i went through all of this and i still get that i have to load the file or save the file. but when i test the configuration its syntax is ok

    Do u have something like this in your httpd conf file

    LoadModule php4_module e:/php/sapi/php4apache.dll
    AddModule mod_php4.c
    AddType application/x-httpd-php .php

    ScriptAlias /php/ "e:/php/"
    Action application/x-httpd-php "/php/php.exe"
    AddType application/x-httpd-php .php3

    Second part is optional... but first part is required

      here i dont think my last reply worked so here it is again
      i put that in like the tutorial said but i still get the file download screen.
      just so your know the script i am trying to use is:
      <?php
      phpinfo() ;
      ?>

      ty for trying to help me. people on other sites havent been any help

        #LoadModule php4_module e:/php/sapi/php4apache.dll
        #AddModule mod_php4.c
        #AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
        does it matter were i put it though?
        i just randomly placed it

          remove those # symbols before statements
          it doesnt matter where u put...
          Also change e:/php/sapi/php4apache.dll to your php directory

            php directory? mine is just saved at c:/php the goes through all the sub folders so do i just have to change it from c to e ?

              yeah... you should find php4apache.dll in c:\php\sapi\
              so just change e to c
              if that doesn work out give me the following details in your next post

              PHP Directory
              Apache Directory

                directory for which files ( sry im not quit sure i follow.)
                for php everything is saved under c:/php4.3/php-4.3.7-Win32/then so on
                that is what i changed it to in my httpd file
                for apache it c:/program files/apache group/ apache/ then so on
                like i said im not sure thats what your looking for though

                  okay... now rename c:/php4.3/php-4.3.7-Win32/ to c:/php/

                  and paste the following in your httpd file

                  LoadModule php4_module c:/php/sapi/php4apache.dll
                  AddModule mod_php4.c
                  AddType application/x-httpd-php .php

                  did u edit ur php.ini file?
                  assign doc_root to your apache directory
                  something like
                  doc_root = "C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache\htdocs"

                  remember there shouldnt be # before statements in httpd conf file and no ; before statements in php.ini

                    i dont get the file download thing but i now get the cannot find server page.
                    u mean no # at all because every line except the lines i put in have that in front of it.

                      when i go to restart apache though it tells me it cant load the php4apache file but im sure the directory is right

                      and now i do get the save the file thing again. i just dont get it

                        u mean no # at all because every line except the lines i put in have that in front of it.

                        Yeah no # symbols... # means comment... so Apache doesnt execute those lines... dont use # before the three lines of PHP module

                        when i go to restart apache though it tells me it cant load the php4apache but im sure the directory is right

                        goto php directory that you specified in httpd.conf and see if you can find php4apache.dll file in there

                          when i go to restart apache though it tells me it cant load the php4apache file but im sure the directory is right

                          and now i do get the save the file thing again. i just dont get it

                            yah i can find it but now i am going to try and go through the httpd.conf file and remove all of those # signs in front of every line

                              DONT remove # from every line...
                              only before the lines you added

                                well i am just going to try again start all over. how do i delete all the php files and installs on my system
