TIA! How you fix the path to php.ini is what you did in the first place, except you shouldn't leave behind the c:\php\php.ini to confuse yourself some other day. MOVE the file to c:\winnt where PHP thinks it must be. Other Options: Re-compile PHP from scratch to choose a different path for php.ini Use that new-fangled Apache directive to tell Apache where to find php.ini -- This implies dumping IIS and using Apache, which you should do anyway :-) Meanwhile, back at the ranch, your question SHOULD be: How do I get IIS to not return 404 for the first hit on a URL, then the correct content on subsequent hits? Standard Windows Debugging 101: #1 Re-boot the whole machine and pray. #2 Re-install the entire OS and all software. #3 Switch to Linux. The first two steps are what Microsoft always tells me to do. :-) Sorry. Best I can do for you... PS I suspect that in this case, some sort of brain-dead IIS/DNS/MS-OS cache is screwing you up and a re-boot (#1) actually WILL solve the problem. This is, however, only a guess. -- Like Music? http://l-i-e.com/artists.htm -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
