[wamp] apache won't start

I figured out why my scripts didn't work. Didn't have PHP installed. So now I installed it as per the instructions found here:

http://docs.joomla.org/Setting_up_Apach ... L_manually

I put my zip file in the newly created PHP folder as instructed, unzipped it.

Question, I have a Program Files folder and a Program Files(x86) folder. I put my PHP unzipped files in the regular Program Files folder. Hope thats right.

Then I went to the php.ini file in the php folder and changed the line in the instructions.

Next I went to the httpd.conf file in apache and made the changes there.

I stopped Apache and the tried to restart it. The toolbar icon stays yellow. The log file only shows warnings.

I know there is a setting that is wrong. Just dont know which one. I am attaching my httpd.conf file in case someone spots something. I can post my php.ini file if need be.

Thanks for the help.

I just checked and my phpmyadmin site wont load either. Also, if I double click php.exe in the PHP folder I get a dos window. What goes in there to install it?

What do you get in logs? Specifically this one: c:/wamp/logs/apache_error.log
