Hi

Has anyone encountered problems running a local website on Vista.

Never had a problem when I ran xampp on XP. I keep getting a dialogue box pop-up with a message asking 'Do you want to save this file, or find a program online to open it?'

This happens everytime I try to load my website when I type http://localhost/championfh in the browser.

I've loaded Xampp Version 1.6.7 which I thought had been modified for Vista, and have checked that xampp is loaded. If you type 'localhost' it finds the default xampp home page.

Hello,

what file do you call when opening localhost/championfh? I guess you have an index.* file inside the championsfh folder, could you post the code of this file?

It souns like either the script delivers a wrong header or the extension of the file is wrong.

Hi G

Yes, my site calls an index.php file from the championfh folder.

Can't see how to insert a file so I have copied the code.

Yeah, adding files is not possible here, pasting Code was good.

You call a function on line 11:

Code: Select all: tng_header( $text[mnuheader], $flags );

Could you put this code directly before this function:

Code: Select all: header("Content-type: text/plain"); echo "Header: ".$text['mnuheader']."\n\n"Flags: "$flags; exit;

and then try to call the site. What output do you get?

Hi G,

I applied the change, but still get the same dialogue box message.

OK, then you have to post every included file. Maybe the header is already sent out earlier in the code.
