I cant save my php files directly to www directory

I have a small problem. I have installed easyPHP successfully. however when i am saving my php pages there is gives me a permission error. I know this has nothing to do with php or the software, but its because i am trying to save on this directory:
C:\program files \Easy PHP\www\

everything runs smoothly as long as i move files physically and not saving them from waterproof IDE. does anybody know how can i grant waterproof - access to write/save on this directory C:\program files \Easy PHP\www\

can i perhaps move files to somewhere else and still be able to run my php file at http://localhost/

*Phew* I hope i make sense...

if you using win 7 right click ontop of xampp folder > properties > security tab > Edit permisions > make sure you give yourself full control over the file. that should work and yes you can move files anywhere but you have tweak apache also

thanks Gcobani, I will try that later when i get home. I will let you know if i still have problems.

Better to install XAMPP on C: on Win 7 because of permissions problems.

I had the same problem but l overcame it by installing the php on C drive in "users" and not in the programs folder. You can try that

trust me if it works then leave it like that Henry you don't wanna waste time on it rather focus on real work

I also had this issue , with easyphp , I just installed it on my D drive

Now that you mention this my code now works since I got rid of EasyPHP and installed the new XAMPP.

I had the same issue and have been moving files all along, I think the safest bet is moving to a different location (not yor C/PROGRAM files root), On project submission will you be strict on specifically using easyphp or xampp or wamp?

It is irrelevant which server package you used. The whole idea is for your code to be portable:

1. I provide the db structure which you MUST use - as is. I have the db set up on my server.
2. I only change the db connection details in your config file
3. It will run on my setup - regardless whether I use XAMPP or EasyPHP. I personally prefer the former, but as said, that is irrelevant.

That said, I set my server up to show all notices and errors, but do not penalize you unfairly as these errors can go away by simply changing the error_reporting settings. And 3.5 months I cannot expect you to cover all bases.

I add issues with XAMPP before and found it buggy, maybe that was an older version. I prefer easyphp, it seems to be working fine as long as its not on the same drive as the OS

I spent several hours yesterday trying to install easy php and saving the info.php file in the 'test' folder. I am on Windows Vista and I installed the Easyphp that came with the CD; I installed directly on C:\Program Files. Here is the solution I finally found online:

# Right click the folder (test folder), click properties, open security tab, edit the users (or your computer name) tick the modify (I tick all).
(Do the same for all your folders that request permission)

Here is the online link: http://superuser.com/questions/33373/how-do-i-get-permissions-to-save-in-a-folder-that-windows-7-denies-me-from

I am using Windows 7 and have installed EasyPHP and created info.php in the folder www. I can see it in the folder though it says its a text document. When I try and run it using http://127.0.0.1/test/info.php I get an Object not found error.

Any suggestions.

Rather try and use XAMPP. It is much easier. Your problem could be beacuse EasyPHP installs to your C:\Program Files directory. If you rather want to use EasyPHP, install it in it's own directory like C:\EasyPHP.

I also had problems with EasyPHP and switched to XAMPP, much easier to find everthing.

Thanks Alex B

I reinstalled EasyPHP in its own folder and it works perfectly.

Pleasure!!

Plz help. I cn write my code ryt and save it but when tryng to run it, it ask"do you want to open or save" so i cnt run it on the internet explore

First off I would suggest using a real browser - sorry, I could not help myself!

IE is a horrible browser, rather download Firefox or Chrome.

But is you really need to use IE then follow these steps:
1. Go to Tools -> Internet Options -> Security
2. Select the "Security" tab -> Click the "Custom Level" button
3. In the "Miscellaneous" section change “Display mixed content” to Enable.

It sounds like your PHP was not properly installed. are you running XAMPP or easyPHP?
