Doc Bug #50367 Incorrect setup instruction
Submitted: 2009-12-02 22:52 UTC Modified: 2009-12-18 06:20 UTC
From: chimel31 at live dot fr Assigned:
Status: Not a bug Package: Documentation problem
PHP Version: 5.3.1 OS: Windows 7
Private report: No CVE-ID: None

Description:
------------
On page http://us.php.net/manual/en/install.windows.iis7.php,
the following instructions do not work:

   To modify the permissions settings on files and folders,
   use the Windows Explorer user interface or icacls command.
   Example #5 Configuring file access permissions

   icacls C:\inetpub\wwwroot\upload /grant IUSR:(OI)(CI)(M)






Expected result:
----------------
Setup instructions should be straightforward, it is quite complex already (read unacceptable) to follow the manual installation instructions, compared to ActiveState Perl automatic setup.

Why is an "upload" subfolder necessary?
If it is required, there should be some instructions to create it.

Actual result:
--------------
icacld returns a "folder not found" error.

The "upload" directory was used as an example of how to update permissions.

The documentation does not say it's an example, it's part of step-by-step setup instructions
