FAQed off ...

Hi all.

Before I get flamed, I really have searched for hours on this, promise. I
must be phrasing it wrong, but I have wearied ...

I need to set up PHP on a PC running Windows 98/PWS so that PHP will parse
(e.g.) "index.html", instead of having to name my file "index.php".
Windows 2000? Easy.
Windows 98? No info that I can find at all.
It must be simple, but I need help.

The usual thanks in advance to all ...

Cheers.

PHP isn't the problem, PWS is.
The server needs to be told how to handle pages, PHP is just the code.
I don't know about PWS, never used it, but ran Apache on 98 fine .. for
development.
Maybe you should consider Apache instead ?

Which server are you using? It's not a 'windows' issue it's a server issue.

the following should give you some clues about associating an extension with
php:
http://www.php.net/manual/en/install.apache.php
http://www.php.net/manual/en/install.iis.php

Thanks Tom.

Am running PWS, as stated in the mail.
Will check out your IIS link and report back.

Cheers.

Hi Tom.

The "install.iis" link that you gave me gives all the instructions for
configuring PWS.
Worked a treat ... excellent stuff.

Thanks again.
