Any ideas?? Installation on PHP

[icornejo]

Ok so I got Apache and MySQL on Windows XP

Now the last step is to install PHP:

I made a C:\php directory

in there i grabbed php.ini and put it on my C:\WINDOWS\

Also I put php5ts.dll in the WINDOWS\SYSTEM\ folder

ok so far so good

Now I went to the Apache httpd.conf file,

There I added

LoadModule php5_module c:/php// php5apache2.dll

at the end of the list that starts like this:

Example:

LoadModule foo_module modules/mod_foo.so

#
LoadModule access_module modules/mod_access.so
LoadModule actions_module modules/mod_actions.so
LoadModule alias_module modules/mod_alias.so
LoadModule asis_module modules/mod_asis.so
LoadModule auth_module modules/mod_auth.so
#LoadModule auth_anon_module modules/mod_auth_anon.so
#LoadModule auth_dbm_module modules/mod_auth_dbm.so
#LoadModule auth_digest_module modules/mod_auth_digest.so
....and so on until the last one was:
#LoadModule php5_module c:/php// php5apache2.dll

Lastly I put:

AddType application/x-httpd-php .phtml .php in the:

#

AddType allows you to add to or override the MIME configuration

file mime.types for specific file types.

#
#AddType application/x-tar .tgz
#AddType application/x-httpd-php .phtml .php
#

AddEncoding allows you to have certain browsers (Mosaic/X 2.1+) uncompress

information on the fly. Note: Not all browsers support this.

So now to test it:

Went to my txt editor, added <? phpinfo (); ?> and saved it as phpinfo.php and saved it on the Apache's htdocs file.

I reset the Apache

Now I opened:

http://127.0.0.1/ and is good working APACHE

then:

http://127.0.0.1/phpinfo.php I get a Open/Save File...?????

WHAT's this?!?! If I hit Open it opens DREAMWEAVER and I can see the text/php I made but that's it. Every php opens in dreaweaver and I then changed the php to open in IE but nothing happens. What am I doing wrong????

[MarkR]

Have you tried:

<?php phpinfo(); ?>

Instead?

Short open tags are pretty much deprecated (because they interfere with HTML / XML processing instructions etc).

Have you restarted Apache and are sure it works ok?

Are you sure you're not running some other web server which is serving the file instead?

I did <?php phpinfo(); ?> , went to Apache and hit restart, then went to http://127.0.0.1/phpinfo.php and got the same (Dreamweaver Open/Save crap), it opens DW but nothing, if I go to the text viewer I see the <?php phpinfo(); ?> I wrote but that's it. Am I doing it right??

Could it be that i have the wrong server info (I got my email and the 127 ip.:

#

ServerAdmin: Your address, where problems with the server should be

e-mailed. This address appears on some server-generated pages, such

as error documents. e.g. [e-mail]

#
ServerAdmin [e-mail]

#

ServerName gives the name and port that the server uses to identify itself.

This can often be determined automatically, but we recommend you specify

it explicitly to prevent problems during startup.

#

If this is not set to valid DNS name for your host, server-generated

redirections will not work. See also the UseCanonicalName directive.

#

If your host doesn't have a registered DNS name, enter its IP address here.

You will have to access it by its address anyway, and this will make

redirections work in a sensible way.

#
ServerName 127.0.0.1:80

#

And why is it opening in Dreamweaver? Even if I change it to IE it won't do nothing.....at least in DW it opens the text editor with the php script but I can't see anything else.

[Houdini]

The reason it opens in DW is because DW thinks you are trying to edit a php file which is one of the extensions that DW works with, and also because you do not have the httpd.conf file properly set up. Apache does not know where your php.exe or your php.ini file is.

[icornejo]

And how can I fix this issue??

[Houdini]

I would use the PHP manual to guide you through the process of a manual install since that seems to be what you are trying to do by going here to this link and it should show all that is necessary for a manual install on your Apache.
