Hi,
I'm hoping I'm missing something obvious...
I downloaded Drupal and stuck it in the www (the root dir) of my local install of IBServer - and I get the following message when I browse to my loacalhost (although I do get redirected to install.php):
Fatal error: Call to undefined function: file_get_contents() in c:\program files\ibserver\www\includes\common.inc

I'm kind of at a loss - I'm not really far enough along to in the installation process to troubleshoot anything. Just an FYI, I do have default.settings.php and settings.php in my \www\sites\default dir, and they have the right permissions.

Anyone seen this or know how I fix it?

Thanks!

Sounds like you have an old version of PHP installed. Check your version using this: http://php.about.com/od/troubleshooting/qt/php_version.htm

You should be using a version beginning with 5.

Thanks so much, that's exactly what the problem was - I got rid of IBserver (using php 4.3) and installed the latest version of WampServer. Thanks for the help.
