[Resolved] Problems getting PHP to work

[spstieng]

I've done it several times before, but now it will_not_work!!!
I'm trying to get PHP5 to work with Apache 2.

I have Win XP Pro, Service pack 1

I've followed the instructions here:
http://install.windows.manual.php

Install dirs:
Apache: C:/Apache2
PHP : C:/PHP

In my httpd.conf file, I've added:

ScriptAlias /php/" c:/PHP/"
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
Action application/x-httpd-php "c:/php/php-win.exe"

This should now actually WORK! :glare:

I have created a file called phpinfo.php and put it in the htdocs folder. The file only has:
<?php
phpinfo();
?>

When I try to execute this: http://localhost/phpinfo.php
I get the follwing error msg:
Bad Request
Your browser sent a request that this server could not understand.

Yes, I've set access rights.

Any good advice anyone?

Hi,

according to the manual it should be php-cgi.exe and not php-win.exe

Argh!
Thanks mate. I'll try that next time I try. For now I've got everything up and running with old versions :mad:

Have a look at http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp.html

This is a very interesting "all inclusive" WAMP(S) package that comes with all you need. Installation is straightforward and you can switch between PHP4 and PHP5 with just one click. I tested it with WIN98/ME/2K/XP and had no problems so far.
