Studio Edit Layout Not Working

[amears1]

I am running SugarCRM version 4.5.1e on IIS6. It is a new installation.

When I go to edit a layout I can save & Publish the layout, both edit, detail, and list view, but the main entry screen does not accept the changes.

For instance.

I modified the Edit View and Detailed View for my Cases. If you create a new case, that layout has not changed; however if you edit or view a case the layouts have changed.

Any Help?

You are most likely running your IIS PHP in CGI mode. You need to switch to ISAPI mode.

Here is a website I use to do this.

I tried switching to ISAPI mode, and made sure I had the necessary dll's and security permissions, but whenever I try to acess the site I get 500 Internal Server Errors.

Any ideas?

PHP working with IIS uses c:\winnt\php.ini

It doesn't matter what you set the path to, nor what you set the PHPRC environment variable to. After you get PHP running correctly in the installation folder (using php -i) copy the php.ini file into the c:\winnt folder.

Here's what worked for me:

- Add PHP path to System environment variable

- Add php5activescript.dll from http://snaps.php.net/ to the PHP folder, then Register it: "regsvr32 php5activescript.dll"

Set extension_dir and doc_root directives in PHP.INI:
extension_dir = C:\WWW\PHP\ext
doc_root = C:\WWW\Site
cgi.force_redirect = 0

(the last cgi.force_redirect isn't required, but I like to set it anyway)

Copy the .INI file into WINNT folder

In IIS Manager, right-click "Default Web Site", Click "Home Directory",
Click "Configuration", "Add" the ISAPI application:
Executable: <your php install>\php5isapi.dll
Extension: .php
Limit to: GET,HEAD,POST
Check: "Script Engine"
Uncheck: "Check that file exists"

Finally: Set up an ISAPI filter:
Click the "ISAPI Filters" tab,
Filter Name: PHP
Executable: <your php install>\php5isapi.dll

Notes: You don't have to set any of your folders as "Script source" folders. .PHP files aren't scripts, merely text files that require processing before being shipped off to the browser, which is what the ISAPI filter does.
