 * Hello, I’m trying to move a site from local to a server. I know PHP Is already
   installed and functioning on the server, as it is also the host of another website
   that uses PHP.
 * Here are the errors I’m receiving.
 * Root DirectoryFail
    Path: …. myPath\wwwroot\ [Fail] Is Writable by PHP [Fail]
   Contains only one zip file Result = No package file found Note: Manual extraction
   still requires the archive.zip file
 * i have the installer.php file and the zip archive file in that wwwroot folder
   and that is all.
 * So when i go to [http://www.mysite.com](http://www.mysite.com)\installer.php 
   i get that error above.
 * The server is running Windows 2008 Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 * Its probably a permissions issue. PHP is unable to read the archive file… The
   FAQ has some tips on working with permissions…
 * Hope that helps!
