Php5 Iis6 W2k3

Currently I am using PHP5, IIS6, W2K3.

All drive letters below are fictional. It is the idea that I am after.

The php.ini file is located on my local drive. However, the InetPub where my scripts are located is on another drive. Assume that my local drive is K:\ then the php.ini file is in K:\Windows since this is W2K3. Now InetPub where my scripts are located is let's say on drive L:\. Lets, assume that my scripts are in a folder called Test on drive L:\. So, it looks like:

L:\InetPub\wwwroot\Test

Localhost is linked to drive L:\. So, when I go:

localhost/Test/test.html in my address bar

It works. HTML files are no problem. But php files are not recognized. Perhaps I need to point the PHP interpreter to InetPub on the L:\ drive somehow.

When I work with one drive with PHP5, IIS6, W2K3 it works fine. I always change the cgi.force.redirect to 0 and place it in my Windows directory on that one drive. Then I add PHP to the Path environment variable. Then I add the .php file extension in IIS6 and point it to php-cgi.exe. Don't worry about FastCGI for now. It always works with php-cgi.exe.
Then I add the web service extension to IIS6. And that's it it works like a charm. Now I have my InetPub and Home Directory on a different drive (on the same machine) for my scripts then where the php.ini file is located. This should not make a difference in my eyes because I am still setting the .php file extension to point back the local drive where php-cgi is K:\php\php-cgi.exe. I know there is a small fix somewhere, but I cannot find it. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks.

I suspect you need to add some permissions to the folder holding your scripts.
