Well, in the hope that someone else will have to go through less hours of painstaking reasearch and testing... For anyone else having this issue (running phpdig on a Windows server) the problem appears to have been that the three directories...
Code:
[PHPDIG_DIR]/text_content
[PHPDIG_DIR]/includes
[PHPDIG_DIR]/admin/temp
...needed to have their permissions set to the Windows equivalent of read/write/execute (or maybe just read/write I'm not sure, I'm not good with these damn Windows servers...
). Unfortunately, seeing as I have no direct access to the server the site runs on, this involved me calling up the company who does run the server and asking them to change the permissions for me. This was after I had been bugging them for like a week or two for all sorts of other issues with the server from setting up PHP properly to giving me proper access to phpMyAdmin, turning on display_errors in PHP etc. etc. etc. God, what a hassle.
I have had a MUCH easier time installing phpdig on *nix servers in the past... Which is not surprising I guess. Damn your eyes, Bill!
