edited November 2007 in Vanilla 1.0 Help
Hi, I have uploaded all the files of Vanilla 1.1.4 on my windows server under a folder 'htdocs\forum'. But when i try to access this folder via http://www.xyz.com/forum/ it gives me an error stating "You dont have permissions to access this folder". I uploaded the same files on Linux server, it is working fine there. I need to get it working on windows server as well. Please help. Are there any special settings need to be doen for windows server.

    What server software are you using?

    Nothing must be done to Vanilla on Windows servers. To me, what you have is a configuration problem.
    Just try with the complete url: http://www.xyz.com/forum/index.php

    I am using Windows Server 2003. I am not sure what configurations I need to make for running my script. I tried the link http://www.xyz.com/forum/index.php but it is actually downloading the php file.

    Are you sure PHP is installed? Try to follow a step by step tuto on this.
    Have a nice configuration!

    I guess you are right. Probably php is not installed on the server. I need to check it by uploading a basic test file. Is there anyway we can install the php on the server. I have bought this server froma reseller. Also is there any other good open source discussion forum freeware for windows server.

    Is it a dedicated server or a managed server or a shared server? You can either install it as a module in IIS (though I've never successfully managed that personally) otherwise use something like WAMPP

    Are you talking about XAMPP? Is it a discussion forum?

    @Minisweeper: Have you test FastCGI on IIS. I read about it recently: http://devzone.zend.com/article/2710-FastCGI-and-PHP-A-Users-Story

    Cant say I have. I try and avoid IIS as much as possible these days. And yes I am talking about XAMPP, it's an apache/php/mysql packager for windows which always seems to work pretty well for me if you cant get php going in IIS.
