Ted Striker	Friday 30 January 2004 4:18:53 am Ok, I'm a newbie I know... need help here. My system: Win XP + IIS 5 + PHP 4.3.2 + MySQL Server (I know, it would be better a Red Hat + Apache, but this system works fine for all my PHP/MySQL apps). I follow the "Building a eZPublish site" tutorial step by step (I swear it), and always i get the same error after istallation. Configuration goes fine, no error there, but when it shows the 2 urls that will link to "plain" and "plain_admin" sites, I click on them and 404 not found error shows up! The url, would be something like: http://localhost/sitename.net/index.php/plain http://localhost/sitename.net/index.php/plain_admin If I just go to the main index (http://localhost/sitename.net/) I get a "eZPublish - Plain design" page where all links also fail. I set the "Site access config: URL" and follow every step in the tutorial. What might be wrong? Any ideas? Can you feel it Mr. Anderson? Closing in on you? Oh I can, I really should thank you after all. It was, after all, it was your life that taught me the purpose of all life. Purpose of life is to end.

I found out that my php install is running as a cgi and if I wanted to run it as an apache module i need to create and .htaccess file and put in it: RemoveHandler .php. the .htaccess file had to be placed in my home directory. It now works perfectly.
