In this case, reinstall means I repartitioned and reformatted the drive before installing Win98SE. And the environment is already at 30000, just in case :-) And the environment variables on my system seem to be upper case; set aaa = aaa results in AAA = aaa, as show by the set command. My old MS-DOS 3.20 manual says that this is the way it was... - Alan

Changing 'Disk' to 'DISK' fixes the problem in the php code. And the other snippet definitely doesn't work on my system, with some of the resulting paths looking like w:/home/home/... No, MySQL has not been installed on my system since I did an OS reinstall last month. Previously, I had managed to get separate Apache/PHP/MySQL/Perl installations to play together, but currently that DLL only exists in D:\Web\Uniform Server\udrive\usr\local\php. Note also that my system seems to start misbehaving while Uniform Server is running; pressing the tab key in an editor causes focus to move to another window, the Back button in Firefox results in a "Save As..." dialogue window, entering text while editing this reply just stopped doing anything, etc. Obviously there is a major incompatibility between the Uniform Server and my system, and it's probably not worthwhile for either of us to work too hard to get this to work. Thanks for your assistance. - Alan

I've installed v3.5 (from the .exe) on my win98SE system but I just can't get it to work properly. First, I had to modify config.sys to increase the environment space. Second, the following code in config.inc.php caused an invalid path (/home/home/...) $drive = $_ENV['Disk'] . ":"; if($drive == ":"){ $path = realpath(dirname($_SERVER['config.inc.php'])); $pathArray = explode("\\",$path); $drive="$pathArray[0]/$pathArray[1]"; } requiring the manual insertion of $drive = "W:"; to get \home\admin\www\index.php to work properly. Then, mySQL refuses to start up, in spite of the "MySQL server started." response from the "Run MySQL" link in apanel. There are two occurences of apache and one of uniserver in Task Manager. (Also, creating this message caused no end of problems for Firefox, with keypresses doing strange things, being unable to insert, etc.) I love the idea of a complete suite of web apps, but it definitely does NOT run out of the box under Win98. - Alan
