Hi Sergey,

Mongoose doesn't set the temporary directory environment variables and when 
running php scripts on Win7 and Win8 the temp directory is being set to 
"C:\Windows". This results in errors as user doesn't have write permission 
to that directory due to UAC security features. Mongoose should set the TMP 
or TEMP environment variable to fix it (in my case I've set all three just 
to be sure: TMP, TEMP and TMPDIR). On windows you can use the 
GetTempPath()<http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa364992(v=vs.85).aspx>function.
 This will return a string like 
"C:\Users\%USER%\AppData\Local\Temp\".

Unfortunately if user's name contains unicode characters then this won't 
work with PHP, as php doesn't support unicode. The solution might be to set 
the temp directory to "C:\Windows\Temp" with the help of the 
GetWindowsDirectory()<http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms724454(v=vs.85).aspx>function.
 Not sure what would be a better solution, to set C:\Windows\Temp 
by default, or to detect whether the path returned by GetTempPath() 
contains unicode characters and only then do the fallback. The 
GetTempPath() may also return a short path string like 
"C:\DOCUME~1\UNICOD~1\LOCALS~1\Temp" on Windows XP when user's name 
contains unicode characters. And PHP also doesn't like such paths, some 
things like sessions will work fine with such a temp dir, but others like 
uploading of files will not work.

Not sure if the entire PHP unicode issue is to be fixed in Mongoose. But as 
you provide PHP bundle it might be worth to consider.

The other problem I noticed is the SERVER_NAME environment variable. It is 
by default set to "mydomain.com" by Mongoose. I don't think this is the 
default behavior of other web servers. When there is no domain provided 
then it should be set to SERVER_ADDRESS. So if it's listening on 127.0.0.1, 
then that should be the SERVER_NAME as well. Many php scripts out there may 
use this env variable (I know I was) and "mydomain.com" would probably 
break apps.

Best regards,
Czarek
