hi again,

just in case you didn't know:

to make a directory executable, open the PWS window, go to the "Advanced" area. then select the directory which you want to make executable, and click on "Edit Properties". tick the "executable" box. also check that "scripts" is ticked. :)

hope it helped.

Thanks but thats where I ran into problems, the install and help files say different things.

I figured since the regedit file was involved I should seek help while I could lol

When trying to open a .php file from PWS i get:

"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."

try this

hi busy,

personally, i've had little/no experience with php. but i searched php.net and got this:

Download Installer: http://www.php.net/downloads.php
Installation Manual: http://www.php.net/manual/en/install.iis.php

i suppose you download the installer for iis/pws and then.........no idea. try the links anyway.

it looks like pretty much what you need for now.

good luck
