IIS6 + subdomains + enable php register globals

[saerdna]

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.

hehe.. :) i think .htaccess is for apache isnt it?

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

Sorry about the .htaccess. I ran apache before running IIS but used the same directory, so I've got tons of crap in my folders that shouldn't be there.

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.

omg i told u i want to enable register globals on some parts of the site not the whole site.

I thought there was an equivalent to the .htaccess for IIS...

its something .conf file or something like that i think
