Setup PHP server
I did this a while back but wanted to know if anyone has a quick guide to setting up PHP, MYsql for Vbulletin on Server 2008, or should I just follow the ones I've found already here
http://www.wampserver.com/en/ Thanks Mark |

No, you shouldn't use those "ready-made" packages. You'll find heaps of tutorials about this kind of thing on Google, but first you have to decide if you're going to use IIS or Apache or similar.

The last time I used Apache, but I'm tempted to go IIS this time. It's only really for my own usage, not as an alternative to my live forum.

If you're running Server 2008 - maybe give IIS a try. PHP can be installed as ISAPI module - the PHP Readme already has a guide included how to install it.

Must admit I had to mix a number of readme's to get MySQL installed and PHP configured, losts of conflicting info but went with one document in the end with a couple of minor amendments. Does anyone have a readme as to what users require access to the wwwroot/forum folder. I would imagine IUSR, IIS_USR and Network Service, but what permissions? Also noticed mysqldumper would not get past the first screen untill I added everyone (full control on the folder (don't worry this is not public). Just wanted to check it was server permissions Everything is up and running but I would ideally like to tie down permissions as 'priority' Thanks, Mark |

I have heard that running PHP as an ISAPI module is more stable and quicker than FastCGI (it used to be the opposite) on Windows boxes.
However, I have not done any testing myself as I don't play with Windows boxes. |

You can setup a special dedicated PHP user - using the "IIS Guest" user as template. Then you can run the website with the forum under this user account.

Yeah not bad that, always like the permission restriction but it doesn't actually say what permissions are required for the IUSR account which would help.

Read (not execute) permissions are enough - if it's a dedicated PHP user - filesystem based.
When storing attachments in the filesystem, create a directory outside your webroot and there write permissions are required. The same applies for the logging directory - if enabled in your VB settings. If you also use the builtin FTP server, create another user and give that one write access to the VB folders / files and finally - remove the other users like "Everyone" if set that except "Administrators" and the PHP user / FTP user have no access. |
