[SOLVED] httpd.conf problems..PLEASE HELP ME

[s_ff_da_b_ff]

 

Hi Im a PHP newbie and Im sitting here trying to get Apache to recognize PHP but when I try to update my httpd.conf folder It wont let me save. Im trying to add these lines in:

 

LoadModule php5_module "c:/PHP/php5apache2_2.dll"

AddHandler application/x-httpd-php .php

# configure the path to php.ini

PHPIniDir "c:/Windows"

 

SO that Apache will recognize PHP. However everytime I put that in and then go to save I get the error:

 

"Cannot create the C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Apache2.2\conf\httpd.conf file

 

Make sure the path and file name are correct"

 

Then I make sure that it is right and I click save again and it asks me if I want to replace the httpd.conf file that already exists and I say YES and then it just shows me that error again.

 

If you can help me it would be much appreciated im getting very frustrated Ive been trying to figure it out for a long time now

 

THANKS

Make sure that the httpd.conf isn't read-only, as that could cause an error.  I'm not sure if it's read-only by default on a Windows install, because I don't use Windows. =)

Well, it was inface marked as "read only" but even after I unchecked that Im still getting the same error. Any other thoughts?

Interesting error. What version of Windows are you running? Try stopping Apache first then applying the modifications.

It was a security setting. I fixed it. Thanks for the help on this one though
