well, but can i instead install the php4??? And if not, i dont know which instructions to follow, yesterday i found ones but they were very short and i had other issues, so i would rather installl php4, if it works.
As long as you are not planning on taking advantage of the OOP nature of PHP5 (and some of the other PHP5 features) then sure, install it. In fact, when you are comfortable with it, you can install PHP5 on the same machine and choose which you want to run.
oh my god, i have another problem. Now i installed my php.msi file and all and apache doesnt work. It appears a console with this printed:
It is only permited one use of each direction of socket <protocol/net direction/port> :make_sock could not bind to adress 0.0.0.0:80
no listening sockets available, shuting down
Unable to open logs
I tryed but in the instruction file there is not much to do, it says that to configure for apache 2 just make sure things have \ instead of / in the adrese
Well, m apache does start on startup of PC. but i cant run it if i closed it on start up because the past mssage appears (the one i posted up).
I installed PHP5 manually. but still my *.php files wont run, or know which app to use.
How are you trying to run them? Double clicking them generally isn't set up to process them.
This overall seems like it's too much headache to deal with, so I'll suggest using xampp or one of the other packages that installs MySQL, Apache and PHP at once already set up to work with each other.
