Stopped just short of pulling my hair.
Apache installed in: d:\Program Files\Apachehs\Apache
php installed in: d:\sdk\php
-- httpd.conf instructions : --
ScriptAlias /php/ "d:/sdk/php/"
Alias /phpf/ "d:/sdk/phpfiles/"
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
AddType application/x-httpd-php .phtml
Action application/x-httpd-php "/php/php.exe"
-The Alias was ScriptAlias in the above-mentioned problem. That was the problem, thats where I put my php scripts (so I guess anywhere I put my scripts I will have to put an alias to it. and I can put it anywhere NOW!! whoppeee! and can install the php dir anywhere. using CGI again.)
-anyways... I dont think AddType ... .phtml line is not needed.
