I am also trying to get PHP version 5.1.4 to work with Apache version 2.2.2. I am running this on Windows XP (I decided to try it there over my Linux server for learning). The Apache service is working and I can read html pages locally with no problem. I then installed PHP and followed the directions for adding it to the httpd.conf file: #PHP5 Added 20060603 ScriptAlias /php/ "C:/My Programs/PHP/" AddType application/x-httpd-php .php Action application/x-httpd-php "/php/php-cgi.exe" (I also added the path for php to the environmental variable PATH). I can run phpinfo.php from the command prompt using either php.exe or php-cgi.exe without a problem. Having followed the directions to best of my knowledge, I restarted the Apache service and attempted to test PHP. The results are: Forbidden You don't have permission to access /php/php-cgi.exe/dummies/ch10/phpinfo.php on this server. Okay, so I checked the log files: access.log 192.168.0.178 - - [04/Jun/2006:08:39:53 -0700] "GET /dummies/ch10/phpinfo.php HTTP/1.1" 403 243 192.168.0.178 - - [04/Jun/2006:08:40:42 -0700] "GET /dummies/ch10/phpinfo.php HTTP/1.1" 403 242 error.log: [Sun Jun 04 08:40:42 2006] [error] [client 192.168.0.178] client denied by server configuration: C:/My Programs/PHP/php-cgi.exe, referer: http://my-xp/dummies/ch10/ This seems to be where the answer is going to be, but I have googled and not found an answer yet. I will guess that this is a simple problem in my configuration, so if anyone can point me to the documentation or help me resolve this, I do appreciate it. Somehow, getting it work under XP has become a cause. Cheers, Richard --- "William A.
