[Chameleon] Newbie Startup Question

[Tracy Howlett]

Hi,

Actually I have gone through the documentation put together by Nicolas (I'm
on XP with IIS) and now the application won't load at all!!  All was fine
until I made the changes to the PHP.ini file.  I'm now going back and
undoing each change one by one to see where the problem is.

Tracy

did you see the recent emails regarding setup with IIS?  Did this solve 
your problem?

Cheers,
