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.

A major new feature is the introduction of full translation support, allowing the application interface and tweaks to be localized into multiple languages. Initial translations include AI-assisted German and Polish versions, a community-contributed Turkish translation, and Simplified Chinese. Users interested in contributing translations or adding new languages are encouraged to participate via the forum.

Several important bugs have been resolved. The installer now correctly removes the driver during uninstallation. Tweak definitions have been cleaned up for better consistency. A number of networking issues were addressed, including failures related to network shares and incorrect handling of mapped drive letters. It is now required to use full UNC paths for defining rules involving shared resources. Additionally, configuration persistence issues on system shutdown have been fixed, as well as problems affecting protected folder visibility and rule precedence involving enclave conditions. Finally, the underlying driver code has been refactored, laying the groundwork for better maintainability and future enhancements.

    • OpenAI responds to The New York Times' ChatGPT data demands by Pradeep Viswanathan The New York Times has sued OpenAI for the unauthorized use of its news articles to train large language models. As part of the ongoing lawsuit, the NYT recently asked the court to require OpenAI to retain all ChatGPT user content indefinitely. The NYT's argument is that they may find something in the data that supports their case. Brad Lightcap, COO of OpenAI, wrote the following regarding the NYT's sweeping demand: OpenAI has already filed a motion asking the Magistrate Judge to reconsider the preservation order, since indefinite retention of user data breaches industry norms and its own policies. Additionally, OpenAI has also appealed this order with the District Court Judge. Until OpenAI wins its appeal, it will be complying with the court order. The content defined by the court order will be stored separately in a secure system and will be accessed or used only for meeting legal obligations. Only a small, audited OpenAI legal and security team will be able to access this data as necessary to comply with our legal obligations. As of early 2025, ChatGPT has over 400 million weekly active users, and this data retention order will affect a significant number of them. OpenAI confirmed that ChatGPT Free, Plus, Pro, and Teams subscription users, and developers who use the OpenAI API (without a Zero Data Retention agreement) will be affected by this order. ChatGPT Enterprise, ChatGPT Edu, and API customers who are using Zero Data Retention endpoints will not be affected by this court change.
