I have installed the PWS from the WIN98 SE cd a long time ago, and now decided to install PHP on it.
I have followed the instructions in the txt file included in the distrubusion, but it from some reason did not instal propably.
I have copied ALL the "*.dll"'s in the distrubution to the system directory in windows, and have edited the PHP.INI paths section. I have also added the info to the registry.

Could there be anything i forgot?

    Sir, why don't you try windows installer available at PHP.net. It works well with windows. Have to do nothing except just clicking next next........

    Why should we call for trouble if we have got soln.?

      ok thanks, I will.

      Would the files that i have alrady copied, the php.ini and the registry settings i have alrady made?

        If you still have problems with PWS, try the free BadBlue server for Windows. Designed to work with PHP and it's free... plus very tiny in size.

        http://badblue.com/helpphp.htm will let you get going (probably with the PHP install you already have).

          Ok, I have downloaded the installer, and got it working. But, i get a 403.1 error:

          "HTTP Error 403
          403.1 Forbidden: Execute Access Forbidden

          This error can be caused if you try to execute a CGI, ISAPI, or other executable program from a directory that does not allow programs to be executed.

          Please contact the Web server's administrator if the problem persists."

          What could cause this?

          I appreiciate your help,

            Just click the 'Allow Execution' (text may be differnt) while making a virtual directory. All'll be ok 🙂
