I normally develop PHP projects on a Windows PC (WAMP) and then upload
the stuff to Linux/Apache/MySQL4.x/PHP4.x
Now I have to install a content management system on PHP 5 where the
server is Windows NT CS-PORTAL 5.2. The client owns the server, and
refuses to open a commercial web hosting account (as do all my other
clients).
phpinfo() doesn't return $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] which has me
wondering how many changes I'm going to have to make in my CMS in order
to get it to run on an NT server?
TIA. My news client crashed while posting this the first time. Please
excuse any resulting double-post. 3 1942

Exactly two.
1. Run grep (or another search and replacement utility) and
change all occurences of $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] in your
code to a configuration variable, say, $docroot.
2. In your configuration file (you probably have one),
define the $docroot:
$docroot = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'];
This will be your default definition you will use for all
your clients. For the client you are having trouble with,
change this line manually to something like:
$docroot = 'C:/Inetpub/www';
Alternatively, check the output of phpinfo(); there may
be something usable in the $_ENV variable...
The lesson: don't expect environment variables to be there.
You don't know where your software may end up tomorrow. Set
defaults using environment variables, but be open to changing
settings during implementation. ..
Cheers,
NC

Dunno, do you habitually use absolute paths in your programming?

Is your client willing to install Apache 2? From my own experience PHP is
always somewhat flaky on IIS.
But to answer your question, it wouldn't be that hard to get it to work on
IIS. The following are variables provided by the ISAPI module:
"AUTH_PASSWORD" ,
"AUTH_TYPE" ,
"AUTH_USER" ,
"CONTENT_LENGTH ",
"CONTENT_TY PE",
"PATH_TRANSLATE D",
"QUERY_STRI NG",
"REMOTE_ADD R",
"REMOTE_HOS T",
"REMOTE_USE R",
"REQUEST_METHOD ",
"SERVER_NAM E",
"SERVER_POR T",
"SERVER_PROTOCO L",
"SERVER_SOFTWAR E",
"APPL_MD_PA TH",
"APPL_PHYSICAL_ PATH",
"INSTANCE_I D",
"INSTANCE_META_ PATH",
"LOGON_USER ",
"REQUEST_UR I",
"URL",
Not on the list are DOCUMENT_ROOT, SCRIPT_NAME, and SCRIPT_FILENAME . This thread has been closed and replies have been disabled. Please start a new discussion. Similar topics |
