Problem:

User Web Site Extension "PHP" setting not being saved. When user tries to select PHP settings to 5.x, and clicks updates. The setting returns to 'None' after going back into the web site.

2. Windows Server 2003 Standard R2 SP2 x86 single server.DNP Portal, DNP Enterprise Server and DNP Server 2.6 all installed here.

3. SmarterMail 5.x, MS DNS, PHP 5.2, ActivePerl 5.10.0, .NET 1.1, .NET 2.0, .NET 3.0, .NET 3.5, MS SQL 2005 Express, IIS 6.0

4. No errors in Audit Log found

5. No errors found in Event Viewer.

Please note, reports without mandatory information will be ignored by DNP staff.

Optional information:

6. This issue is constant.Create a website using the joomla or wordpress (php applications). Those sites will still run. I checked in IIS Settings - Applications Configuration - Application Extensions, it has .php mapped to a correct path to php-cgi.exe on Verbs: GET,HEAD,POST.

7. Screenshots Attached.

8. Changes done before error appear. Reinstalled PHP as IIS CGI PHP. Was PHP-ISAPI previously. Changed because it did not work with applications before hand.

Thanks.

When you enable PHP for a website via DNP and click on save and then look in IIS Manager, is the mapping to .php made for that website? (Sorry, but this is not clear from your explanation).

Are you using regular CGI or FastCGI?

You said you reinstalled PHP. Did you use the installer or the zip file?

Which NTFS permissions do you have on the PHP installation folder? 

Did you update the path to the PHP executable in IIS Service settings in DNP after changing from ISAPI to CGI?

Don't know if the installer handles setting the correct NTFS permissions. The account (probably NETWORK SERVICE) under which your application pool runs should also have read/execute rights on the PHP installation folder. PHP will also need access to your Windows temp folder.
