Well, in that case, let me throw out a couple of things - I have no
idea if they have any impact or not.

Thing #1:
I read somewhere along the line that the setting of "read-only"
property on the PHP folder (and it's sub-folders) had some kind of an
effect on things. I noticed the other day that the PHP folder (and the
MySQL folder) had their read-only property checked.

I un-checked them and told it to apply the change to all sub-folders.
For some unknown reason, the change was applied only to the top
folder. I manually went through and changed them all. I tried running
things again but it made no difference. When I was done, I took
another look at the PHP folder and found that it had magically been
changed back to read-only again!

So, I don't know if this would even affect the operation of PHP and/or
MySQL. But, in any case, I can't for the life of me guess what is
resetting this property to read-only.

Thing #2:
The computer I'm trying to get this to work on is a brand new Lenovo
(used to be IBM) with a Pentium 4 processor that has "HyperThreading
Technology". I think I read somewhere that PHP and/or MySQL has a
problem with this (I do not know where I saw this and I read it before
even starting to get this machine set up).

Any thoughts? Could either of these be an issue here?

Thanks.

Martin
