IIS 6 / PHP5 POST issue

Hello,

I have an IIS Server running PHP5. I have a page that accepts a POST and manipulates the data. It's extremely basic. The POST is sent by a SMS service that I have subscribed to, so I don't have access to it. My log file shows the following whenever that service trys to post to the designated page:

2006-10-24 20:56:07 W3SVC1 2XX.2XX.2XX.1XX POST /recieve - 80 - 6XX.1X.9X.5X - 404 0 2

When I create a simple client on my server and run it, it works. When I run a client off a different server, it also fails.

I'm not aware of any permissions that I might need to set in order to allow people visiting my site to POST, or if this error has something to do with the way the SMS service is posting.

Some help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I use PHP5 on IIS5 and 6 all the time, and there are no inherent problems with a form POST from a browser, so I'd be looking at the SMS side. I'm not familiar with SMS, perhaps there are some different syntax rules or something. Can you copy the html and try the same post from a browser? Do you get errors?

I wouldn't think it'd be any different. The service says they're just sending out a POST which the script I have parses. If anything, it's possible that they are posting in some way I haven't taken into consideration. Who knows...unforutnatly, they're not very prompt at getting back to me with that sort of information.

I've tried posting to my script myself, and it does work when I'm on the server...but if I try posting from another server it doesn't work. I have a feeling it might have something to do with permissions, but I'm not familiar enough with IIS to know what course of action to take or if it's even a possibility.

The SMS guys got back to me and have assurred me it's an error on my end. They get a failed to post message. Is there any way to give permission for people outside the network to post in IIS?
