Hi ! Me and some friends are running a webpage on a small windows server running the webpage server hosting program Savant. Now we want an forum to it and have found a free PHP for Windows forum. How do we make it work ? Totally newbie, we have the php files. How do we make them to HTML or such ? Kind regards. / Magnus Wretlund
I suspect you should start by reading the install/setup documentation that came with the forum scripts. Then try to make it work, if it doesn't then ask specific questions here.
savant.sourceforge.net has some pretty detailed instructions on setting up savant web server.
The short answer:
You need a web server that can parse PHP files.
Some are VERY easy to set up in Windows. Those include Apache and IIS.
Any other system can support PHP via a CGI wrapper. PHP can be downloaded at www.php.net
