Two Questions

[memeadmin]

Where can I, as a paid user, download the latest version?
How come I didn't receive an email notification regarding the latest release? Can I sign up somewhere to be notified?

Lastly, I'm attempting to install on a new server - messaged you awhile back as my Win2k server had a missing .DLL the installer wanted. I've since found that file courtesy of our friends at Google.

Now I'm running into that newbie issues (yes, I'll admit it upfront so snicker all ya want ;) ) where the site keeps telling me it won't run due to ACL issues - not allowed to access the page - 403.1 error.

I went back to run the tester to see if I had other issues and the tester won't run either. I've given all the security rights anyone needs to make changes to the PHP files and still not luck - HELP! :D

The trial and paid versions are the same. You can download from the Free Download page or the Support page.

New Releases: http://www.easyphpcalendar.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2297

Additionally, when the calendar is installed, it can be configured to check for new versions.

I'm not familiar with ACL issues or 403.1 errors. However, it sounds like a server configuration issue?

ACL = Access Control List aka user permissions in the Windows world.

So you're running IIS... And then you're getting a 403.1 error which means that "execute" was not allowed. I'm gonna take a wild guess and say that this is your own server as you said you were missing a .dll and had to find it (a hosting company would have done this themselves). So it comes back to how you configured your site on your IIS.

If you have access to the Windows server, go to the Internet Services Manager, select your site, select "Properties", go to the "Home Directory" tab, and check "[x] Execute" (Windows NT 4). On Windows 2000 or XP, its a little different, you need to select "Execute Permissions: [Scripts and Executables]" from the dropdown. You do not need to reboot the computer after making the change, though on older systems it may be necessary to restart the web service.

Then make sure that the folder where your files are (not from IIS but from My Computer) that the IIS service has Execute permissions.

If this still doesn't work, you might want to take a gander at the PHP FAQs as they have very detailed explanations on how to setup PHP on IIS.

Good luck!

Thank you very much for the suggestions! I'm going to give these a shot and report back here. If this resolves it can we get a sticky thread somewhere for Windows l4m3rs like me Brian? :P

Seriously, I'm sure this will come up again.

Thanks!

OK - so I needed to reinstall PHP for whatever reason - now it's running but I get these errors on the setup page:

http://192.168.50.109/calendar/images/pageHeader.jpgIt appears this is the first time you are using the EasyPHPCalendar Script.
To get started, we need to create the Master Administrator's user name and password.

HELP? :D

This first error message is your hint..

Warning: session_start() [function.session-start]: open(E:\WEB_ROOT\sessiondata\sess_25d4481bdfcd407e 7aaca46b36fdeeb6, O_RDWR) failed: Permission denied (13) in E:\WEB_ROOT\CAL\calendar\setup\index.php on line 14

It seems you haven't given permission to your PHP installation to write to E:\WEB_ROOT\sessiondata\

Once you fix that error, the rest will go away - they're all about session cookies or header information.

Thanks - that solved it!
