ThePsion5 Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 I've been beating myself up trying to install PHP with an Apache server, and no matter what I try nothing seems to work. I'm running Windows XP with Apache version 2.0.55, I've tried installing PHP 4.4.2 and PHP 5.1.2 and so far nothing's worked. I've moved the various DLL files into the system folder, added the "C:\PHP" line to the PATH variable, added all the needed lines of code to the Apache config file, and so far it's either broken Apache or simply not worked. Has anyone else encountered these problems, and if so what did you do to solve them? So far the guides I've found online have been virtually useless.

ThePsion5 Posted February 6, 2006 Author Share Posted February 6, 2006 Update:I downloaded the complete PHP 5.1.2 install, and added these two commands to the httpd file:LoadModule php5_module "c:/PHP/php5apache2.dll"AddType application/x-httpd-php .phpPHPIniDir "C:/ PHP"After this, the apache service monitor (at the bottom of the window) but php commands still don't work. A tutorial said that I should add the line "AddModule mod_php5.c" to the config file, but when I do Apache crashes upon starting/restarting. Any Ideas?(Sorry to double post) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rappo Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 I also tried this out a while ago. As I was encountering frustration like you, I felt like it wasn't really worth it :)You could probably find your mistakes if you want, but I think that it's easiest to download an all-in-one package, like WAMP (http://www.en.wampserver.com/download.php). It even has a nice little interface that allows you to easily enable/disable the services. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
