apache,php and XP

Anon

I have installed apache and php on my windows xp machine. Everything seems to work ok until I try displaying the test page (test.php) which I have written. All that is displayed in the browser is what is in file. Does anyone have an idea where I have gone wrong in the configuration.

Thank you

Anon

basic config...

put php.ini in
c:\WINNT\php.ini

in httpd.conf... find and get these lines along the lines of these...

ServerName localhost

//needs to be a valid directory//
DocumentRoot "C:/somepath/htdocs"

//must be the right path to apache//
ServerRoot c:/path/to/apache.exe

//the php stuff//
//check path to /php/sapi is correct//

LoadModule php4_module c:/path_to/php/sapi/php4apache.dll
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php4 .php .htm .php3
AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps

thats it... just make sure that
/php/sapi contains ...
php4apache.dll
php4ts.dll
php4ts.lib

you can also copy these to system32 but apache+php will work nicely if they live in c:/path_to/php/sapi/

there is more tweaking that can be done but that should give you php as an apache module at least running.

As soon as I put the line:
LoadModule php4_module:/php/sapi/php4apache.dll

into the httpd file I get the error message:
[Thu Apr 04 11:59:41 2002] [error] Cannot remove module mod_php4.c: not found in module list.

Any ideas as I am going insane trying to get this to work!!!

Thank you

If you load an external module (i.e. not one that comes with Apache) it requires an absolute path

e.g. LoadModule php4_module "C:/program files/php4/sapi/php4apache.dll"
