Unable to display configure web page while installation

I am working on Windows XP and when entering http://localhost/foswiki/bin/configure on the browser, I am not getting a webpage, but raw scripts, which I cannot edit nor see any of the settings as outlined in the installation guide.

I have performed the following steps:

1. Installed Apache 2.2.17 into C:\www 2. Installed ActivePerl 5.12.2.1202 in C: 3. Extracted Foswiki 1.1.2 into C:\www\htdocs I have also renamed LocalLib.cfg.txt into LocalLib.cfg and entered the right path of foswiki/lib as C:/www/htdocs/foswiki/lib. I have set attrib -r*, performed perl rewriteshebang.pl and configured the webserver using the apacheconfiggenerator on foswiki support website. I have also added the line

#Include conf/foswiki.conf in httpd.conf file.

I restarted Apache. I am having problem in the next step, when I type http://localhost/foswiki/bin/configure on the browser, I am not able to get the web page that I am supposed to see.

Please help!!

Did you actually add that line literally as you wrote above? The # is a comment and causes the line to be ignored. It should read:

Include conf/foswiki.conf

Thanks for your reply George, I tried adding without # but Apache fails to start.

So, I used the statement with #. It is working fine now after adding some scripts to enable CGI and adding extensions to configure as configure.pl. Am happy.
