I think PWS on 95/98 looks in the registry... Agreed - PWS on these platforms is fundamentally a cut down version of IIS3. I suspect it is possible to have this on NTWS as well, but PWS4 which comes with the NT option pack (same CD as IIS4) certainly looks in the Metabase - though I don't

then please merge the install.txt in there, as it's currently somewhat incomplete I will attempt to do that this afternoon. Cheers -- Phil Driscoll Dial Solutions +44 (0)113 294 5112 http://www.dialsolutions.com http://www.dtonline.org -- PHP Development Mailing List http://www.php.net/ To

I don't think so, it looks ok. But I must admit that I prefer plaintext readme's... But that's just me. At 13:40 10.5. 2001, Liz wrote the following: -- I noticed no comments at all about the HTML version of the readme I offered..

On the subject of updating the manual though.. the IMAP, POP and NNTP functions section.. it only contains imap functions. Im sure this is confusing to people. It's just that James's suggestion that we update the installation chapter of the manual and generate the installation noted from that

I'm in the middle of sorting out the windows installation instructions for the manual and the readme file for the windows distribution. What I thought would be a quick job, as usual, is much more complicated than I thought. The readme.txt, install.txt and the manual all contradict each other, and

Anyway, I'm well on with the job, but I have an issue with the instructions on installing PHP with PWS on NT Workstation. All the instructions everywhere talk about editing the registry, but as far as I am aware, PWS on NTWS is not in the least bit interested in the registry - it uses the IIS

To the best of my knowledge, it used to when it was based on IIS3 (and was essentially the same thing currently shipped as PWS for 9x/ME) but the current PWS for NTWS is essentially IIS4. Could only be an improvement. -- PHP Development Mailing List http://www.php.net/ To unsubscribe,
