Hey there, am pulling my hair out at the moment as I have been set the task of creating an online shop using "shop script" however am completely stuck it's just not working it's error after error and it's rea;y stating the bug the *censored* out of me.

now am not to sure where to start so here goes.

I have easyPHP installed, IIS, Apache 2.2 and PHP5
Now as far as settings go most were default however I WOULD LOVE to just wipe my computer and start again (but don't real have the time for that)

going to web browser and typing localhost/install.php displays a page of code which is no GOOD. This leads me to think there is some setting in EasyPHP that I have to change but what !!!

Any help would be great as this is my first time jumping on to the web creating proccess I am mainly on the hardware side.
Thank youYour symptoms are extremely vague, making real help difficult to provide.

The errors you are encountering would help, as they would point to the PROBLEM PHP is having.

I have zero experience with the product you mentioned, and next to no experience with my own PHP installs (I let Apache handle those THINGS when I hosted my own, and now I let my hosting provider handle it).  However, my gut instinct says that, since you're using IIS, it's a directory permission problem.

Either IIS isn't set up properly, or PHP doesn't have permissions to certain directories, or some effed up combination of those and a billion other things that could go wrong on a Windows install.

tl;dr: What are the errors you're getting?
