raman Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 I have a PHP script containing the function exec which works fine in PHP 4 in IIS 7 on Windows 7. However this function does not work in PHP 4 in IIS 5 on windows server 2003. But I have to make it work there because that is what we have on our web server. Can someone provide a solution?

Muddy_Funster Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 Why do you think this is a PHP problem, when your PHP version is the only constant here? I would suggest looking over the IIS5 configuration and checking the runtime implememntation of PHP and the permissions that it is granted. IIS7 and IIS5 use different implememntations of the CGI/FastCGI runtimes for scrip languages, and servers have more restrictive runtime permissions that desktops do.

raman Posted March 12, 2012 Author Share Posted March 12, 2012 I am sorry for the mistake in the question. Actually the PHP version with IIS 7 is PHP 5. Infact, PHP 4 was not compatible with IIS 7 and Mysql 5 which I have. That's why I think that this is a PHP problem. This page provides some clues: http://php.net/manual/en/ref.exec.php However I did not know how to give rights of read and execute for the cmd.exe file to the IIS user.
