Hello, Please note that MS4W questions should be sent to the MS4W-users mailing list (subscribe at http://lists.maptools.org/mailman/listinfo/ms4w-users). Here are my comments: - MS4W is designed so that Apache and PHP work out-of-the-box (no configuration needed) - on a fresh machine, install MS4W (sounds like you already know this step) - once your localhost page shows the MS4W homepage, you know you are ready - to verify that PHP is running, without making any changes to the configuration, (assuming you are using MS4W 3.0.6) copy the file C:/ms4w/tmp/phpinfo.php into C:/ms4w/Apache/htdocs/ and then in your web browser goto http://localhost/phpinfo.php - the page should show you information about your PHP install For any more MS4W questions, feel free to contact the MS4W-users mailing list, or you can contact me directly for custom builds or to contribute funding to help this great product grow and live. Oh one final note: I did cringe when you mention "XP": that platform is becoming old now, similar to (when I started this) users stuck on Windows98 years ago. Be warned that for best results with MS4W you should be using a more recent Windows version such as Windows7 or Vista. Thank you for using MS4W. -jeff -- Jeff McKenna MapServer Consulting and Training Services http://www.gatewaygeomatics.com/ _______________________________________________ mapserver-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/mapserver-users
