Hi,
We have our Drupal running on Win 2003 IIS server. We are trying to install CAS module and it seems we need to have phpCAS installed first before that. I would really appreciate if I could get some help on how to do that.

The server type shouldn't matter. You may not have the phpCAS code in a place that the Drupal CAS module can find. Or, the case of your folder name is wrong (that shouldn't matter in windows). Start from the beginning:

  1. Go to http://www.ja-sig.org/wiki/display/CASC/phpCAS+installation+guide and download the latest phpCAS package (CAS-1.0.1.tgz).
  2. Unzip it and you will have a folder called "CAS-1.0.1."
  3. Rename the new folder to "CAS".
  4. Copy the new CAS folder into the Drupal CAS module folder (into modules/cas).

You now have something like sites/all/modules/cas/CAS as a folder structure. Just to clarify, the lowercase cas folder is the Drupal CAS module, which in turn contains another, uppercase CAS folder with phpCAS files inside. The drupal module can now find and use the phpCAS code.

If I don't have this just right, I get a white screen of death—with the CAS module enabled.
