note 72963 deleted from install.windows.manual by cmb

Note Submitter: hkhasgiwale at gmail dot com ---- I wasted a lot of time trying to figure out the problem of not being able to display my 'test.php' demo script to work, the file lay in my IIS 5 " C:\inetpub\wwwroot" folder. The file contents of test.php were: <?php> phpinfo(); <?> Windows php installer version was 5.2.0 Problem lay in the minute dumb feature of windows explorer being used t change(rename) text file extension from 'test.txt' to 'test.php'. The resultant name looked by the IIS was still 'test.php.txt'. I used command line to change the filename to 'test.php' and it displayed in my browser. http://localhost/test.php, worked right away.
