Spainhighlander Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 PROBLEM: Using WAMP (for PHP) in VISTA - Cannot save NOTEPAD FILE to www folder. Hi there I recently embarked on APACHE /PHP / MySQL using WAMP to download them. LOCALHOST seems OK. Then created a simple "hello world" statement.... <? php echo "Hello World"; ?> When I try to save it in the www folder as helloworld.php as an 'ALL FILES' type, The following message appears: C:\Program Files\wamp\helloworld.php You don't have permission to save in this location Contact the Administrator to obtain permission. Would you like to save in the Parcent Folder (Computer's name) instead ? I am the Administrator for the system Effectively, something is not allowing me to save the file. I am not certain if this is a Wamp, Vista or PHP problem. Anyone have an idea what is causing this ... and even better ... What would be the solution ? Regards from sunny Spain Highlander .

corbin Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 Or just change the file permissions of the folder.

Mchl Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 I've been fighting a lot with other application that couldn't cope with Vista's write permissions for C:\Program Files. It ended up installed elsewhere...
