Ok so i dont even know what php is well i have a website that is all html and i have got a questbook and when i try to access the questbook it asks me to download it so i thought you had to enable somert...so iwent looking and found that it said i must upload the page in ASCII mode? what is that?
ok so some tenical info i am using iis 6.0 and windows server 2003.


thanks in advance
 
thanks but i need to be able to set up php extension or somert on my server could you help with that?



thanks,for that thought
 
thanks again but know it is comming up with an 404 error i have tryed deleteing my v directory and making it again but it does not work can you.



thank, for the help so far!
 
you say you are using IIS, you can stick with that and install PHP, although if you are not using ASP then i would reccomend using apache as your server, as this works better with PHP, and best of all is free! you can get an all in one package (including mysql) from here: http://www.bizzarserver.com/
 
i would prefer to use iis as i know it layout and what not better now and i have seen apache and i dont realy want it, so can you still help or what?
i have got it working but when i try to add an entrie to my quest book it gets mad and says"You cannot signup this guestbook at the moment". is that a permissions problem?



thanks

you can always just not use IIS at all and download and install WAMP, it uses apache as the server app, but it also has PHP and all other stuf packaged inside it. No work is needed at all and its alot more user friendly. Oh and btw it is free

I don't know much about PHP, have used it a little. But I believe for you to have a guestbook, you need to setup a database for it to be stored in.. right?

That is correct trizoy, in this scenario PHP is used as the interaction place between an SQL database and the users browser.
 
this one uses a php scipt and it writes to a text file called entries.

and i think i need to enable somert somehow to allow it to write but i have enabled script sorce access and enable every thing in permisions and iis.
everything!! so somert needs to be installed i think?

is there any other php quest book you all might have for me to download.
or tell me how to wite one? as the one i have got i just downloaded it.


thanks for all the help so far!
 
well if anything even remotely touches on using PHP you will need to ahve PHP installed on your server, do you have PHP installed??
 
I have installed a differnt php software and it now comes up with this message.


CGI Error
The specified CGI application misbehaved by not returning a complete set of HTTP headers.


what could this mean?


thanks again
