GDay All,
When I go to localhost/joomla instead of the index.php page executing it
wants to be downloaded. I know this is something simple to fix but what
gets me is that I have other installations of php based cms packages
that are all working fine.
What am I missing here?
Can someone point me in the right direction please.
Regards
Andy M

You did not setup application mapping of .php to your PHP
installation. Thus, .php is treated as static file by IIS and
downloaded by IE.
You have a bug in the installer or installation process of PHP.

GDay All,
David, thanks for the reply. However, I don't think that is the problem.
My application mapping points to \php\php5isapi.dll.
I do have php installed and working!! but for some reason I cannot get
this installation of joomla to work. Every time I navigate to this
particular folder it insists on wanting to download the file rather than
display it as normally would happen.
The other installations of joomla, drupal etc. I have on this machine
display and run as they should.
I think this is a file permissions issue but I really don't know what.
I've been going through IIS services and now I seem to have screwed it
up even more. Logging on to localhost I now get a 403 error instead of
the standard welcome to IIS page.
What am I doing wrong here??

GDay All,
Ok, I have fixed the localhost welcome page problem but I am still
having the problem where the index.php wants to be downloaded instead of
being executed/displayed.
I could really use some help on this.

GDay All,
Ok I have managed to solve the problem of the index.php page wanting to
download instead of executing/displaying.
It turns out that my shortcut to this folder had an address pointing to
the actual folder instead of the proper http: address ... Doh!!!
Some mothers do have 'em .....
