Installing PHP v4.0 and Apache 2.0 using WAMP5 on Windows XP
Posted: Fri Apr 16, 2010 11:55 am
I am wondering if anyone can help me or at least point me in the right direction.
So recently I have been trying to install PHP 5, Apache 2.2 and MySQL 5 on to my windows XP system using WAMP 5 installation.
I was successful in doing so and everything installed and worked... except I am using Dreamweaver MX 6.1 and although I was able to create .php pages and they worked fine I was unable to get Dreamweaver to connect to MySQL database. Every time I tried I would get an "Unknown Error Has Occured" After several hours of searching out this issue I found out that the version of Dreamweaver I am using has issues with PHP 5 and Apache 2.2 and that it will not work with those versions. I discovered that from a blog of someone else with the same issue that this can be resolved by simply installing PHP 4.0 and Apache 2.0.
The issue I am having now is I want to use WAMP server, however the latest WAMP server comes with PHP 5.0 and Apache 2.2 after researching more I discovered that you can (supposedly) install the latest WAMP server and than just download PHP4.0 and Apache 2.0 and and install them into the "bin" directory. I am new to all of this PHP and Apache stuff and am not confident that I can manually configure everything so I am looking for a SIMPLE way to get this set up. Should I be looking for an older version of WAMP to start with and if so how come I am unable to find older versions of WAMP on the official WAMP download site ?
Please Help !
