it thinner, you don't really solve anything, it's still a giant slab that barely fits into a pocket. All the "Mini" phones made way more sense than this thin crap. Especially now that it's literally impossible to find a phone smaller than 6.5". My dad only needs phone for calls and SMS and he doesn't want to go with smartphone because they are all so massive. Especially cheaper ones. Like, he'd be fine with Galaxy A06 for all he cares in terms of hardware, but it only comes in giant 6.7" format. It's useless. Or is he suppose to find a 800€ old gen iPhone Mini or Zenfone? He doesn't even need those stupid specs and such stupid price. And then you see old people fumbling around with giant smartphones and they don't even need 3/4 of features on them.
    • its funny now instead of robots built for a specific task which is more efficient we are focused on humanoid robots that are built for do anything but might not do it as well because of restrictions similar to how human body works and they were molded after...
    • 3,900 mAh. When compared to the S25 Ultra (5,000), the S25+ (4,900) and the S25 (4,000), it has the worst battery of them all, all because of that slim size. Everything comes with sacrifices.
