Newbie - problem getting php to run with Apache
Posted: Wed Jul 26, 2006 6:38 am
Hi
I have followed the instructions to get php running with apache on Windows XP home. Using apache apache_2.2.2-win32-x86-no_ssl and php-4.4.2-Win32(2)
I have, as instructed, placed php.ini in the php4 folder, checkd the paths, and have added the following code to the bottom of the apache config file:
LoadModule php4_module "c:/php4/php4apache2.dll"
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .php3 .phps
# configure the path to php.ini
PHPIniDir "c:/php4"
I have created a file phpinfo.php and placed it in the htdocs folder.
When I open my browser and type localhost/phpinfo.php I get
<?php echo phpinfo() ?>
When I 'uncomment' the LoadModule and AddType and PHPIniDir, Apache won't start.
When I comment them up, Apache works ok, but clearly doesnt' read the php.
I have spent hours trying to find out what's wrong, but cant get any further.
Anyone got any suggestsion, please?
