Re: Eh?? RE: [PHP-WIN] Guidelines for installing PHP on Apache Win32 - comments please

I'm sorry but ain't that easy... I've followed the same 7 steps and PHP works, but not with my server (that happen to be MS PWS). Maybe is a bug in the server or something like that, but I have reinstalled PHP, PWS and the whole lot more times than I care to remember... My blind guess is that localized versions are not tested. Anyway, if anybody has experience with this configuration: Win98, PWS & PHP 4, please let me know "Ross Fleming" <r.fleming@totalise.co.uk> escribió en el mensaje news:NGBBKEPLALMAJMOHBEIJMEDHCDAA.r.fleming@totalise.co.uk... > In fact, I'll update my installation instructions for the latest (not > including apache2) releases for win32.
