configure.php file error on Windows NT server

OFF topic


for Windows 2003 server its a better Idea to use Apache2triadCP it has all u need.

First u have to stop IIS or all web ftp and pop smtp for windows if u gonna use all of them install apache and everything will be better.
for mail use hmailserver for mail, for ftp server u can use Bullet FTP server.

If u have problems with configuration contact me via ICQ

Definitely 'Off Topic' as the poster is on an online Windows server, which is more than likely a shared server. So they won't have the option of changing it to Apache.

If they were using an offline server then XAMPP is much better then Apache Triad anyway.

It's hard getting Windows help in a loonix crowd, so I'll do my best for you.

I installed ZC1302 for the first time on Webhost4life on Server 2003/IIS6 and it went flawlessly.

If you haven't got your own control panel with full file management, then write to your host and have them set permissions on these files:

(your site) /admin/includes/configure.php
(your site) /includes/configure.php

to:

Read Only

for these users:

IUSR_xxxxx
Everyone

Where xxxxx is usually your account name

If you need the files to be writable again for some reason, have them set the permission to (read/write/execute):

RWX

Those are the Windows permissions names for all the chmodxxx stuff.

Note: Whilst there's no need to switch to Linux/Apache, I would still advise getting a hosting account with a full control panel. Webhosts are so cheap these days. The one I use is cheap and has all the right facilities.

Good luck,
Rob
