## Important: Installation issue on XP
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
After you've installed SilverStripe on XP using WebPI. You'll need to make a configuration change to get it working.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Specifically, you need to configure XP not to check that a script file exists before executing the script. This is
|
|
|
|
|
necessary for URLs of the form http://localhost/silverstripe/index.php/about-us/ to work.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Open IIS Administrator
|
|
|
|
|
* Expand the local computer tree node
|
|
|
|
|
* Expand the Web Sites tree node
|
|
|
|
|
* Right click on "Default Web Site" and select "Properties"
|
|
|
|
|
* Select the "Home Directory" Tab.
|
|
|
|
|
* Click the "Configuration Button towards the bottom on the right
|
|
|
|
|
* Select the "Mappings" Tab
|
|
|
|
|
* Find the .php mapping, select it and click the "Edit" button
|
|
|
|
|
* Make sure the check box "Check that file exists" is cleared.
|
|
|
|
|
* Hit OK's all the way back up and restart IIS
