Hi All
I have a webserver with Abyss web server installed and i downloaded the windows zip version of PHP from http://www.php.net/downloads
I installed it as it said in your tutorial, but whenever any one trys to do anything that envolves PHP files, it downloads the php file to their computer. Why is this happening???

Im running WinXP 30Gb hard disk, 900Mhz PIII and 256Mb Ram
I have:
C:\php\php.exe as the php program
and (as a partition)
D:\ServerRoot\ for my server root with the php file in
D:\ServerRoot\www\php\redirect.php is the file i was trying to use

Any ideas why it downloads it (i tried to include as much info as possible!)

Thanks in Advance

Matt

Have you followed exactly our PHP installation guidelines ?
Have you added / as in the CGI Paths table ?
