The docs have always said that, and I've always used Wise. I think
InstallShield is being used in the same generic sense that some use the word
Hoover to mean vacuum cleaner.

This is by design as most windows cgi installations are used for development
purposes. I'm sure nobody is really daft enough to connect a windows machine
to the internet for production purposes :)

Just the default value.

I'll look into this.

Perhaps. Do you know what access php.ini had before you changed it?

This file is only required for manual installation, but I'll pass the info on
so that it gets included in the zip version.

Indeed it should.

I'm pretty sure that the installer is correct in using php-cgi.exe.

I'm sure the [EMAIL PROTECTED] people would be delighted to receive a
modified and more accurate version of the installation instructions if you
have time.

Again, we need to tweak the docs. I think from reading all the above, that if
you had run the installer and selected the correct webserver, it would have
actually done the job properly and left you with a working system (it doesn't
set doc_root). Let me know if you have time to tweak the docs yourself - even
if there are things you are unsure about you can just stick some questions
in. Im sure we can ten pass that by someone in the know. I have completely
abandoned Windows now and only use it to build the php installer so my
knowledge of setting up IIS is becoming hazier by the day!

I have the following code
[CODE]
<?php
$dbconn3 = pg_connect("host=somehost port=5432 dbname=adatabase
user=postgres");
?>
[/CODE]
And when i run the script I get " Warning: pg_connect()
[function.pg-connect]: Unable to connect to PostgreSQL server: FATAL:
missing or erroneous pg_hba.conf file"
I have searched for pg_hba.conf, but I don't have it. Where should it be and
what should it contain?
