As PHP says ... there seems to be something wrong with file permissions. Make sure the IIS-user (if there is one on windows) can read intekendb.php. I don't know if you checked [1] yet. It's alot of useful info about php on IIS. Quote out of that article: The IIS user (usually IUSR_MACHINENAME) needs permission to read various files and directories, such as php.ini, docroot, and the session tmp directory. Maybe [2] can help you out too.
