Nachiket Shiralka #1 / 5	Basic Problem in installing PHP, Hi.. I am using Windows XP, Apache 2.0.43 and PHP 4.2.3 I did the following 1) I first installed Apache It worked properly as I got the initial web page when i typed http://localhost:8080 in IE. 2) Then I unzipped the PHP zip file in a directory C:\php4 and copied the php4ts.dll file in C:\windows\system32 3) I then edited httpd.conf in the apache directory and added the following lines ScriptAlias /php4/ "C:/php4" AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .phtml Action application/x-httpd-php /php4/php.exe I created a small php test file phpinfo.php Then i started the apache server again and type http://localhost/phpinfo.php I got the message file not found. Am I missing some steps. I tried to find installation tutorial on php.net but it was not of much help. Thanks for any help, -Nachiket

Bob Steven #2 / 5	Basic Problem in installing PHP, I never recommend anyone ever install PHP like that. Copy the php4apache2.dll into the modules directory of Apache and use the following statement to load it into Apache: LoadModule php4_module c:/path/to/apache/modules/php4apache2.dll AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .phtml That should get you set up. You'll also find that PHP runs faster in that configuration than it does as an aliased binary. Hope this helps.

Only the third one matches yours. (The fourth one is probably not necessary.) But I think the first one is critical. All of this was taken straight from the text book: PHP fast & easy web development by Julie C. Meloni, Premier Press 1 LoadModule php4_module C:/apps/php/sapi/php4apache.dll 2 AddModule mod_php4.c 3 AddType application/x-httpd-php .phtml .php 4 AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps

Nachiket Shiralka #4 / 5	Basic Problem in installing PHP, The load moodule line is giving me a problem the apache windows starts and then closes immediately. If i comment out this line then atleast apache works. Nachiket P. Shiralkar Quote: > > I am using Windows XP, Apache 2.0.43 and PHP 4.2.3 I did the following > > 1) I first installed Apache.

Bob Steven #5 / 5	Basic Problem in installing PHP, Sounds to me like a path/permissions error. Are you using php4apache.dll or php4apache2.dll? php4apache.dll is not designed for Apache 2 (hence the php4apache2.dll file).
