Cannot Config Apache 2.0.4 to work with PHP 4.2.3

Xycron

I installed Apache and it ran fine. I could view the default page and there were not any problems. I then downloaded and manualy started to install PHP4.2.3(I had tried the exe file before and it did not work). I starting to configure it and it did not work whenever I had to add the line of

LoadModule php4_module c:/PHP/experimental/apache2filter.dll

to my Apache httpd.conf file. I cannot even find this .dll file in my PHP folder, I do not have it. I have downloaded previous version of PHP and cannot find the file.

I need help to set this up. Please either post here or contact me VIA AIM or ICQ(Info in Profile). Thanks.

Detailed steps I did to setup PHP and Apache.

I copied and renamed C:\PHP\php.ini-recommended to the c:\windows folder.

Copied C:\PHP\php4ts.dll to c:\windows\system

Opened the httpd.conf file and inserted the line LoadModule php4_module c:/PHP/experimental/apache2filter.dll after all the other Module lines. Then right after that I added AddType application/x-httpd-php .php.

Then I edited the PHP.ini File and added doc_root = C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache2\htdocs.

You should add:
LoadModule php4_module c:/php/sapi/php4apache2.dll
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .php3 .phtml
AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps

(Notice it is php4apache2.dll if you are running apache2.x)

That did it. Thank you so very much.

I want to break down and cry now. I did everything right when trying to get the damned module to work right:

In httpd.default:
LoadModule php4_module c:/PHP4.2.3/php-4.2.3-Win32/sapi/php4apache2.dll
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .phtml
AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps
DocumentRoot "c:/Websites"
<Directory "c:/Websites">

In php.ini:
doc_root = ";c:\Websites"
extension_dir = ";c:\PHP4.2.3\php-4.2.3-Win32\extensions"

and that's about all. Everytime I try accessing index.php directly (by typing in "localhost/index.php"), it gives me a "Object not found!" error page.🙁 I doubt that running all of this on XP has anything to do with it, but it's worth mentioning. Oh, and I know that php-4.2.3-Win32 might seem like a long directory name for Apache, considering it's about as picky as DOS when typing out directories, but i tried shortening it to php-4.~1, but Apache didn't start up, so I obviously changed it back.

Oh yeah, I've copied php4ts.dll to c:\Windows\System32 and php-dist.ini to c:\Windows and renamed it php.ini. You know, the only reason I really downloaded Apache this time is because IIS 5.1 was giving me crap when trying to run PHP; it wouldn't let me add any new extensions, so I uninstalled IIS🙂 Thanks in advance to anyone who can figure out what I've messed up this time.

[edit]
I stand corrected. using "php-4.~1" does work. I think I might have typed in "php-4~1" before. Still gives me a stupid error. Do I need to type in "AddModule php4_module mod_php4.c" like other sites say I need to in order to run the SAPI version correctly? I need stress relief. Time for AA😮!
