Re: Download Prompt Problem

Cute... I think you've got a couple of things to do now. Your computer now has the file type .php associated with php.exe. If that was what you really wanted great! But I think it's not what you were looking for. Under IIS on my box, I have properties for the computer a section called Computer MIME Map. I suspect you do to. Remove .php from there. That is for your computer, not specifically for the web server. After it's removed from there OK out of File Types if you haven't already. Ok out of the the computer properties also. Now select "Default Web Site" listed under your computer's name and edit the properties of it. Go to the Home Directory tab, select configuration and add the .php extension there. (this is how to do it for IIS4 on NT) Read the instructions more carefully, perhaps you'll see where you veered to the left, instead of the right. good luck, -joe ""Daniel"" <eh@eh.com> wrote in message news:98p78q$8r7$1@toye.p.sourceforge.net... > I am very new to php, but i tried to install it and i followed the > directions i think...
