Yup, visit www.php.net and dl the Win32 binaries/install package. Be warned though, most PHP scripts expect a Unix environment and don't take kindly to Win32 file systems

okay, i've installed it, but how do i test it to see if php is working okay?

make a page with nothing but.....

<?php
phpinfo()
?>

in it and name it something.php and try and open it through your web browser.

well i think php is working and i've followed the gallery instructions for configuring gallery, but when configuring it, after the first page I click the next button and I get a 404 error... any ideas?

that works thanks but having a gallery problem and can't seem to find the solution. it talks about a .htaccess file, but i can't find it...

i've followed the gallery install instructions for windows 2000 and IIS down to the tee / or 't' , but no luck, i've searched their forums for the solution too, but still no closer...

i've posted a message on the gallery forums:

woo!

i've got it working - but there's just one slight problem, in order for me to add images etc i have to set the config to point to the : 192.168.0.3 address, but i suspect when other people are viewing it using the external ip address, they won't be able to click the links etc?

try it out at http://82.42.131.178/photos/gallery/

see if you can see it?

just make them relative links rather than absolute.

e.g. if your website was

http://82.42.131.78/

then an absolute path would be
http://82.42.131.78/photos/gallery/image.jpg

whereas a relative path would be
photos/gallery/image.jpg

If you absolutely have to put the server in the read it using $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']

i've tried changing the setup in gallery config, but get this:


Error: photoAlbumURL: /photos/gallery must be an absolute URL!
Error: albumDirURL: /photos/gallery/albums must be an absolute URL!

i've changed it to the external address, so you should be able to see it, but i won't be able to access it from my internal network:
