PHP installation issues - Suggestions please

[antoine]

I have installed PHP4 on windows XP and Apache server. The apache server is working fine but it is not picking up php.exe or so I think as my files are not getting interpreted. I would like to know if there is a way of finding out what is exactly happening when I do http://localhost/test.php. How can I find out. I reckon it is just a directory issue in the httpd.conf file but I am not sure where nor how to check if it is looking in the right place for php.exe. I have looked at the error.log and increased the messaged to DEBUG but still do not get a message saying whether it is looking for php.exe in the righ place. I have alos looked at access.log but this is not that helpful. Any ideas would be gratefully received as I have just spent almost a day looking at this problem.

Thank you very much in advance for your help

make sure you have these lines in your httpd.conf:

LoadModule php4_module c:/apache/php/sapi/php4apache.dll
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php

note: you may need to change c:/apache/php/sapi/php4apache.dll to wherever php4apache.dll is located on your system. do a search for it if you're not sure.
