Description:
------------
I installed 5.1.4 and 5.2 latest, both as isapi and after that as CGI (not in the same time :)). In each instance, I have a php file located in 

c:\www\sites\mysite\phpinfo.php

and the IIS virtual directory for this is
http://locahost/my/phpinfo.php

With this setup, I get Page Not Found if I try 
http://locahost/my/phpinfo.php

However, if I rename either the filesystem directory from mysite to my, or I create a virtual dir with IIS name mysite instead of my, the php page is found and runs OK.

So, 

c:\www\sites\mysite\phpinfo.php
http://locahost/my/phpinfo.php
DOES NOT WORK (page not found)

c:\www\sites\mysite\phpinfo.php
http://locahost/mysite/phpinfo.php
WORKS 

c:\www\sites\my\phpinfo.php
http://locahost/my/phpinfo.php
WORKS

Sorry, but your problem does not imply a bug in PHP itself.  For a
list of more appropriate places to ask for help using PHP, please
visit http://www.php.net/support.php as this bug system is not the
appropriate forum for asking support questions.  Due to the volume
of reports we can not explain in detail here why your report is not
a bug.  The support channels will be able to provide an explanation
for you.

Thank you for your interest in PHP.

If I remove the .php extension from IIS, restart the service (so basically I take php out), then this combination works as it should be:

c:\www\sites\mysite\phpinfo.php
http://locahost/my/phpinfo.php
(I can see in browser the content of the phpinfo.php which is served as plain text)

   The only explanation is that once the IIS fires the php isapi dll, this one cannot locate the script file if the virtual directory name is different than the name of the directory in the filesystem. This looks like a bug to me, even if the guys at support would tell me that there is a workaround for that (the obvious one being that I should rename one of the directories so they match).

rename the dir.
