install issues

PP Newbe here with an install issues.

I am running a Windows 2003 box with Apache 2.0.63 PHP 5.2.5 MySQL 4.1

I am trying to establish PP locally. I can run through the setup and get to Set 4 with success. Once I hit on the word finish I get redirected back to the root folder with an index list. I do not get any option to create an administrator account or to provide the company details. I can click on index.php and I get ‘Internet Explorer cannot displace the webpage’ (similar results on Firefox).

So far I have triedto enter the amdin info directly into the db as noted suggested in http://www.projectpier.org/node/207

I have also tried several different installs each with fresh downloads. I have removed PHP and MySQL and reinstalled them both.

I even tried to set up PP under IIS.

I thank you in advance for any suggestion you might be able to offer me.

This sounds like you need to make adjustments to your webserver settings so that index.php is used as the default page (like index.html) and also make sure that *.php is setup to be executed by php.

You will also likely want to adjust your server settings so that directory listing is not allowed.
