I have the following config & problem:
Apache Version:2.0.46 (Win32) 
PHP Version: PHP/4.3.2
Mysql: 3.23.49

at:
http://localhost/chat/html/admin/install.php

i get:

i try .\ ...
i try c:\php4\pear\ ...
i try ..\..\ ...
i try ..\..\includes\ ...
file found under ..\..\includes

----------------subnote-------------------------
in php.info i see (include_path .;c:\php4\pear .;c:\php4\pear )
I go into php.ini and search for php4 i get nothing...so i dont have a
php4\pear folder however i have C:\php\php-4.3.2-Win32\PEAR  but it's displayed differently?? any idea about this??
----------------endsubnote----------------------    
@http://localhost/chat/html/admin/install.php

Step:  1
Enter:
Username: "is this the username created in the database? / or is this to create a new user??"
Password: as above
Databasehost: localhost

I have edited the php.ini as follows:

include_path = ".;c:\php\includes; C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache2\htdocs\chat\includes"

and the http.conf as follows:
ScriptAlias /php/ "C:/php/php-4.3.2-Win32/"

AddType application/x-httpd-php .php

Action application/x-httpd-php "/php/php-4.3.2-Win32/php.exe"

<Directory "C:/Program Files/Apache Group/Apache2/htdocs/chat/html">

DirectoryIndex index.html index.html.var index.php

I have a database called: phpopenchat
And in Mysql table User exist: 'localhost' ,'phpopenchat', '1234', 'Y', 'Y', 'Y', 'Y', 'Y'etc

Well I cant think of any more stuff to put in here to help you locate my problem, if you need more config, let me konw.

Well, i had to put the php.ini in the c:/winnt directory for a starter... it was the first time I came across this, apache read's the default ini file if not found in c:/winnt directory.

However....

Now i get a error when trying to connect to the database, I have doubled checked the database,password and host syntax....

error connecting to the database..... is all i get
hrmf.....

I have implmented phpnukes module clear chat, but its not really my cup of tea...

also tried the php-chat -also another module of php nuke....and that one is full of bugs.....niebother!

any other ideas about chat appz......???

Regads

It all works fine now....
The next step is to change the template.
tpl files hmmm what are those exactly?
What are your recomendations for changing them.
