Hi Chaps, I'm setting up a PHP App on a new SBS2008 Server. My scripts use MKDIR, RENAME, etc, which I believe use the Windows Command Prompt by default to perform these functions. On my existing server, I have added IUSER to the security settings, but I am unable to do this on the new SBS2008 Server. I have read that it is advised against giving such permissions to 'Guests' to the CMD.EXE, so my question is how do I get around this. If PHP uses CMD, but I cannot grant permissions to, what was IUSER, how can PHP perform these actions? Cheers
Not 100% sure of this, but in my experience then php often performs command-line actions under the "apache" user. I have never used a windows server before either, but it sounds like you might be looking for the php function system(). This function lets you run command-line operations like "mkdir" and "rn" and I assume that it would do the same on a windows machine. Hope this helps.
