I have been unable to get Windows Server 2008 running on my Vmware server to test this further. For now I recommend using WampServer 2+ for the Bridge.

If you are already using IIS or another HTTP server, simply change the port something not in use by another service.

This can be done by changing the "Listen" directive in the Apache config file. The default for all HTTP servers is port 80.

Change

Code: Select all

Listen 80
to

Code: Select all

Listen 90
or some other port if that one is in use. Restart the service and try to access the site at

http://localhost:90/

If there is a conflict the Apache service will not start.

I appreciate your efforts. But getting it working under IIS is my requirement. I cannot switch servers. So I will struggle along as I have more time to work on it. In the interim I will continue to work with Apache.

Success! It turned out to be a combination of some permission issues and some settings in the included class php files. When I get to the office tomorrow I will post up the exact changes I had to make.

Chris for some reason when it was checking WINDIR to see if it should execute br32.exe it instead was trying to execute brlinux. That is why there was not output. Once I got that fixed by removing the check against WINDIR, so it just was forced to execute br32.exe, then I had some permission issues. I now have those resolved. So your examples are working under IIS using FastCGI and PHP!

Excellent! I want to know all the details of how you got that working.

That check for WINDIR is really supposed to check whether you are running on Windows. I'll find a different, more reliable way.

Hi, Steve. In your original post you wrote:

"I am attempting to get the demo of the Scripting Bridge to work with IIS 7.0 using the PHP_via_FastCGI Module. It appears to execute after getting some permission issues resolved"

Can you describe those issues and how you resolved them? I believe we are having those issues...

Hi Mikhail
Yes I have been meaning to do a writeup on what I did.

Until I have that done, if you could post up your specific issue I will try to give you a suggestion.

Couple of things. Make sure that the "IIS_IUSRS" user has rights to the folder where your trying to run BR.

Also make sure your PHP is running br32.exe. The demo php script was trying to run the Linux version because something it was checking for didn't match to make it think it was windows.

Check that and let me know

Is anyone out there still using the Scripting Bridge?

My code I used previously to work IIS no longer works. I can get IIS to fire the BR executable but it just hangs. Any ideas why it might hang. Nothing in BR logs.
