New to PHP

  • 14 years ago

    Was fixing to instal php but was prompted to enter smtp server - I'm with comast so would I put smtp.comcast.net.? Also, it asks for the 'from address for the mail function. Do I just use my email address?

     Using Windows w/iis. What is the easiest way to go about this?  thanks

    XP or Vista? IIS 6 or 7?

    Are you using your machine just a a dev machine to write the code, and then uploading it to a server elsewhere to actually run etc.? [I'm presuming yes, as you're using the Windows installer rather than doing it the more complicated way Stick out tongue [:P]]

    If so, you don't need to enter anything for the smtp server, unless you actually need to use the mail function on your PC.....

    Using XP and IIS 6

    Wanting to use my own machine.

    RE: Uploading to a server. Can I just do that with IIS?

    Also, seem to have come across another problem. Had created another virtual directory and placed wanted to try it out the browser. I get a promp for the user name and pass word but to no avail. i enter my user name and it includes the computer name along with it It then display that I dont have permission to view with the error being the IIS

    What am I doing wrong here? If not using the correct username and password - where to I navigate to find these two?

    Thanks
