PHP installation with Apache on NT

Anon

I've downloaded and installed Apache (apache_1_3_14_win32_r2.exe) on Windows NT
The server is running and is ok
I've then downloaded the last release of php: php-4_0_4pl1-Win32

I installed it on c:\php4
I've made a copy of php.ini on C:\Winnt.
I've moved php4ts.dll to C:\Winnt\System32
I've then added the following lines to the http.conf file (some were already in comments):

ScriptAlias /php4/ "C:/php4/"
AddType application/x-httpd-php4 .php
Action application/x-httpd-php4 "/php4/php.exe"

But it doesn't work:
- on Netscape 4.7, when I write the address of the simple php file I've created, it just shows me the code:
<head><title>PHP Test</head></title>
<body>
<?php echo "Hello World<P>"; ?>
</body>
- on IE, it asks me to download the file

I had a look to the FAQs 6.8 on php.net and my problem seems to mean that PHP is not invoked but the lines I've added are right!
Any help would be greatly appreciated as I am blocked in my work

Just solved the same problem. Add the following line to conf/httpd.conf:
AddType application/x-httpd-php .html
It tells Apache to parse .html through the php-modul. (I think so)

Failing that download PHPTriad, from www.phpgeek.com. It gives you one setup program that installs apache, mysql and php.

I just installed it an hour ago, and I'm very impressed.

Thanks for the 2 responses I received.
After my lunch break, I just desinstalled php, and start the procedure from the very beginning and it's now working. Perhaps was I missing a "4" somewhere (php<->php4) :-)
i already start making my first php pages.
Anyway i think that next time i will follow your advice Nick and use PHPTriad

have a nice day all
