Re: Installing PHP4 for PWS

Hi, Okay I kind of had this problem. In fact I still do sometimes. In my case it involves a strange ritual with PWS!!! I usually Open up the PWS manager - make sure service is stopped - then goto ADVANCED tab (where you see all the directories) and then select each folder/dir one by one and choose EDIT-Properties. Just in case, make sure read/executed is selected. But I'm pretty sure it already is. Anyway after opening the properties window, either click on "OK" or "CANCEL", it does not matter which. Start the service and it works (for me at least), Hope that was helpful (it IS strange though) RJ ----- Original Message ----- From: "Sven Östring" <s.ostring@ieee.org> To: <php-windows@lists.php.net>; <david@fischer-net.com>; <corellia@emirates.net.ae> Sent: Thursday, May 03, 2001 11:29 AM Subject: [PHP-WIN] Installing PHP4 for PWS Hi, I found David Fischer's step-by-step instructions at http://www.faqts.com/ for installing PWS and PHP on my local machine to be very helpful. However, I'm getting the following error when I try to access .php files: [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.] I have set up my PWS manager to read/execute/script from my PHP directory and have the correct association in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE to the php4isapi.dll in the php/sapi/ directory. Is there any other place where I need to make the PHP directory executable? Thanks,
