PHP Guestbook problem, please Help?

[jonosss]

Hello can you please help. I have been trying for some time now to get a PHP guestbook to work on a domain hosted on GoDaddy. I believe they use NT servers. The guestbook in question is Hyperbook,details on this guestbook which I obtained online can be found here
http://diamond-back.com/software/guestbook/

Problem is whenever I have run the initial configuration program for the guestbook I get the following error message
ERROR: Guestbook Configuration file couldn't be opened for writing.
Filename: D:\\Hosting\\petecarver\\guestbook\\data/gbconfiguration.dat

The data folder is a folder I created as per installation intructions inside the mail Guestbook folder. A configuration file it seems is being attempted to be written inside this data folder but it is being prevented. I have set chmod to allow everythin ,777, but even when I do this I get a message saying failed cause only needed on Linux servers. However all the permissions remain checked to allow all access and write.

I am using this guestbook succesfully on another domain hosted elsewhere and it works like a dream. GoDaddy state that all their hosing plans are PHP enabled so there should be no problem. GoDaddy have been ignoring my requests for help for 3 days now so please can someone help.

Many Thanks in advance

Thanks very much for replying. However I was aware that chmod is only neede on Linux servers I was only throwing that in for information.

What the problem is I dont know whay it wont let me set up the guestbook i.e. the error messages returned as previously mentioned

ERROR: Guestbook Configuration file couldn't be opened for writing.
Filename: D:\\Hosting\\petecarver\\guestbook\\data/gbconfiguration.dat

It is not writing to the folder it should be, seems k=like its not allowing it. Thats the problem so I am sorry if I have not described it clearly.

Thanks again
