VS.Php: redirection.config Error Cannot read...insufficient permissions

Posted July 2nd, 2009 by cpaukstis

New first-time install.
Dell Vostro 400 Core 2 Quad w/4G RAM, Vista x86 SP2 w/IIS7 working locally, PHP installed and working fine.
Downloaded 30-day trial of VS.Php 2.6 for VS2008 and installed. Many features seem to work fine.
However, using the New... "Local IIS Project" as per tutorial, as soon as I click OK on the initial New Project dialog, I get an error dialog complaining about being unable to read redirect.config (as in Subject: above). The project is NOT created - so far as I can find, NO files or folders get created. However, the VS2008 status bar says 'Creating project 'P'... project creation successful.

I Googled around for some info on redirect.config. Apparently it's an IIS config file that's used when "Shared Config" is enabled. Shared Config is DISABLED on the local IIS.

What's going wrong?

    Could you please try this build:

    http://svn.jcxsoftware.com/node/63

    Create a standard PHP 5 web project. Then under project properties->debug, select local IIS.

    Do you get the IIS wizard to show up? At what point you get the message?

    Are you running as admin or regular user? What OS are you using?

    Also, I assume you have IIS installed.

    Same Issue

    I installed VS.PHP 2 days ago and have been trying out a number of techniques to debug an instance of Wordpress.

    When I tried the Locall IIS Project feature, I got the same permissions error.

    Is there a current build that we can all try?

    I think I figured it out

    Found the file under

    C:\Windows\System32\inetsrv\config\redirection.config

    right click and select "Properties"

    Select "Security" tab

    Add IUSR with "Read, Read & Execute"

    Works fine for me now.

    Thanks for posting this

    Thanks for posting this info,

    Frankly, this work around does not make sense to me. The error is coming from the wizard which is running as the user. I would had expect the issue has to do with UAC. You need to run as administrator to do this.

    then again, I don't mess with this file so I don't know why you would get this error in the first place.

    Perhaps that's why I don't understand how your work around fixes the problem :)

    I guess I'll have to dig into this a bit more.

    But in my case, I don't get this error at all :)

    ANy solution for this?

    Still happening with 2.8 for VS2010. The solution of hand-changing the file attributes works as described.

    Are you admin on the machine? Is the machine is on a domain? What else could you tell me about your setup?

    I can't reproduce on my side at all.
