I'm running on Windows XP with apache and mysql. my root directory for my webserver is c:/Documents and Settings/phil/My Documents/myweb and the location of geeklog is: c:/Documents and Settings/phil/My Documents/myweb/geeklog-1.3.5 No matter what I type in at the "Path to Geeklog:" prompt, when I click "Next>>" the field value disappears and there I sit. What should I be entering? (I am not putting a trailing slash...). Regards, Phil

What you have is a typical sign of register_globals=off in your php.ini file. Set it to "on", restart your webserver and try again, please.

bye, Dirk

Dirk, Thanks so much! I actually read that in a post last night but I was up so late (2:30am) that I was actually trying to find register_globals in apache's http.conf file!!!! Arrgh. Much clearer mind this morning - I appreciate your help. Phil
