in your httpd.conf, what is the listing for php4apache.dll?

what i have done is copy the dll file into the module directory in apache and set it up like the other ones. this will only apply if you are using the module install instead of cgi install.

    Hi,

    did you copy php4ts.dll (or php5ts.dll) and the other dlls (depending on the extensions you want to use) to the system32 directory ?

    Besides that check out www.xampp.org/en

      i installed php according to the install instructions bundled with PHP as i always have which worked before i reformated but doesnt now.

        Ok,

        which are the installation directories of Apache and PHP ? Did you download and install the installer version of PHP or the ZIP package ?

        Thomas

          treid them both.

          my directories are the same as they were before i reformated when i didnt have issues upgrading.

          C:\phpdev\apache and php respectively

            Ok,

            which were the installation steps (step by step) ?

            What about trying out xampp ? That package comes with apache 2, MySQL, PHP 4.3.10, PHP 5.0.3, MySQL and much more. That package doesn't need to have anything in the system32 or windows directory. A nice feature is that you can switch between PHP 4 and PHP 5 with just one click (each of the two having a custom php.ini).

            If you don't want to use xampp then I'd suggest to clean up the system and to start from the beginning again. Especially clean up the system32 directory.

            Thomas

              i installed xampp checking it out. although my concern is the php and mysql version it uses. 4.1.7 for mysql and php 5.0.2, those versions especially the mysql have trouble with snitz and phpBB.you know if this was addressed in xampp? (to use phpBB with those versions you had to reset mysql to the original password that is blank)

              this mail server is amystery to..

                i cant seem to "edit" the above...

                i like xampp thanks for recomending it.. now a serious question

                how to get it to use the sendmail function?

                i get this with every script that uses it (and most cant be changed to external SMTP)

                Warning: mail() [function.mail]: SMTP server response: 550 5.7.1 Unable to relay for *******@*****.com in C:\apachefriends\xampp\htdocs\test4\includes\user_confirmation.inc.php on line 64

                  Do you use Mercury/32 ?

                  If yes, then open Configuration->MercuryS SMTP server and switch to the "Connection Control" tab. Add the 127.0.0.1 address and enable the checkbox "Connections from this address range may relay mail through this server". You may need to do the same for the real (private) ip address of the server.

                  Make sure that the SMTP server is set to localhost in php.ini

                      Ok,

                      does the PC/server with the temporary resolution errors have internet access ?

                      Check if the resolver works by opening a command prompt. Then execute the command nslookup and try to get the mx records of that domains, something like:

                      C:\>nslookup
set type=mx
comcast.net

                      Does that work (return any useful data) ?

                        Hello, tsinka

                        I got the same problem and have the below message according to you instructions at the prompt windows :

                        Default Server: kns.kornet.net
                        Address: 168.126.63.1

                        set type=mx
                        comcast.net
                        Server: kns.kornet.net
                        Address: 168.126.63.1

                        Non-authoritative answer:
                        comcast.net MX preference = 5, mail exchanger = gateway-s.comcast.net
                        comcast.net MX preference = 5, mail exchanger = gateway-r.comcast.net

                        comcast.net nameserver = dns01.jdc01.pa.comcast.net
                        comcast.net nameserver = dns02.jdc01.pa.comcast.net
                        gateway-s.comcast.net internet address = 204.127.202.26
                        gateway-s.comcast.net internet address = 63.240.76.26
                        gateway-r.comcast.net internet address = 216.148.227.126
                        gateway-r.comcast.net internet address = 204.127.198.26
                        dns01.jdc01.pa.comcast.net internet address = 68.87.96.3
                        dns02.jdc01.pa.comcast.net internet address = 68.87.96.4

                        In my case, local mails are delivered internally only and mailform accepts recipients for registered users only
                        (mails to external recipients are not sent and not accepted for recipients at mailform)

                        I have the below questions;
                        Core Module Config/General/
                        internet name for this system ==> localhost or www.myurl.com?

                        Thank you very much in advance and I am looking forward to your reply.
