Author Securing IIS against PHP

Hi,

I'm using a windows 2003 and IIS 6.0, I've installed php on the server, but
I'm not sure that it's secure. As this is a shared hosting server, I'm
afraid of hack attacks using PHP. Is there any way to secure IIS agains PHP
scripts?


Thanks
Iman

You are asking about how to secure PHP, which from an IIS perspective is
just another web application. I suggest you contact PHP
support/newsgroup/forums on the correct way to secure php in general, and
then apply it to IIS. The IIS6 installation is secure, but what you have
done as an administrator afterwards -- that is now your responsibility.

This is the same logic as if you wrote a program that runs on Windows --
would you ask Microsoft how to secure configuration for your own program, or
would you determine that yourself?
