    Has anybody successfully gotten all of aMember working on Windows/IIS?

    I need to do this.

    Thanks,

    Steve

    Unfortunately, aMember was designed for Apache webserver. It will work well on Windows with Apache.

    On IIS, it will work as well, but all methods of folder protection will not work. You may try to use "htpasswd" along with the following IIS component:
    http://www.troxo.com/products/iispassword/
    Of course, it is only possible if you own and manage this webserver.

    Thanks. Unfortunately, it's a shared server account that I don't have full access to.

    I can't seem to find any shared hosting provider that offers apache on windows.

    Folder protection?

    Alex,

    I realized I might not completely understand what folder protection means?

    Does this mean that I can control which user groups can access a folder?

    So, if they're not in the right "group", they get some message saying that they need to upgrade?

    Thanks,

    Steve

    Yes. And it will also ask for usename / password and validate it when visitor opens your protected URL.

    If the user is already logged in and tries to go to a protected URL (that he has permission to), does he still get asked for username/password?

    Of course, no, he won't be asked.
