Crazy! Xp Php As Module

[juschillinnow]

I am trying to install php as a module on a new computer. I really want Module and not CGI so please don't suggest that. (that doesn't seem to work either though)

Got apache 1.3.27 installed and working fine.

unzipped latest stable release of php to c:\devel\php

moved my php4ts.dll to windows\system32

moved php.ini to windows\

added the following to httpd.conf file:

LoadModule php4_module c:/devel/php/sapi/php4apache.dll

AddModule mod_php4.c

and then my AddType line is ok. I'm sure of that. When I go to services and I click on restart (or start, whichever is showing) I get the following screen:

The Apache Service Started and then Stopped. Some files were automatically stopped that were not needed.

Then Apache crashes.

If I comment out the LoadModule and AddModule lines it starts right up.

If I install php as a CGI, Apache starts but I get an Internal ERROR when trying to run any php pages from the web browser.

Thanks for the help.

got it.

Seems that the new release of php does not quite work with the old install instructions. I used the older version of php

What did you get?

My install.txt doc says much the same as yours... so what puts it right PLEASE!

I've added:

ScriptAlias /php/ "c:/php/"
Action application/x-httpd-php "/php/php.exe"
and commented out those Load/addmodule lines to get it working but have no idea if it is working in Module or other form 😕

Help graetfully received...

I just got back in town, otherwise I would have answered sooner.

Just as a warning, have a look at this page: http://www.php.net/manual/en/install.windows.php#install.windows.manual

Click on the "manually" link near the top of the page and read the warning about installing as a module on windows.

However, this is just a warning. I've installed PHP as a module on my server at home and it runs fine. However, it might not on yours.
