I have run a local, development WAMP server on Windows XP for years with no problems.  I have a few development sites on my desktop which all work fine in that environment.

 

I just got a Vista/Business machine and manually installed Apache 2.24, PHP 5.2.4 and MySQL 5.0.45 along with PhpMyAdmin 2.11.0

 

Everything works fine except it seems that PHP is blind to any includes.  I have gone over all the PHP.ini and Apache setups and can't see what's wrong.

 

I installed everything AFTER turning off Windows UAC (user account control) and the Windows firewall, so I don't think they are messing around with me.

 

Anything that should stream in from the "includes" just does not stream in, so the script will fail.  This is usally how I bring in the database credentials, so I'm stuck!

 

I have wasted DAYS on this.  Any ideas will be greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks. :-\

I gave UP.  Something is wrong with how PHP 5.2.4 and Apache 2.2.4 work together sometimes.  Some things work; others do not.

 

Solution:  Go to Sourceforge.net and downloaded WINLAMP.  This installs Apache 2.0, MySQL 5.0.22 with PHP 5.1.4 along with a few other things like PhpMyAdmin.  You can pick and choose what you want to install.

 

Result:  Everything works.
