Cannot get PHP working on home comp. Why?

[Sub_Effect]

I'm trying to set my computer up to learn PHP + mySQL. It's not web connected (this is a work machine)

I'm using Win98.

-Apache is installed succesfully and runs. Using "localhost" as the URL gives the successful page and testing configuration is okay.
-mySQL is installed succesfully and runs.
-PHP is unzipped into the relevant folder and all file adjustments have been made.

The problem is when I insert the "LoadModule php4_module c:/php/sapi/php4apache.dll" in the httpd.conf file.

Apache says it cannot open this file because:

Syntax error on line 1031 od c:/program files/apache group/apache/conf/httpd.conf:
Cannot load php4apache.dll into server: (1157) One of the library files needed to run this application cannot be found

What I know: the path for php4apache.dll is correct, all changes to files are correct without spelling errors, removing the offending line fixes Apache's problem but I cannot run localhost/phpinfo.php.

(Shame, cause it was all going so well up until then)

Can anyone help?

Hi,
may be the dll of error are dll plugin of php.
Try to find it in php directory and put in system dir or in same dir of php.exe.

Any hint: if fail, for window system you can install easyphp, for start it's great. After you can learn to install different modules from this. Look at http://www.easyphp.org/

see you

I've copied the dlls to all of the folders that they may be needed in already.

I've also tried easyphp - it didn't wokr either. I'd rather to it this way anyway as it's how I'll be doing it once I set up my site for real.

Then try
to disable all php plugins and re-enable them step by step.

FoxServ also simplifies setting up Apache/PHP/MySQL/phpMyAdmin under Windows. I've only used it on Win2000 and WinXP, but AFAIK it works on Win98.
