This instruction assumes the following locations for components and Passwork:

• Passwork location — C:\inetpub\wwroot\passwork
• PHP8.3 location — C:\Program Files\php8.3
• Passwork website name in IIS web server — Passwork Web Site

Preparation

Open PowerShell as "Administrator":

Using the Start context menu

1. Right-click on the Start icon in the lower-left corner of the screen.
2. Select "Windows PowerShell (Administrator)" from the context menu.

Using the Start menu

1. Left-click on the Start icon in the lower-left corner of the screen.

3. Open PowerShell as "Administrator" using the shortcut — Ctrl + Shift + Enter

To check the Passwork location and website name, you can run the following code:

PowerShell

# Import the module
Import-Module WebAdministration

# Get the list of all sites in IIS
$sites = Get-Website

# Output header
Write-Host "`n--- List of sites in IIS ---`n" -ForegroundColor Blue

foreach ($site in $sites) {
    Write-Host "Site: " -NoNewline -ForegroundColor White
    Write-Host $site.Name -ForegroundColor DarkGreen
    
    # Get Bindings
    Write-Host "  Bindings:" -ForegroundColor DarkCyan
    foreach ($binding in $site.Bindings.Collection) {
        Write-Host "    - Protocol: " -NoNewline -ForegroundColor Gray
        Write-Host $binding.Protocol -ForegroundColor White
        
        Write-Host "      Address: " -NoNewline -ForegroundColor Gray
        Write-Host $binding.BindingInformation -ForegroundColor White
    }
    
    # Get physical path
    $physicalPath = (Get-WebConfigurationProperty -Filter "system.applicationHost/sites/site[@name='$($site.Name)']/application[@path='/']/virtualDirectory[@path='/']" -Name physicalPath).Value
    Write-Host "  Physical path: " -NoNewline -ForegroundColor DarkCyan
    Write-Host $physicalPath -ForegroundColor White
    
    Write-Host "------------------------------------" -ForegroundColor DarkGray
}

Obtaining current version of Passwork

Create a temporary directory to receive Passwork:

PowerShell

New-Item -Path "$env:WinDir\Temp\update_passwork" -ItemType Directory

danger

If the server with Passwork is located in a closed network, you need to go to the Passwork Customer Portal and manually obtain version 7 and move it to the server in the directory named — C:\Windows\Temp\update_passwork\passwork.zip

Go to the Passwork Customer Portal and copy the API key to obtain the current version:

Create the API_KEY variable:

PowerShell

$API_KEY = "your_api_key"

Check the available Passwork version from the client portal using the copied API key with the request:

PowerShell

Invoke-RestMethod -Uri "https://portal.passwork.pro/api/version?apikey=$API_KEY" -Method Get

Correct output

PowerShell

response
--------
@{last-available-version=07xxxx}

danger

Make sure that version 7 of Passwork is available for download — 07xxxx

Download version 7 of Passwork with the request:

PowerShell

try {
    (New-Object System.Net.WebClient).DownloadFile(
        "https://portal.passwork.pro/api/download?apikey=$API_KEY",
        "$env:WinDir\Temp\update_passwork\passwork.zip"
    )
    Write-Output "Passwork archive successfully obtained"
} catch {
    Write-Output "Error obtaining Passwork: $_"
}

Clear the API_KEY variable:

PowerShell

Remove-Variable API_KEY

Updating to current version

Get the current Passwork version into a variable:

PowerShell

$version = Get-Content "$env:SystemDrive\inetpub\wwwroot\passwork\version"

Copy the Passwork configuration file to a separate directory:

PowerShell

Copy-Item -Path "$env:SystemDrive\inetpub\wwwroot\passwork\app\config\config.ini" -Destination "$env:SystemDrive\inetpub\wwwroot\"

Create an archive of the current Passwork version for rollback possibility:

PowerShell

Compress-Archive -Path "$env:SystemDrive\inetpub\wwwroot\passwork\*" -DestinationPath "$env:SystemDrive\inetpub\wwwroot\passwork-$version.zip" -Force

Delete all contents from the Passwork directory:

PowerShell

Remove-Item -Path "$env:SystemDrive\inetpub\wwwroot\passwork\*" -Recurse -Force

Extract version 7 of Passwork to the physical location:

PowerShell

Expand-Archive -Path "$env:WinDir\Temp\update_passwork\passwork.zip" -DestinationPath "$env:SystemDrive\inetpub\wwwroot\passwork\"

Download rewrite rules (web.config) and place them in the new Passwork version — $env:SystemDrive\inetpub\wwwroot\passwork\public\web.config

web.config

Registering PHP and activating extensions

Import IIS modules and register the PHP version:

PowerShell

Import-Module IISAdministration
Add-PsSnapin PHPManagerSnapin

New-PHPVersion -ScriptProcessor "$env:ProgramFiles\php8.3\php-cgi.exe" -SiteName "Passwork Web Site" -VirtualPath "/"

Activate PHP extensions for the Passwork website:

PowerShell

$extensions = @(
    "php_curl.dll",
    "php_gd.dll",
    "php_gettext.dll",
    "php_intl.dll",
    "php_ldap.dll",
    "php_mbstring.dll",
    "php_mongodb.dll",
    "php_mysqli.dll",
    "php_openssl.dll",
    "php_pdo_pgsql.dll",
    "php_pdo_sqlite.dll",
    "php_pgsql.dll",
    "php_soap.dll",
    "php_zip.dll",
    "php_fileinfo.dll"
)

foreach ($extension in $extensions) {
    Write-Host "PHP extension activated: $extension"
    Set-PHPExtension -Name $extension -Status Enabled -SiteName "Passwork Web Site" -VirtualPath "/"
}

Activate additional PHP methods for the Passwork website:

PowerShell

$phpVersion=(Get-PHPConfiguration -SiteName "Passwork Web Site" -VirtualPath "/").Version
Set-WebConfigurationProperty -PSPath "IIS:\Sites\Passwork Web Site" -Filter "system.webServer/handlers/add[@name='php-$phpVersion']" -Name "verb" -Value "GET,HEAD,POST,PUT,DELETE,PATCH"

Delete the temporary directory containing the version 7 Passwork archive:

PowerShell

Remove-Item -Path "$env:WinDir\Temp\update_passwork" -Recurse -Force

Set permissions for the physical Passwork location:

PowerShell

Invoke-Expression "icacls '$env:SystemDrive\inetpub\wwwroot' /grant 'IIS_IUSRS:(OI)(CI)`M'"
Invoke-Expression "icacls '$env:SystemDrive\inetpub\wwwroot' /grant 'Users:(OI)(CI)`M'"
Invoke-Expression "icacls '$env:SystemDrive\inetpub\wwwroot' /grant 'IUSR:(OI)(CI)`M'"
