oh yeah, the hotfix didn't even manage to install cause it said some file in service pack 2 was newer or something so that wasn't a prerequisite for my solution above.

This worked out fine, been using it pretty religiously for about 4 days now. Though I'd love to know why it wasn't working under IIS.

My solution: http://www.wampserver.com/en/

So far so good on win2k server, win2003 server and win2k3 on VMware.
Small issue with GD but nothing a restart doesn't fix.

I don't understand why you (your company, actually) are avoiding Apache - you don't need to pay for it, it's reliable, fast, it works on so many hosting servers worldwide, blah blah... so far it is the only safe and reliable way for you to run activeCollab because the solution for this PHP bug seems unavoidable. Can't you even use it as a temporary solution, until someone finally says "eureka" and solves the weird problem we are dealing here?

Oliver Maksimović:
I've been looking for a solution for this problem, too, but so far didn't get any results.

What about setting Apache to work on separate port, other than the one which IIS is using? IIS is using default port 80 (most likely), but you can have both servers running as long as they are using different ports.

That way you could have both IIS and Apache working at the same time, meaning that you would be able to use IIS as a web server for your company's regular work and having Apache on custom port - running activeCollab (http://youractivecollab:8080, for example).


This would certainly work (in theory) but unfortunately, I don't think installing Apache will be an option for us. I wish it was!

Any resolution to this issue. I have the same problem. Sits at 'public/index.php/login?re_route=homepage' -- I see that your link works now:) How did you get this fixed? Any help eternally appreciated.


No progress. We need to form a support group!

I'm stuck at the "blank white page" at the link you refer to above. With the silence on the thread, I've stopped researching it. After 6 hours or more digging through the php.ini and trying everything under the sun, I think the only solution is to use Apache. Unfortunately, that's not an option for me here at my company.

Keep me posted if you solve it... I'll do the same.

1) I've made recommended modification to my php.ini file as follows:
Turned off cgi.force_redirect (set equal to 0)
2) I've also checked permissions on the PHP directories and ensured that IUSR has proper access to the site and PHP.
3) Changed from CGI to ISAPI for PHP execution.

In my review of the php.ini file I noticed that almost all of the php extensions were still commented out. Here's what's in my file. Does anyone see any extensions that i might need to have in there for this to work properly?

Part two of this question is do I need to restart IIS whenever a change is made to php.ini or will it take effect immediately?
