Re: The Test.php program does not execute

I do not have Apache installed; therefore I did not see any HTTPD.CONF file to look at. I am using it as a straight CGI midule. I proceeded to set up the web server by first installing the PWS from the Win98SE CD. Next, I installed the Win PHP manually. I believe my problem was configuring the php.ini file. I have managed to get it working in a way now, but the problem now is it cannot parse a variable input from an HTML form. What might I have still done wrong?

As I said, I don't know if you can do that with '98, but I think not. So, it would be an Apache problem. How did you proceed to set up the web server ? You should look at the HTTPD.CONF file, which has the config for Apache. You have directives that allow or forbid the access to directories. There should be a "default area", like this <Directory />

#    Options FollowSymLinks
    order allow,deny
    allow from all
    AllowOverride None

</Directory> After that, a directive for each directory you which to protect (or not). In your case, I would say that either the default order is "deny,allow" or you have another directive forbidding the access to the directory in question.

Either you have restrictions on the directory, at OS level (I don't know if you can do that with '98), or within the HTTP server. Luis GKE wrote:

I have just joined the learning bandwagon of PHP. I am using Windows 98SE,

as such, I downloaded the Windows version of the PHP program 4.3.2-Win32 version. But after installation (Manual), I still cannot get anything working. Sometimes I get Access Denied ......something something FORCE REDIRECT and

sometimes the following error message. HTTP Error 403 403.1 Forbidden: Execute Access Forbidden This error can be caused if you try to execute a CGI, ISAPI, or other executable program from a directory that does not allow programs to be executed. What could I have done wrong? Need assistance GKE
