i got a problem, its not seeing php or perl, but it will disply html pages right when i call them via localhost.


what i get for perl


and the vB install script says i do not have php installed, also phpinfo just comes up as text Oo. i fallowed the directions to the line


edit: forgot to add, that where i updated to XP corp from 2k pro my system folder is c:\winnt

lou, i dont know any configuration related to perl. you need to refer to the manual and add the right modules.
contact UBB for this matter.

regarding PHP, do you have 2 directories:
c:\windows and
c:\winnt ?

if you do, you need to do a clean install of your winXP. i had a similar problem with a customer a while ago. let me know. winNT and winXP dont mix at all. btw, this tutorial was tested so far in 12 pc's and it worked perfectly all the time.

no i just have c:\winnt, i only posted the perl because it was the only error i got, php would just go into html.

the perl modules are not installed by default. you need to configure your server to operate with cgi files also.

did you ran the Vb install? everything is ok? my concern is the VB installation only.

no the vB install will not work because its saying php is not installed, so the install steps cannot work, and the script tells me php is not installed.

i would double check one more time the steps. you missed one, by accident, i'm sure. it happened to me also few times. :)
i know is annoying, but try this. delete and uninstall everything and start from scratch.

another important step is to RESTART Apache, once you did all the install steps. let me know. i hate the fact that you are the only one who have problems. i will try my best to help you.
if you still have probs, please check my profile and contact me on msn. i am online now.

floren :)

i restarted it, i got it working, i just had to reinstall everything over, i think one of the scripts dident come over right, no matter, i got ubb,vb,phpbb,ikonboard,yabb,and postnuke all running now

you rock!! congrats.

Great tutorial ;) This will defiantly save me time testing hacks, etc. Thnx a ton!

ARGH!

I just tried to install this and it gave me the same error Anime-loo was experiencing above. I made sure to correct the mistakes he made, and reinstalled the whole thing again, but it still wont work!! 2 hours later and not a damn sign of improvement :(
It keeps telling me, when trying to run http://localhost/forums/admin/install.php, that PHP is not installed. I am running Windows XP Professional and have done everything correctly..to my understanding. Any help?
