Php/win98/Apache DING

Anon

Whenever I run my test.php, my apache dos window's caption turns to php and I get the alert sound, but my script output does not appear! I even tried PHP EasyWindows Installer! Any ideas as to what I am doing wrong?

Thanks...

I followed these instructions and all is good:

Apache:
1. Stop the Apache Webserver.
Edit the httpd.conf and put in these lines, modified to your environment:
2. Unzip the Package to c:\php, now move php4ts.dll to the windows/system directory, overwritte any older file!

for the apache module

LoadModule php4_module c:/php/sapi/php4apache.dll
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php4

#for the cgi binary (you can use that one compiled with force cgi redirect too)
ScriptAlias /php4/ "C:/php/"
Action application/x-httpd-php4 "/php4/php.exe"
AddType application/x-httpd-php4 .php

Copy the php.ini-dist to your sysroot, this is the directory where you installed windows and rename it to php.ini.
Edit the php.ini to fit your needs.

I found the problem. It resided in my browscap.ini.

To trouble shoot the error, I went ahead and tried to let php.exe parse a command straight from a dos prompt "php <? print "wassup"; ?>.

Apparently, apache will not allow php to display any error messages or logs because I got one here. I recieved a message box stating that "there was an error at line xxx in browscap.ini". I forget which browser conifg it was, but it was on linux. I edited it out, restarted apache and walla!

also, I moved my php dir into the apache tree structure and edited the ini files appropriatly. This may have helped also.

Hope this helps first timers...
