Hi,
I just installe apache+mysql+php on my pc which runs windows NT 4
I'm having trouble making php to work.
Apache and my sql seem to work but not php.
I know I have to add php to the httpd.conf of apace but I don't know how.
And if I need to do something with php.ini?

Thanks

is that a good version for a live server and just for testing?

it is no different from installing PHP, Apache and MySQL seperately.

All the package does that i mentioned is install them all at once with everything set-up ready to go.

Easy peasy :wink:

If you're installing these packages on a live server you need to learn more about how to configure each of them to ensure that they are stable and secure. i.e. you must read the installation and configuration information for each throughly and follow the security recommendations. The all-in-one packages tend to be more geared towards development server installations and should not be assumed to be fine on a live server without some tweaking.

go to php.net and make sure it was set up for windows.

it may have set something up for a posix installation that needs to be dif on windows

I d/l the package phptriad 2.2.1 but I can still not make php work.

I started the apache web server, and I created a php document with the tutorial code from php.net and saved it in the apache htdocs directory.

I can open localhost in my web browser but if I write localhost/hello.php I only get a blank page.
Is there something more I should do?
