[pmwiki-users] Standalone Problems

[Ian Barton]

XP does contain a version of Internet Information Server, but it's not 
installed by default. It's possible that you may have installed another 
application that requires IIS - possibly the file indexing system. I 
don't have XP here so can't tell you exactly what you should be looking for.

Is Abyss running on port 80? If it is you probably don't have IIS running.

Something else you could try is to run the standalone version of PmWiki 
on a  non standard port e.g. 8080. The you could access your wiki via 
http://localhost:8080 I'm afraid I don't know how to run the stand alone 
server on port 8080, but I am sure PM could advise.
