hi

you can set your datadir to whatever directory you want

your php files must be stored in a dir that your web server has access to, check the settings of the server

Under PWS the default directory is c:\

http://www\root\

you can make any number of subdirectories under this. PHP pages need to be executed, so ensure that the parent directory has execute permissions.

There is an IIS forum if you have more questins about that, which can be found here: forum41 data directory can be set at startup using --data-dir = /path/to/data, and under windows NT data can be stored on different drives :
