Now that the server is running, I don't know what's happening with PHP. The .php file saves alright, although windows doesen't recognize it. Once I go to open the file by typing "http://127.0.0.1/test.php" into my browser's address bar it says the file could not be found. The first time around it gave me an apache error mentioning that it was a bad request. Yet after some configuration of the "httpd.conf" file it now only appears as a "page can not be displayed" site.
Here is what I configured when it changed from an apache error to the "Page cannot be displayed":
#</VirtualHost>
ScriptAlias /php/ "c:/php/"
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .phtml
Action application/x-httpd-php "c:/php/php.exe"
This is located at the very bottom of my "httpd.conf" file. I also configured my "php.ini" file only erasing a semicolon before one of the "Dynamic Extensions". It was the extension for "php_gd2.dll", my tutorial tells me that this will enable an extension, and by the looks of it this seems to enable the ".php" extension.
I may be wrong, yet I am deeply frustrated in this program's inability to work for my operating system. There is however something I did notice, the httpd.conf file does not have a mentioning of the "php.ini" file. Could this be my problem? Do I need to have a script in my "httpd.conf" file telling apache where to look for my "php.ini" file?
Once again, forgive me for my in-experience.
