        this message indicates that the specified config file does not exist in the specified location. if you do not want to create the config file yourself you may copy the sample from the following page:
        http://osbtools.googlepages.com/tutorial.config.html

      hi nobody

      open site builder is a php program that needs php installed on your machine.

      if you do not have php (and apache) installed you may use the official php package from http://www.php.net/ and apache distribution from http://httpd.apache.org/ or use one of the integrated packages available on the net, like easyphp at http://www.easyphp.org/ that install and configure apache/php/mysql in seconds.

      when you have php on your machine you may place all osb* files into apache document root subdirectory and call it from your browser by the following address: http://localhost/osb/osb.php

      Ok I do not seem to follow these install instructions.
      I installed Apache first then PHP. I am not that sure where the apache root subdirectory is. So I went to programs directory on my c: drive and found the apache install placing the OSB folder in the apache foundations/apache2.2 folder.
      Things do not seem to be running for me.
      I run my browser ( firefox ) amd type the http://localhost/osb/osb.php simply to find :
      Not Found

      The requested URL /osb/osb.php was not found on this server.

      Any suggestions.
      I would like to try out the OSB environment but have no clue as to what is needed to run PHP and Apache in my windows world.

        first of all you need to locate your apache document root folder which is htdocs by default. look for something like c:/program files/Apache group/apache2/htdocs. any documents here are accessible via http://localhost/ url in your browser. move osb folder here.

        then you need do configure apache to run with php so that it executes the .php scripts when they are called rather than just send the source of the script to the browser. locate httpd.cong file in your apache2/conf folder. see the following page for the instructions:

        http://www.php.net/manual/en/install.windows.apache2.php

        you will need "Installing as an Apache module" section. actually you will need to add these 2 lines to the end of your httpd.conf file:

        LoadModule php5_module "c:/php/php5apache2.dll"
        AddType application/x-httpd-php .php

        if you use apache 2.2 you may have to change php5apache2.dll to php5apache2_2.dll.

        restart apache.

        what happens?

      If you download "WAMP Server" from www.wampserver.com and install that it will fix all your trouble.

      "WAMP" stands for "Windows, Apache, MySQL, PHP" and it is a worry free solution to Apache and PHP installs in your personal windows machine.

      Give it a shot, I hope this helps.
