Hello. I did install Wamp, the other install I tried was Xamplite I believe, and it also didn't work with PHP files, but did work with HTML files. So from past experience with IIS and ASP, etc, I'd guess it's that the PHP DLL or whatever the interpruter is, isn't being used because of a config file problem, but that's just a wild guess from a guy who's only used ASP and Dot net.. I tried installing WAMP and it didn't work at all, so I looked on the web at the site you suggested and found a forum that had a post that said if you have "Inetpub" which I did have for my WebDev Express DotNet development, Apache won't work. So, I deleted that folder and un-installed WAMP, and I'm going to try again. The post that explained having Inetpub as the problem didn't say why this is a problem, so I am just shooting in the dark. I have another post on this same forum, so you might see it to see my results. Too much writing.. hehe.. I'm trying again, and I'm in a hurry because I have a web site that I need to get finished in about 3 weeks. I could do it in Dot Net, but I want to learn PHP for several reasons.
Thank you. I'll keep this forum informed.
