Hi,
I've installed PHP5 (FastCGI) on IIS6 and is just wondering which windows user PHP uses to access the file system?
With ASP.NET for example, the ASPNET account is used to access the file system. But how about PHP?
I've read some post that suggest it uses the anonymous (i.e. IUSR) account. But isn't it a security breach if I give write access to the IUSR account?
Thanks!
