PHP error 403 after installation (windows 98/PWS/MySql)

[Duncanmcl]

Trying to test PHP installation in a PWS/windows 98/MySql environment on my home PC. Created a PHP extension page with standard html and the PHP tags with the PHPInfo() function. Storing the file in my root directory and using the URL 127.0.0.1/file name.PHP.

The error is 'forbidden execute access..an executable from directory not allowed'

No user id/password statements were included and i'm not accessing any MySql database...just tring to get PHP configured and running. I used the installation wizard for windows 98 & PWS...which should automatically configure my ini files....i selected PWS and MySql during the load process.

Thanks in advance....Jim

Have you given PWS permission to execute scripts in that directory?

I haven't messed with PWS in 5 years. I can only advise that you take a look at the properties of your site.
