    I have several problems when trying to run the plugin on a client’s website that is installed in a Windows server.

    When attempting to do a complete scan, the page refreshes to a 500 Error page.

    If you attempt a quick plugins folder scan for example, it seems to work. But when you try to fix the files using the plugin, the website stalls in the Examine Results modal.

    The server administrator says they are willing to make any changes to the PHP installation, what would you suggest?

    Wow! It’s been years since I have seen my plugin running on a Windows server. I know it used to work fine on IIS and I’m not sure what might have changed but I’d love to have opportunity to help you figure out why it’s not working and fix it so that it will once again work on a Windows IIS server.

    Can you please send me the relevant entries from your error_log files which will have the detailed error messages and point me to the code that is causing this issue?

    You can email those files directly to me if you don’t want to post them on this public forum:

    It turns out that this is not actually a problem with IIS or the Windows server, but rather something else on this website that is not allowing the posting of arrays. As I have a couple of circumstances that require submitting array variable, I have inserted workaround for this issue in my latest plugin release. You can now click on the little red X button to close/remove the array options on the settings page that would have otherwise prevented you from saving or scanning. Also, if threats are found and the Auto Fix form will not post that array of files to be fixed, you can click a new button to Go Back and Try Again which will change the form method from POST to GET. This seems to work around the issue of not being able to POST arrays, at least until you can figure out what is preventing you from posting array in the first place.
