Re: Re[2]: [PHP-WIN] Testing php in Win2000?

This may not be your problem, but since it's bitten me on NT before, I thought I'd mention it. I never have any problems accessing the local web server via localhost or by the machine's IP address, however if I try to access a local site via a name set up in the winnt\system32\drivers\etc\hosts file, then the browseri insists on going into it's dialup routing (even though I can ping the host from the command line). I haven't found a way around this problem. It is normally not a great issue, but some software such as phorum issues redirect headers to redirect the browser to phorum's configured host. This makes it tricky to test a full production setup on my local machine. Where I need to use php to access multiple sites on the local machine, I tend to run each site on a different port on localhost (although you could probably also run each site on a different IP address. Apologies if this is not the cause of your problem. Cheers -- Phil Driscoll
