Hi!
In the past I used IIS 5.1 with Windows XP for my home development of websites. Now I upgraded to Windows 8, which uses IIS 8 as far as I know. For IIS 5.1 I configured the session_save.path in the php.ini to "C:\Inetpub\sessiondata" and ajusted the following write access for this directory:
IUSR_MYPC: full access (reading and writing) - my PC's name is "mypc" - so "IUSR_MYPC" was the IIS-User-Account.
Now I set up the IIS 8 like this, but when I want to ajust the rights for the user "IUSR_MYPC" there is no such user. Does anybody know what's the new name for the IIS-user-account? I also tried to ajust the session_save.path in the php.ini to "C:\PHP" (where PHP is installed to) - but it doesn't work either.
I want to configure PHP 5.3.3 with MySQL 5.0.24. Sessions simply don't work. When I start PHPMyAdmin and log in, nothing happens. Sometimes I get the advice to check the session_save.path settings (sorry, I don't remember the warning exactly...)
Can anyone help me? Thanks!
