few words: beeing just a "poor" translator...:-) I came over the point with install.txt from win-distrib and install.xml because of the mail with subject [PHP-DOC] Bug #13523: doc_root where a guy mentionend docs saying to set doc_root for installation with PWS. Had a look in the manual and saw the diffs. I didn't know, from which sources install.txt is generated/produced. @phil: The install.txt says to set doc_root in php.ini, but this is not mentionend in the manual. Is it a good idea tell people to set doc_root on win for default? May be you can spent the time and look at the mentioned mail/bug-report ([PHP-DOC] Bug #13523: doc_root). The manual says (for php.ini): "doc_root string PHP's "root directory" on the server. Only used if non-empty. If PHP is configured with safe mode, no files outside this directory are served." What about doc_root set and PHP not in safe mode? This point should be clarified, imo. If I can help, let me know. so far Friedhelm
