Server not seeing PHP (Win32)

Hi What could be the problem when a server does not seem to pick up PHP? This is for Win32 (=Win98), set up on a local box. I have read the PHP manual, I have looked at discussions, I have tried both Apache and MS PWS, I have tried different PHP4 versions, I have made all the required changes to php.ini, I have searched several PHP web sites, I have installed with a nifty tool I found at http://php.weblogs.com/easywindows, I bought a couple of books (Welling and Thomson, Schwendiman, Greenspan and Bulger) and followed their advice... but there still is a problem. The servers (Apache and MS PWS) run fine as they serve HTML documents properly. They do not parse the embedded PHP code. And with *.php files this happens: Before installing with the mentioned tool, the error message complained about not being able to access PHP due to CGI problem. After using the tool, I get an HTTP 500 error message when trying to read *.php files. I want to sit in a corner an eat a worm.... Please help. Thanks Jacques -- ___________________ Jacques Steyn
