Hello.
I develop for school over a dial-up connection. My server at school is a linux server running apache and php and mysql. This is fine and dandy.
The problem is programming over secure shell on a dialup connection. It is outrageously slow. I cannot program in vi over dial-up using secure shell. It just does not work.
My solution is to install apache and php on my home windows box. Sure, I could dual boot and have a linux side to do this in, but I do not have the hard disk space to spare.
I installed apache on my win2k machine just fine. When I goto "http://localhost/" the webpage loads and is just fine. I spent some time configuring my httpd.conf file and my php.ini file (after I downloaded and, presumabley, installed php).
I created the following file in the document root:
<?php
// Filename: phpinfo.php
// Purpose: Tell me all about php on my machine
phpinfo();
?>
Unfortunately, when I tried to open the webpage I got the entire file just echo'd back to myself, and I did not get any sort of phpinfo.
I looked for several hours for an easy answer on php.net's website about configuration of php on a win2k machine that was running apache. There was a link about it, but it was broken and I could not find any other information that lead to positive results.
Is there another link in this forum (which I searched briefly, but not didn't find any obviously similar threads) that might be of use, or does anyone know any websites that might have some good info for me?
I also did a google search, but it did not return any love.
An email to my address or a response here on this forum would be of great use. Thank you for your time.
