Clarification: I have the PHP dir in the path, so that I can use the cli version. Steph is using the CGI version, and I have problems with the apache 2 module (very different!). I need to copy the php.ini file to the windows dir, otherwise it is not parsed. And I also need to copy the libmysql.dll to the system folder in order to have the mysql extension working. Steph, cam you check if you get these problems, too? Thanks, Nuno
