Windows 2000
IIS 5.0
MS4W 1.2.1
Chameleon 2.2
PHP 4.3.11
MapServer 4.7
PhpPgAdmin 3.5.4 (if using postgresql/postgis)
Postgres 8.0.3 (if using postgresql/postgis)
Postgis 1.0.3 (if using postgresql/postgis)

This setup assumes that MS4W was unzipped to form c:\ms4w\ directory.

Php.ini file:

• session.save_path (absolute path to your tmp directory)
• extension_dir (relative path to your php/extensions directory)
• cgi.force_redirect = 0
• enable the pg_sql extension (php_pgsql.dll) (for Postgresql)

Internet Services Manager

Under your website tree, create a new website (e.g. msprojects). View the properties for the new website.

• Web Site Tab: set the IP address and under the Advanced tab put the complete Host Header name (e.g.msprojects.gc.ca).
• Home Directory Tab:
-content should come from: A directory located on this computer.
-Local Path: c:\ms4w\Apache\htdocs
-Read access + whatever else you need
-Execute Permissions: Scripts only
-Configuration button - App Mappings (Add extensions .php and .phtml, Executable is c:\ms4w\Apache\cgi-bin\php.exe,select All verbs, Script Engine, and check that file exists

• Documents Tab: Add index.phtml and index.html
• Directory Security Tab: Anonymous access amd authentication control: Select Anonymous access and the edit button should indicate the IUSR_ account
• Server Extensions Tab: Enable authoring is selected and client scripting says Javascript

Under the tree for your new website - add virtual directories for:

• cgi-bin - under Properties, virtual directory tab Local Path should point to c:\ms4w\apache\cgi-bin. Select Read. Execute Permissions should say "scripts and executables"
• ms_tmp - Under Properties, virtual directory tab Local Path should point to c:\ms4w\tmp\ms_tmp. Select Read, Write. Execute Permissions should say "scripts only". This is where temporary images are written to so in the File system Security tab (use windows explorer), the c:\ms4w\tmp\ms_tmp directory should have permissions set for the Internet Guest Accounnt (Read and execute, Read, Write, List Folder Contents).
• tmp -Under Properties, virtual directory tab Local Path should point to c:\ms4w\tmp. Select Read, Write. Execute Permissions should say "scripts only". This is where chameleon writes sessions to so in the File system Security tab (use windows explorer), the c:\ms4w\tmp directory should have permissions set for the Internet Guest Accounnt (Read and execute, Read, Write, List Folder Contents).
• chameleon -Under Properties, virtual directory tab Local Path should point to C:\ms4w\apps\chameleon\htdocs. Select Read. Execute Permissions should say "scripts only". Under the Chameleon tree, you can add virtual directories for admin (c:\ms4w\apps\chameleon\admin\htdocs), samples (c:\ms4w\apps\chameleon\samples\htdocs), cwc2 (c:\ms4w\apps\chameleon\cwc2\htdocs)
• phppgadmin - (if using postgresql/postgis) Under Properties, virtual directory tab Local Path should point to C:\ms4w\Apache\htdocs\phpPgAdmin. Select Read, Write. Execute Permissions should say "scripts and executables". Under Documents - add index.php. Please note that We had to unzip the phppgadmin package into this directory in order to get phppgadmin to show us the login page at http://yourserver/phppgadmin/index.php. You might want additional security on this directory.
• gmap -Good for testing purposes. Remember to change your mapfiles as discussed in Mapfiles for IIS below. Under Properties, virtual directory tab Local Path should point to C:\ms4w\apps\gmap\htdocs. Select Read. Execute Permissions should say "scripts only".

Test PHP:

In a command line window, navigate to c:\ms4w\apache\cgi-bin and run php -i. This should return the output that the phpinfo() function returns. I got an error about how it couldn't find ntwdblib.dll. I found this in c:\ms4w\apache\php\dlls and I copied it to the cgi-bin directory.

Mapfiles for IIS:

• Add a config line to the MAP level of the mapfile:
  CONFIG PROJ_LIB "path/to/proj/nad/"
  e.g. CONGIG PROJ_LIB "c:\ms4w\proj\nad\"


• change the IMAGEPATH to be an absolute path to your tmp/ms_tmp folder
  e.g. IMAGEPATH "c:\ms4w\tmp\ms_tmp"

Configuration files:

For Chameleon:
C:\ms4w\apps\chameleon\config\chameleon.xml
C:\ms4w\apps\chameleon\config\cwc2.xml

For phppgadmin: (if using postgresql/postgis)
C:\ms4w\apps\phpPgAdmin\conf\config.inc.php
