apache PHP won't work on XP?

Anon

I have tried everything I can think of to get apache to recognize php scripts under Windows XP. Apache works fine alone and php works fine alone but I can't seem to get them to work together. I've tried every modification I can think of in the httpd.conf file but nothing works. I've gotten it to work on Win98 and Win2000 but nothing seems to work on XP. Anybody know any secrets to get this working.

TIA

i too am running XP and cant get Apache to work with PHP, either the ISAPI or CGI version of it. Im running apache 1.3.x at the moment so i might try the Beta 2 distro of apache later to see if that works

Off Topic (sorry):

How do you implement this kind of threading (discuss an article). It seems easy to do, but I am looking for some existing script to do it.

Thanks

I am running XP with Apache 1.3.12, and I have tried using both the Module and the cgi serverscript.

When I try to have apache load the module, it says \"cannot start apache error 1067\", when I try to load the cgi serverscript..apache works, but when I run my .php page it just tries to download..like its not seeing my x-httpd entries..

any help would be appreciated

thanks

Its probally because you dont load php as a >module.

Copy the file \php\php4ts.dll to >c:\windows\system\

I didnt do that, but after I did I can finally start apache, but now it just tries to download the php file, so now I have another can of worms..

Running As: Service, but i just tried to run it as command line, and it worked also.

I got mine to work. I've been out of town so sorry for the late reply. Basically, what was causing my trouble was that I was creating the .php file in Notepad which made it a text file. This kept the browser from interpreting the file and just displayed it, no matter what was in it. Even changing the name to test.php didn't fix the problem. I had to create the file in Netscape Composer and save it as test.php. Once I did this, everything worked as expected. I can now create the files in Notepad and it works also. I'm not sure why this would be the case. One other main thing I changed was the file association with an application in XP such that all .php files are associated with php.exe instead of what XP had created as a default which was Notepad. As stated earlier, I did not have this problem in Win9x or Win2000. Anyone else having problems of this nature may want to try this to see if it helps.

Also, to answer the questions posed earlier:

Apache is running as a service, version 1.3.20
PHP is running as a module, version 4.1.0

Thanks for the replies! Christmas holidays had me out of town for a while.
