php yang run dalam IIS, support session ke?

True, I ran PHP (CGI Module) with IIS6 Win 2003 about 3 weeks ago and it doesn't seem to support sessions after the page is redirected. However, on IIS5 Windows 2000, you shouldn't have a problem if you've given the appropriate permission to the session folder specified in php.ini

I'm still playing around to get the sessions to work with IIS6, but if anyone already knows the solution, that would be great. Thanks

try this : http://www.phpbb.com/kb/article.php?article_id=54

or try this : In Forum Configuration, goto the "Cookies" section and rename the cookie file by adding a "2" (no quotes) to the end, ie;
From: phpbb2mysql
To: phpbb2mysql2

FYI, web server doesn't have anything todo with PHPbb session.

good luck!

Actually, the web server has something (a lot actually) to do with sessions (in general). Without these sessions working with the web server, you won't get a session however your try. You can try and modify a script a million times, but it still won't work if the web server isn't accepting the session correctly. Apparently, in IIS6, it doesn't seem to accept PHP sessions correctly. If baddai is using an Apache web server, then it should be no problem, but if he's running of an IIS6 web server, he's going to run into problems.

The above post was a bit off topic...

[DingDang]

i am using IIS5 (at home), IIS6 (at office) and OmniHttpd (on my notebook) without any problem whatsoever regarding PHPnuke and PHPbb session . and my "FYI" is for PHPbb session and not for session in general

IMHO, PHPbb session, or any session, was created by the script, and if the script sucks, the output is sucks. don't blame the webserver

here, at http://www.phpbb.com/kb/article.php?article_id=54 , no explaination whatsoever regarding the webserver. and bare in mind that this is the official PHPbb article.

[out of topic] what do you mean by "still won't work if the web server isn't accepting the session correctly"? how do you differentiate between "accepting the session correctly" and "not accepting the session correctly"? unable to write to cookies? unable to manipulate the url? the ip? i just need some understanding here.

Relax... I said my post was a bit off topic... I was replying to Ben-davis post about IIS sessions. Please don't misinterpret what I was saying. Your post about fixing 'PHPBB' session was excellent.

What I was trying to convey was that there are issues with PHP sessions on IIS6 - please note, when I say IIS6, I am refering to IIS6 on Server editions of Windows, such as Windows 2003. This session problem will not effect the standard desktop edition of Windows running IIS6 such as WinXP Pro.

The problem is like this.
For example, in your php.ini, the session folder is set to, lets say, C:\PHP\sessiondata. In the destop edition of windows, php shouldn't have any problems writing to this 'sessiondata' folder because in these destop edition windows, it does not require special permission to write to certain folders.

However, in the server edition of windows, only user groups that have write permission to the 'sessiondata' folder will be able to write to that folder. In Windows server edition, an internet guest user has its own group called IUSR_[MachineName]. By default, this user group does not have permission to read or write to the 'sessiondata' folder. Without this permission, it will not be able to write and therefore the server does not accept/recognize the session.

However, if you use Apache with Windows 2003, you don't get this problem, because Apache doesn't use Window's permission - IUSR_* for internet guests.

However, with baddai's original questions, I think your post would have solved his 'Invalid Session' problem. I read the article and it's excellent.

Sorry if I caused any misunderstandings. No hard feelings

now that really clear out the situation. i am using PHP with windows 2000 advanced server - and play around with PHPnuke with it without any problem... i don't have windows 2003 atm, so i can't test it out.

[white_neck]

btul dingdang... aku test run kat windows 2000 mmg takder prob lem sbb dier iis5... tp kater sufyan pun btul gak... iis6 tak support session... solution yg dingdang kasi pasal cookies tu bleh pakai gak...

kalau susah sgt run jer kat apache... kan senang...
