Our websites are on a central storage unit. We use UNC to access the files (\\server\folder\file)
With PHP3 everything worked fine.
Now we're trying to install PHP4 but it seems, that it doesn't like UNC fileshares. We've made some testing and the script is executed if it resides on a local drive. From the UNC share, IIS is reporting a CGI Error and if I try to start it directly with perl.exe from the command prompt there is no output. The same script on a local drive works.

Can you explain what perl.exe has to do with it?

UNC paths, are they supported?

AFAIK, no. I fear it would be serious PITA to support them too, though I might be wrong. If someone who know how UNC pathes behave will look on this, maybe we'll support them.

Did I say I hate Windows file naming system?

I totally agree with him...

I wanted to change it to feature request, but the bug
system does not allow this.
