Actually doc_root WAS the problem. As per this thread: http://forums.iis.net/t/1154314.aspx

You can't have doc_root set in php.ini if you're going to have multiple sites. I still had to have a separate config directory, but not having doc_root set allowed each site to have its own document_root which was correct.

Ok, so I made a copy of the config directory in the subdirectory, and as I suspected, it's loading the index page of the root directory, only without the graphics and styles because the path is different, and none of the links work. Does the doc_root somehow override the home directory setting??

If you have config in the subdirectory that has access to the root folder of the main site, you'll have to A) Either have a specific config for the sub-directory, or have a separate folder. I wouldn't use a different port, I'd use a host-header on port 80. Make sure also the new site
Home Directory property is configured to c:\inetpub\wwwroot\commercial

Subdirectory as another site ?

We have an internal website that runs a php application. I am adding a new feature in a subdirectory that I want to expose to the internet. My thought was that I would make a website that runs under a different port, like 84, then port forward from the router. I am running IIS 6 on SBS 2003. So I created a new website and pointed it to the subdirectory of the other site, but when I pull it up it acts like it's loading the index file of the root site, not the subdirectory. In the code, I'm loading a config file based on the document_root, but that fails because it's looking in the subdirectory for the config file. Here's the structure so hopefully this will make more sense:

Root web site

--index.php

\config\config.php

\commercial\index.php

Commercial website (same path on disk as commercial subdirectory of other site)

index.php

The code is:

require($_SERVER["DOCUMENT_ROOT"] . "/config/config.php");

When I load the page I get this:

Fatal error: require() [function.require]: Failed opening required 'C:\Inetpub\tracker\commercial/config/config.php' (include_path='.;c:\php\includes') in c:\Inetpub\tracker\index.php on line 3

Now I could change the code so it loads the right path instead of the document root, but it's not loading commercial/index.php, it's loading the root index.php. So what's up with that? Is there another, better way to do this??? Thanks for any help.
