Re: Re: HTTP 403.1 error Execute Access Forbidden on IIS 5.1

Hi Pat. Is there a specific requirement to run IIS? If not, Maybe you can run Apache instead of IIS on Windows? Here's two ready to install Apache on Windows alternatives: http://www.wampserver.com/en/ http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp.html WAMP also has a nice helpfull forum: http://www.wampserver.com/phorum/list.php?2 Kind Regards, Keith Roberts ----------------------------------------------------------------- Websites: http://www.karsites.net http://www.php-debuggers.net All email addresses are challenge-response protected with TMDA [http://tmda.net] ----------------------------------------------------------------- On Tue, 2 Mar 2010, Pat Johnston wrote:

    5.1

I've used PHP on Linux for years, but now I NEED to get it running on Windows XP. I've spent many hours trying to get it working, giving execute permission to everything I can think of - no luck. Does anyone have a clue what might be going on or what I might try next? PHP runs fine from the command line but only gives the 403.1 error when running under IIS. Pat Johnston wrote:

After installing PHP 5.2.12 on Windows XP and configuring, the test phpinfo page fails to execute on IIS 5.1, giving an HTTP 403.1 error - Forbidden: Execute Access Forbidden Internet Information Services The test web page is under the Inetpub/wwwroot/PHP directory and has execute access. The php-cgi.exe also has execute access. I've used .msi installers, the Microsoft .wpi installer, and have manually installed PHP without success.
