I am installing on a Win2k Server with IIS.
After the install script runs and I hit the login.php script I get the following error message:

Fatal error: Failed opening required 'include/config.inc.php' (include_path='c:\php4\pear') in D:\blah-blah\cpg132\include\init.inc.php on line 201

The include_path c:\php4\pear is wrong.  I looked on the server and it should be c:\php\pear.  I have no idea where the php4 is coming from.  It is not in config.inc.php or init.inc.php

Anyone have any clues?

You haven't properly set up your server - this has nothing to do with Coppermine.  I recommend reading the php documentation at www.php.net on how to install PHP on an IIS server.

Hmmm... well... it's not my server.  If it was it would be running apache/linux.

I did check the php.ini file but I did not see the offending include path.

I suppose I'll have to wait for the sysadmin guy to fix it.  Maybe I'll poke around in the php documentation a little.

Solved my problem by copying the php.ini file from c:\winnt to the root of my website. 
This I can modify at will and since php looks in the root of my website first it gets executed  before the system default.

I corrected the actual problem by uncommenting the include_path statement which I believe the sysadmin should have done in the first place.

; UNIX: "/path1:/path2" 
;include_path = ".:/php/includes"
;
; Windows: "\path1;\path2"
include_path = ".;c:\php\includes"

I also modified the gd extension so it would use gd2 instead of gd1.

;extension=php_fdf.dll
;extension=php_filepro.dll
extension=php_gd2.dll
;extension=php_gettext.dll
;extension=php_hyperwave.dll

I don't know if Coppermine will detect that I am now using gd2 or not.  It selected gd1 during the install process.  Since I am just getting started I think I may just nuke my tables, delete the install.lock file and re-install from scratch.

Glad you were able to solve this on your own. You won't have to re-install coppermine. Just log in as admin, go to "config" from the admin menu and change "Method for resizing images" from "GD1" to "GD2" and save your settings, that's all.
