I am getting quite frustrated and feeling really stupid.
I am attempting to install php, apache and mysql locally.
I am installing php3, apache 1.3.9 and MySQL on Win98 SE. Apache seems to be working fine, same with MySQL, but not php. I get the following errors when I try to run a simple php script:
Warning: Cannot open 'c:/windows' for reading in - on line 0
Fatal error: Unable to start browscap module in (null) on line 0
Unable to start modules
I was following the local install from phpbuilder.com.
I know this is probably an easy fix, but my brain does'nt seem to be working. ANY help would be greatly apprciated!
Thanks
ronnie

I recommend upgrading to PHP4, it gives better performance and good instructions for installing on both NT with IIS and 9x with PWS.
You can find it at http://www.php.net

Your error probably has something to do with the "Paths and Directories" section in the settings file, C:\windows\php3.ini (if you've already upgraded to 4.0 then the instructions should be somewhat similar). Here is a short description of each...I think what you need to change is the doc_root variable in that section.
include_path: whenever you include() a file this is where PHP looks if the path isn't absolute, so include("file.php") where include_path = G:\ would tell PHP to open G:\file.php. This is optional, because if it isn't set and file.php exists in the current dir where the PHP file being executed is, PHP won't even think about this setting.
doc_root: this is the same as PWS/IIS's WWWROOT. The default PWS setting for this is C:\inetpub\wwwroot so you should set doc_root to that, as long as you haven't changed the wwwroot..
user_dir: nothing to do with your error..
extension_dir: make sure this is the directory in which you installed PHP. Usually this should just be C:\php3 for PHP3 and C:\php for PHP4.
Hope this helps..
