permissions issue

Discussions of secure PHP coding. Security in software is important, so don't be afraid to ask. And when answering: be anal. Nitpick. No security vulnerability is too small.

permissions issue

Post by JasonTC »

On my IIS server, I have a handful of PHP files. I'm the author of all of them. Most of them I can view with no problem, but the one I uploaded most recently causes a login screen to pop up. Any idea how to fix this?

Thanks,
Jason

Sounds like the directory is protected. Check the .htaccess file in the directory.

There is no .htaccess file in the directory.

I believe (If I remember correctly) the file is hidden.

Sorry I'm not really up on IIS configuration. If the login screen is opening in your browser then it's most likely a configuration with the server. Either that or there are some authentication headers set in the file?
