Re: Im at my wits end. I need help. Someone

It sounds like that PWS is not configured to allow scripts in the directory that you saved your .php files into. To test your setup, try the following things: 1) Create a file in notepad with the following line in it: <?php phpinfo(); ?> 2) Save the file as info.php and put it into your main wwwroot folder. 3) Open your browser and try to load http://localhost/info.php 4) If it complains about the execute permission, check that PWS is configured to allow scripts in the wwwroot directory, using the manager utility. I hope that this helps. Thanks. Peter Bowen On Sat, 9 Dec 2000, Tom Saunders wrote: > Right. This is what Ive done so far.
