PLEASE!! Problem Install under win98 and win2k

This is a message i sent to php-install but have gotten no response. Since i found this group I though it better to try here. tia .. dsig PLEASE .. Okay .. httpd server is working well (all test scripts return correct information. SO .. How can i test the php installation. I have installed based on the site http://www.php.net/distributions/bigmanual.html#installation sub section Installation on Windows 95/98/NT systems. There is a link to http://www.umesd.k12.or.us/php/win32install.html . I have followed those instructions 'to the bone'. Then when i create a test page as follows: test1.php <html> <?php phpinfo(); ?> </html> Loading this page through my server brings up a standard error page. This behavior is the same on win98 and win2k. 1. what is best method of installation on win2k and win98 2. do i have to put the dll's in the the f:\winnt\system32 and c:\windows\system directories? or per doc above can i just point to them? 3. when php is installed is there any way to test the configuration from a 'dos box'. thanks
