I am curious as to weither anyone has tried installing the PHP version on Win98se for testing reasons? I set up Apache for windows, PHP 4, and MySQL all to run on my computer so I can hack away at the script and see if itworks before I upload it and have to close the forums while people could be posting.
Anywho, I have several scripts running on my localhost site, but w3t is not working, I get error messages. :-(
First I get an error that there is a parse error on line 13 of main.inc.php. There shouldnt be bacause I havent touched that line :-D. Here is what the script looks like:
[:green]
// THIS NEEDS TO BE SET, OTHERWISE ADMIN SCRIPTS WILL NOT WORK
// THIS IS THE ACTUAL PATH TO YOUR PHP INSTALLATION
$thispath = "c:\program files\apache group\apache\htdocs\w3t";
include("$thispath/config.inc.php");
include("$thispath/$config[dbtype].inc.php");
include("$thispath/theme.inc.php");[:black]
Now I dont see any parse error, but all I can figure is that the problem may be that the windows path is formated with \ while the paths to the language files and such are formated with the / . Any ideas on how I can fix this problem?
I have it installed on win98/apache/mysql
works fine
what release of php4 are you running?
Get rid of the trailing slash in the path.
Yea, I think that was the first thing I tried, and I got all these errors then:

[:black] I also tried to change all of the \ slashes to /, but that didnt go over well either. Anymore suggestions guys?
here is my path C:/apache/htdocs/wwwthreads
also my config looks like this
<hr>
// Path and Url variables
// Url to the main WWWThreads php install
$config['phpurl'] = "http://192.168.0.46/wwwthreads";
// Relative Url containing the images
$config['images'] = "http://192.168.0.46/wwwthreads/images";
// Path to your images directory, needed for calculating image sizes
$config['imagepath'] = "C:/apache/htdocs/wwwthreads/images";
// Url to your stylesheets directory
$config['styledir'] = "http://192.168.0.46/wwwthreads/stylesheets";
// Path to your WWWThreads php install
$config['path'] = "C:/apache/htdocs/wwwthreads";
// Path to your stylesheets directory
$config['stylepath'] = "C:/apache/htdocs/wwwthreads/stylesheets";
// Path to save session information
// This is only used if $config['tracking'] = "sessions"
// Needs to be a world writeable directory outside of your html tree
$config['sessionpath'] = "/home/httpd/sessions";
// Domain that wwwthreads is running under.
$config['referer'] = "http://192.168.0.46";
// --------------------------
Those errors are all caused by the script not finding config.inc.php. Don't know if this will work but try using double // in the path. C://apache//htdocs//wwwthreads
I have seen this cure some of the windows path problems. I know to make uploads work on win nt you need double // in the upload temp dir path.
Thanks for the help guys, I just got done reformating, so as soon as I re-install apache and the rest, I will try this out. :-)
