Thanks. > > mike Hi Mike, First off, it's hard to say whether your problem actually is OS-related or whether it's due to a system misconfiguration or what. That said, while the majority of desktop users may still use Windows, I don't think you'll find that Windows or Vista make up a very large percentage of Apache's target market at all. Anyway, have you tried running just a script containing only <?php phpinfo(); ?> ? This should at least give you an indication of whether the installation is working at all. I haven't gone back over both threads on this so if you've already tried this and it worked, please ignore this. :) Cheers, Torben > "Ashley Sheridan" <ash@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote in message > news:1251290333.27899.27.camel@xxxxxxxxxxxx >> >> On Wed, 2009-08-26 at 08:27 -0400, Bob McConnell wrote: >>> >>> I recommend you start by replacing Vista.
