Honestly, I'm not too sure..

What you might want to do is contact your web host or admin who manages the server and see if they can figure it out. 

You can compare php settings to a known web server that works if that helps: http://luc.host-vault.com/phpinfo.php

A little more progress...

My Admin has looked into it he says:

XMLRCP.class.php is actually located in
C:\.....\snippetmaster\includes\licensing and
whilst it does make use of php_xmlrpc.dll they are not the same thing.

php_xmlrpc.dll no longer appears in the error as PEAR is a bit healthier than it was.

So now I think the problem is that the vars.inc.php snippetmaster file tries to include XMLRPC.class.php, assuming they are installed in the web root (which they aren't).  If vars.inc.php wasn't "Optimised" I'm sure it could be modified to simply include a relative path. "

Does this help?

Many thanks again

I've now installed the files in the default web root:  c:\Inetpub\wwwroot\snippetmaster

db.inc.php is in place and I am assured that in IIS6 the web processes have full rights to modify anything they need to....

When I run the installation I end up at .../snippetmaster/install/install1.php with the error message:

A PROBLEM WAS FOUND!

The following error(s) must be fixed before you can continue:

The C:\Inetpubdb.inc.php file was not found. Are you sure it exists? To solve this problem, you must create an empty file called to db.inc.php, upload it to your /snippetmaster/ folder, and then make sure it has write permissions.

Any help or advice much appreciated!

hi,
instead of running php with isapi try configuring the folder to run it as cgi. this seems to cure a lot of php on windows problems for us. especially if the app is not generating the sessions info correctly. usual symptoms: php code where session variables should be displayed.

do an advanced search on 'windows' plus my display name 'lccweb' and my old example of getting snippetmast to work should be still here. configuring iis6 to run php is a little tricky but not impossible.

create and run a phpinfo.php file to see the actual setup when the reconfig is done. it should be 'fast/cgi' rather than isapi.

one other odd thing is that fast/cgi will usually look for a php.ini in the php install directory rather than the windows directory. phpinfo will show where the config is loading from.

good luck.
