satancisurferz Posted September 29, 2006 Share Posted September 29, 2006 Hello,I'm new to the PHP/MySQL world.I found a really cool open source Photo Album on the Web... and I tried to install it on my Windows 2003/IIS6 server.Everything went fairly fine.Now, I have one question.Is it possible to run PHP code using a different user than the anonymous one (IUSR_<MACHINENAME>)?Here's my problem.The images used in my photo album are stored in a folder on my server hard drive. Inside the photo album, there's a security management that can prevent users from accessing some images. However, to be able to create image, I had to give "MODIFY" access on my images folder. So, If users bypass the PHP code, they can access them by just typing the complete URL in a browser.In ASP.NET, we don't have to give access to the IUSR user since the user "NETWORK SERVICE" is used for running all ASP.NET code.I was wondering if there's something similar in PHP?Thanks!Pascal Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/22492-php-iis6-security-vs-iusr_-question/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
