PHP4/Apache/MySQL Install on Win98?

Anon

Hi there,

I was able to install Apache and MySQL following the tutorial @
http://www.phpbuilder.com/columns/boutwell19991212.php3

However, I wanted to install php4, please advise.

I also need additional instructions on installing Perl.

Thanks

I got Apache and MySQL working, but not php yet, the phpinfo.php file that I created doesn't produce any output, the web server just says "contacting host, waiting for reply"

Also, is the php_mysql.dll included in the Win32 php install package? Can't find it anywhere in my system. Please advise.

Any help will be appreciated.

Just to update y'all how I solved my situation, thanks to the posts here and to Julie Meloni of thickbook.com who advised me to

move the phpinfo.php file to my php install dir
run from the command line "C:/php.exe phpinfo.php
Which spewed out "error in browscap.ini line# 8121"

So I commented out those lines referring to Linux OS/browsers

I pointed my browser to my local install http://localhost/phpinfo.php -

VOILA! PHP installed baby!

I also followed others experiences poisted in this board about commenting our php_mysql.dll - did that too!

Now that I have a working install of PHP/Apache/MySQL - I can go ahead and sleep, nah... learn code! :-)

Still need help on Perl install/set-up on Win98 though.

You could download the newest Perl install package from http://www.activestate.com/Products/ActivePerl/Download.html.After installed it,open httpd.conf which locating in your Apache conf directory and add the following lines:
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ "C:/Program Files/Apache Group/Apache/cgi-bin/"
AddHandler cgi-script .pl
then save it.Now you can write your own Perl CGI scripts,put them to Apache cgi-bin directory,and run Apache to test them.
