Re: HTTP 403.1 error Execute Access Forbidden on IIS 5.1

[Pat Johnston <Pat@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I've used PHP on Linux for years, but now I NEED to get it running on 
Windows XP. I've spent many hours trying to get it working, giving 
execute permission to everything I can think of - no luck. Does anyone 
have a clue what might be going on or what I might try next?

PHP runs fine from the command line but only gives the 403.1 error when 
running under IIS.
