How to (test) run(ning) executables on server

Post by contrafibul »

Dear all, as I probably lack basic PHP working knowledge, I hope my question is laughably simple to answer.

In order to get bibutils (conversion tools) and refbase (a web-based database) to work on my local webserver, I need to be able to run executables from the server.

My stuff:
* Windows XP Professional
* Web server: IIS 5.1
* PHP 5.3
* Database server: MySQL 5.1 Essentials
* PHPMyAdmin 3.3.3

IUSR has full permissions and safe_mode setting in php.ini is off, but all I get are validation errors for bibutils (otherwise refbase is working fine). The advice I received (link: http://sourceforge.net/projects/refbase ... dex/page/1) is to try running simpler executables to clearer refine what it is I'm troubleshooting.

How should I go about?
