how to install PHP for Apache

[Anon]

Dear helper,

I have installed Apache web server (Window version) and would like to install PHP 4.0 for Apache.

I have download PHP 4.0.3pl1 (CGI binary and ISAPI module included, MySQL support built-in, packaged as zip) and PHP 4.0.3pl1 (CGI only, MySQL support built-in, packaged as Windows installer to install and configure PHP, and automatically configure IIS, PWS and Xitami, with manual configuration for other servers. N.B. no external extensions included)

I have unzipped the first one and execute the second one.

A PHP webpage file (test.php) was put in subdirectory (test) of Apache/htdocs. I type localhost/test/test.php in IE and a blank page was displayed instead of expected message.

Would any helper tell me what should be download and done for installing PHP 4.0 for Apache?

Thank you!
Hin

1. Install apache (I am running 1.3.14)
2. Download PHP 4.03pl1.... extract the contents of the zip file to a location of your choosing... (I used c:\web\php403)
3. Edit httpd.conf for the following:
    ServerName localhost  <== Uncomment this line
    BindAddress * <== Uncomment this line
    LoadModule /web/php403/sapi/php4apache.dll  <== add this line as last in section

    [ Uncomment or add these lines ]
    AddType application/x-httpd-php .phtml .php [add any other extensions you want]
    AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps

4. Make edits to the php.ini file to your liking <= Change "extension_dir" to the location of your PHP distribution's extension directory
5. Copy php4ts.dll and php.ini to any dir in your path => [ c:\winnt or c:\winnt\system32 on NT ]
6. Start your apache server
7. Save the following as test.php
=== BEGIN TEST FILE ===
<?
    phpinfo()
?>
  === END TEST FILE ===

Hi all,
so how is it with this php4apache.dll file.
I think I have the same problem.
Where to get it, I can't build it (no httpd.h).

Thanks for answer.

Hi!
Today I tried to follow your "to do list", but when I try to start Apache I have this error message:

Syntax error on line 205 of c:/internet/apache/conf/httpd.conf:
LoadModule takes two arguments, a module name and the name of a shared object fi
le to load it from
Note the errors or messages above, and press the <ESC> key to exit.

You said (at point 3) to write

LoadModule /Internet/Php/sapi/php4apache.dll

(I have Php on c:/internet/php)

what must I write as first argument?
(I tried whit
LoadModule php_module /Internet/Php/sapi/php4apache.dll

but without success)

Thanks in advance,
Emanuel

In Apache httpd.conf

LoadModule php4_module modules/php4apache.dll

i am now getting the following error now.

Syntax error on line 205 of c:/program files/apache group/apache/conf/httpd.conf
:
Cannot load /web/php403/sapi/php4apache.dll into server: (1157) One of the libra
ry files needed to run this application cannot be found:

What am i supposed to do now?

Try this:

LoadModule php4_module "D:/Programme/php4/extensions/php4apache.dll"

You just have to edit the path where you put your php extension modules - it worked for me, at least... <:⁾

g'd luck

I had the same problem just now and finally figured it out:

php4ts.dll has to be put in your "c:\windows" directory
php4tx.dll has to be put in your apache\lib directory

These files are found in the root c:\php directory.

I guess they figured these two details were too elementary (?) to include in the documentation ; )

Try it out!

cheers,
