WarriorOfLight Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 Hey everyone! I'm Phillip. Well, presently, I'm borrowing my dad's laptop to work on a website. Mine has been brought for servicing. How do I install PHP on Windows Vista? Each time I tried to install it, I get an error message at the end, telling me that the installer has issues accessing the httpd.conf file. What should I do? P.S. I made the same posting in the wrong location by accident. When scrolling down, I missed this forum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mchl Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 Try running installer as an administrator... Want to have Apache, MySQL and PHP set up quick, get WampServer. Works without problems on Vista. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now, I have a sample web application on my localhost that I'm trying to view...but it shows me an error page..something to do with the CGI & ISAPI files. What do I do now?

Mchl Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 Did you copy your file to C:\inetpub\wwwroot\PHP5\chapter06\phpformdata.php ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarriorOfLight Posted December 17, 2008 Author Share Posted December 17, 2008 Did you copy your file to C:\inetpub\wwwroot\PHP5\chapter06\phpformdata.php ? Sorrie, I don't get what you mean. The file 'phpformdata.php' is situated in the chapter06\ folder. It receives form data from phpformdata.html. After I submit the form, I see the above error.

Mchl Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 Well. If the file phpformdata.php indeed is in C:\inetpub\wwwroot\PHP5\chapter06\ folder, then I have no idea. I have no experience with IIS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
