Description
How do I host a PmWiki website on Internet Information Services 10? e.g. for Windows 10.
Prerequisites

- ensure your domain name is registered to your external static IP address
- ensure your router is configured to forward traffic on port 80 to your server machine

Site basic settings

Site advanced settings
Instructions
These instructions were based on Windows 10 home, therefore Windows Server Manager was not available, IIS Manager is used.
- click to install PHP on Windows using the Microsoft Web platform installer
Create folders for your website on the server,
\\The-server\home\website\
- install or copy your PmWiki website to (say)
\\The-server\home\website\pmwiki\
Note: physically this is a directory such as D:\home\website\pmwiki\
.

Set site's specific application pool identity
The site specific application pool identity looks like this "IIS AppPool\TheSite
"

Set website to use application pool identity

Website folders permissions

wiki.d
folder permissions IIS configuration from IIS Manager
- right (context) click in the Connections pane
- choose the Add Website action
- IIS uses anonymous authentication for PmWiki website users. From the IIS site entry
- open Authentication
- select "Anonymous Authentication" and then "edit ..."
- select "Application Pool Identity"
You may wish to configure the website
- set default document (to
index.php, index.html, or pmwiki.php
) - turn compression on (or off)
- disable (or enable) directory browsing
File Permissions
Ensure the "virtual application pool identity"[1][2] (IIS AppPool\WebsiteAppPoolName
) permissions are set for the folder in which your pmwiki.php
or index.php
resides.
The defaults values of "Read & Execute, List Contents, Read" are sufficient.
For the folder wiki.d
add to the "virtual application pool identity" (IIS AppPool\WebsiteAppPoolName
) permissions "Modify, Write".
If you wish to enable uploads add the "virtual application pool identity" (IIS AppPool\WebsiteAppPoolName
) permissions "Modify, Write" to the folder uploads
.
Notes
If you copied your PmWiki site from elsewhere you may have to delete the .flock
file in the wiki.d
directory.
To increase the file upload size above 30MB ensure that
- in
config.php
you have set$UploadExtSize
for the extensions required (eg$UploadExtSize
['jpeg'] = 12000000; # limit .jpeg files to 12MB - using IIS Manager open request filtering, choose edit feature settings, and change the Maximum allowed content length (Bytes).
- to save file user
iisreset /stop
from the command line, then save file, theniisreset /start
,
- to save file user
