PHP 4.03, PWS, and Windows Me

[Anon]

I've done it all, I've even used the autoinstaller (EasyWindows Installer) but every time I try to use PHP on my local machine after installing, I get either that nasty Line 0 message, or as of late, a 500 Internal Server Error whenever I try to run a .php4 page. Anyone have any ideas?

If you're not wedded to PWS, check out the free BadBlue server (http://badblue.com) which now supports PHP. It is tiny (the server itself is about 60K) and you can be up and running in (literally) 20 seconds.

Once you're running BadBlue and want to add PHP support, stop the server by pressing the stop button, and edit the "\program files\badblue\pe\ext.ini" file, adding the two lines:

[SERVICES]
extension1=php,c:\where-you-put-php\php.exe

Then press the start button. If you're just looking for a simple way to learn, develop or deploy PHP apps, this is worth checking out.

try http://www.firepages.com.au/phpdev.htm for Apache/PHP4.03/MySQL/phpMyAdmin zipped and preconfigured

Note on ME to extract to C:/phpdev (or c:/phpdev2 depending which one you download)
as for some reason ME unzips everyting straight to c:/ ?

Try phptriad. It comes with apache for win32, php4.0x and extensions. I run this on my ME notebook for demo and development. It works fine. You can find it on phpgeek.com
