    Cannot open php pages on my development machine

    Problem: On my development machine, I cannot open a page with a .php
    extension.
    - Using FireFox, I get the message: The specified module could not be
    found.
    - Using IE 6.0, I get the messageL The page cannot be displayed.

    What I did:
    I first downloaded and ran the Windows Installer for PHP. I then
    realized that I should have done a manual installation, so I downloaded
    the ZIP file and did the following:
    1 - Unzipped the contents to c:\PHP and set its security so Everyone
    can read/execute
    2 - Copied php.ini-dist to w:\windows\php. ini
    3 - Edited php.ini:
    set -> doc_root = "c:\inetpub\www root"
    set -> extension_dir = "c:\php\ext "
    4 - Set the permissions on php.ini so Everyone could read
    5 - Added c:\PHP to the system path
    6 - Followed the instructions in install.txt entitled "To use the ISAPI
    module, do the following:"
    7 - Rebooted the computer

    What else should I try?

Working...
