yukonmuffin

ok, php isn't working, what did i miss?
-I downloaded php-5.2.3-win32-installer
-I ran the installer
-I told it I'm running an apeach 2.0 web server
-I told it were the config file was
-I wrote a basic php script witch i'm shure works (<html>
<head>

</head>
<body>
<?php
echo "hello"

?>
</body>
</html>)
when I try out the page, all I see is the coding in text, not "hello"

my system:
windows xp home
fire fox

check out the site: http://207.189.224.42/java_2.php

In your httpd.conf file, do you see the lines:

LoadModule php5_module "C:\php\php5apache2.dll"
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .php3 .php4 .php5 .phtml
PHPIniDir "C:\php\php.ini"

If not, then your Apache is set up wrong. If you do, did you restart apache since you installed php?

yukonmuffin

if apeach is set up wrong, is there something i can do? were is the setup thing?

edit:
I re-installed everything (apeach, php) and it still doesn't work. the modul load thing you were talking about isn't there, that is, assuming its supposed to be located near the others that say loadmodule something or other. its a big file and things are hard to find.
i tried just copy and pasting it in there but that screwed over apeach.

error messege:
cannot load C:\php\php5apache2.dll into server: the specific module could not be found.

Are you using Apache 2.0.x or 2.2.x? I know what you said earlier in the thread, but the 2.2 dll is different from the 2.0 dll. I had this issue as well.

Here's the basic steps you want to take to get Apache 2.0 (or 2.2) working with php 5 and MySQL 5:

Download and Install MySQL 5 [here]
Download Apache
- 2.2.4 [here]
- 2.0.59 [here]

Install Apache
[indent]You can use the default install items. Use localhost as the domain and fill in an email address for the server admin value.

[color=red][b]*** VISTA NOTE ***[/b][/color] In order to install on Windows Vista, you'll need administrative privileges.  You might want to disable User Account Control (UAC) while installing Apache too.[/indent]

Change "Apache Monitor" Compatibility
[indent]Browse to the Apache install folder ("C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Apache2.x.x") and enter the "bin" folder. Right click on the "ApacheMonitor.exe" file and select "Properties". Click on the "Compatibility" tab in the properties window. Check "Run this program in compatibility mode for:" and select "Windows XP SP2".[/indent]
Download PHP 5 [here]
Unzip the file to "C:\php"
Enter "C:\php" and copy php.ini-recommended and paste it in C:\php. Rename the copied file to "php.ini"
Modify php.ini to suit your needs for error levels, uploads and all those items. See the documentation for more help.
Modify Apache Configuration
- Change the DocumentRoot setting and the first <Directory> item you find.
- Modify the log levels to be as you wish.
- Look through the LoadModule directives to see if there are any that you want added (typically mod_rewrite is a good addition)
- Read through the rest to see if you need to change anything
- Add PHP Support to Apache
  - Apache 2.2.x
    [indent]At the bottom of the file, add this line: LoadModule php5_module "C:\php\php5apache2_2.dll"[/indent]
  - Apache 2.0.x
    [indent]At the bottom of the file, add this line: LoadModule php5_module "C:\php\php5apache2.dll"[/indent]
  - After the "LoadModule" line, add the following lines:
    [indent]AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .php3 .php5 .phtml
    AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps
    PHPIniDir "C:\php\php.ini"[/indent]
Add path to PHP to your PATH environment variable
1. Right Click on "My Computer"
2. Select "Properties"
3. Select the "Advanced" tab (Vista users, click the link that says "Advanced System Settings"
4. Click the button that says "Environment Variables"
5. In the bottom section (labeled "System Variables"), edit the "PATH" entry and add this:
  [indent];C:\php[/indent]
6. Click okay to get out of those windows.
Restart Windows

I've also outlined the steps in a sticky at the top of this forum for install php5 and php4 concurrently on Apache 2.x. That has images that might help you. You can read either one, the only difference is that you can ignore the php4 items in the stickied topic.
