Read the doc that come with the Apache installation / or homepage - I am sure that something of this is covered. I am no expert on Apache nor Dialup connection in W98, but there are dozen things to test - as well as there is some tweaks for the dialup in windows too. To tweak the dialup i believe that you find something in Settings/Control panel/Network/Properties/Configuration/Dialup where one can set dialup to something like this: "always" / "when needed" / "never". I don't have any dialup connection installed, so i cannot verify if this is correct. There might be a tweak in IE too - or, if i remember wrong - the tweak above. My suggestion is that you do things in this order: 1: Make sure that Apache is up and running. 2: Try to access the default apache startpage (using http://127.0.0.1). This often involves checking / changing / browsing through the apache config files if it doesn't work. Try with different computers / browsers if possible. 3: Replace the default apache startpage with your own (named as the apache one) and see if it works. 4: Put some *simple* PHP code in this file like: <?PHP phpinfo(); ?> 5: ... -- Michel Laine -- PHP Windows Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- PHP Windows Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
