PHP Instalation problems. Browser doesn't know what to do

[paulsparrow]

Loaded Apache and PHP on a Windows XP box. Apache is working fine.
However when I load a .php page I get a "Forbidden Warning You don't
have permission to access /php/php.exe/Chapter03/handle_form.php on
this server."

Any idea what I need to configure?

Hi,

A wild guess based on the VERY limitted information you posted is:
the user that runs IIS (named IUSR_<machinename>) doesn't have
permissions to read/execute your php.exe, or maybe also not handle_form.php.

Also, start with a simple script like this:
<?php
phpinfo();
?>

instead of handle_form.php.

Regards,
Erwin Moller

Paul, the '/php/php.exe' in the error seems to be the useful part.

My guess is that you've misconfigured Apache somehow, unless you
passed that in the URL yourself?

Would need to know move about the Apache/PHP installation package you
used, how you configured Apache, and the URL you're actually calling.

What's the URL you're trying to access?

(Top posting fixed)

No URL. This is loaded and run as a local server (for class
purposes).

Just because it's on the local machine doesn't mean you don't have a
URL. Again - what's the URL you're trying to access? Or how are you
trying to load the page?

The files are different. All my php files return same error.

Then I would say you have a problem with your Apache configuration. It
shouldn't be trying to go to the /php/php.exe folder - which I suspect
doesn't exist.

I'd suggest you try alt.apache.configuration for starters. Get your
Apache configuration straightened out. Then if you still have problems
with the PHP interpreter processing your code, come back here.

But PHP can't do much until Apache is working correctly.
