does not work with windows 7
As Webmatrix will not work in Windows 7, what do you suggest? My old XP machines won't last forever. Is there a replacement for Webmatrix, or am I on my own?

Here is the log when I attempt to load a HTML site. Any ideas? If Dunnock is correct and this is not a WebMatrix issue, what is it?
Thank you.

you get Error 500 always when you got error in your PHP script. Your script looks to be malformed anyway's so this is not WebMatrix issue by any means.

I've done some hunting, found a log file and determined that Webmatrix is looking for the files to display in a folder other than where the files are located. How can I edit the settings to redirect Webmatrix to display files in their current directory?

Is that of any help?

Hey there - WebMatrix should work great on Windows XP, Windows 7, and Windows 8. Are you having a problem installing it? Are you getting any errors? Any details would be helpful.
