You'll need to grant modify permission to NETWORK SERVICE for the folder C:\tmp. Run the below command in the command prompt:

cacls /t /e /g "NETWORK SERVICE":c c:\tmp

Tommy,
I did and do have Windows XP SP3. My firewall was turned off.
I turned it On, but http://127.0.0.1/.../phpinfo.php is not working.
I turned it Off, and http://127.0.0.1/.../phpinfo.php is not working
and telnet commands don't show anything ...
Any other idea ?
TIA, Cor

1) Did you run that command for granting permission of NETWORK SERVICE for the c:\tmp? and restart IIS?
2) run 'netstat -ano' without the single quote in the command prompt and show me what you see.
3) Use word pad and put in the below content and save it as itworks.htm (text type) in c:\inetpub\wwwroot

<html>
<body>
<h1>It works!</h1>
</body></html>

then use your web browser and go to http://localhost/itworks.htm

4) Did you check to see if there are any errors in the System and Application event logs?

Having in php.ini: error_log = C:\tmp\PHPerror.log
I gave from the command prompt:
cacls /t /e /g "NETWORK SERVICE":c c:\tmp
then in IE: http://127.0.0.1/.../phpinfo.php
and still "Connecting / Waiting for .../phpinfo.php"

Apparently it is not a write permission problem.
