Mencarta Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 I have Apache and MySql installed but I can't figure out how to install PHP 5.3.1. Any help? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justsomeguy Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 It sounds trite, but the best resource is the official manual. Even from the first time I installed PHP, I followed the instructions to the letter and it came up working. It will end up taking you about 30-45 minutes to read through and manually install it, but once it's done you should have a good understanding about how PHP is working together with the web server. This is the general installation section:http://www.php.net/manual/en/install.phpNot all of that is necessary though. Specifically, you'll want to read the manual installation steps:http://www.php.net/manual/en/install.windows.manual.phpThen the specific instructions for the server you're using:http://www.php.net/manual/en/install.windows.apache2.phpMaybe follow that up with the description about extensions:http://www.php.net/manual/en/install.windows.extensions.phpThey mention that there's a Windows installer, but since that installs with a set of default options and extensions it doesn't really give you a lot of flexibility, doing it manually would probably be preferred. Like I said, it sounds trite, but if you pay attention to the instructions and follow every one you shouldn't have any problems. The most time-consuming part will be when you're scrolling through php.ini reading about the different options and deciding how you want to set them. There's a description about php.ini here:http://www.php.net/manual/en/configuration.file.php Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mencarta Posted January 23, 2010 Author Share Posted January 23, 2010 I followed the instructions but I keep getting the long error that a bunch of files are missing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justsomeguy Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 I don't think I'm familiar with that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mencarta Posted January 23, 2010 Author Share Posted January 23, 2010 Like ntwdlb.dll (Don't know if that is the file). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justsomeguy Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 If you want someone to help you with this, you're going to need to make it easy to help you. A specific error message would be a good start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
23.12.2012 Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 As far as I'm concerned, the DLL errors are Windows-specific, the PHP should not be the cause of the errors he gets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boen_robot Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 At what point does the error occur? And like it was said already - what exactly is the error message? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mencarta Posted January 23, 2010 Author Share Posted January 23, 2010 At what point does the error occur? And like it was said already - what exactly is the error message?Whenever I try to parse a php script. Like I said to, its a bunch of error messages that says a bunch of files are missing.

justsomeguy Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 There's not enough information for me to be able to help, so maybe do a Google search for one of the filenames (it will help if you use one of the actual filenames, instead of an example of what a filename may look like). This just doesn't return a lot of useful results:http://www.google.com/search?client=opera&...-8&oe=utf-8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boen_robot Posted January 24, 2010 Share Posted January 24, 2010 Whenever I try to parse a php script. Like I said to, its a bunch of error messages that says a bunch of files are missing. Any PHP script, or a particular one? Even this script?<?php phpinfo(); ?> Have you extracted the whole PHP archive into a single folder? It sounds to me as if you're just having the "exe" file in a folder, and you don't have the rest with it.What changes did you made to your httpd.conf to enable PHP? How does it look like?
