corbin Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 Hrmmm I doubt there is a tutorial then.... It's pretty easy to install Apache/PHP/MySQL on Windows. I would just install Apache using the .exe (or maybe .msi) installer available for download from http://httpd.apache.org/, then I would download and install MySQL (using the .exe installer). Then, I would download the .zip PHP package, and I would add it to Apache as a module. You might want to change DirectoryIndex in httpd.conf to have index.php too. As for what would be needed in httpd.conf for PHP to be loaded, you could use something like: PHPIniDir "/path/to/php/folder/" LoadModule php5_module "/path/to/php/folder/php5apache2_2.dll" AddType application/x-httpd-php .php Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/147424-anyone-know-a-good-tutorial-to-install-apache22-php5-mysql/#findComment-773817 Share on other sites More sharing options...

wildteen88 Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 yup the tutorial i found says to do just that.......problem is i cant find anything to do with php5apache.dll or any .dll files in the php zip If you cannot find the php5apache.dll or php5apache2.dll or php5apache2_2.dll then ensure you have downloaded the correct php package from php.net. Should be the one titled as PHP 5.2.9 zip package [10,266Kb] - 26 February 2009. Just extract the contents of the zip to C:/php and configure Apache as corbin described in his post above. Note When it comes to adding this line: LoadModule php5_module "/path/to/php/folder/php5apache2_2.dll" Ensure you use the correct .dll. PHP comes with three .dlls for apache here is what they are used for php5apache.dll is for Apache 1.3.x only php5apache2.dll is for Apache2.0.x only php5apache2_2.dll is for Apache2.2.x only You should also rename php.ini-recommended to php.ini within your php installation folder. It is also a good idea add PHP to the Path Environment Variable.

wildteen88 Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 The forbidden error is not IIS its from Apache. When you set the DocumentRoot to C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\ did update the <Directory C:/your/old/path></Directory> section as well (located a few lines down from where you set DocumentRoot)? Post your httpd.conf file here if you're not sure Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/147424-anyone-know-a-good-tutorial-to-install-apache22-php5-mysql/#findComment-773910 Share on other sites More sharing options...

wildteen88 Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 Yes you should be able to go to http://localhost/ or http://your-ipaddres/ However you may need to configure your router to forward port 80 to your computers LAN address and setup your firewall to allow external connections to port 80.

jeger003 Posted March 1, 2009 Author Share Posted March 1, 2009 you were right........i did just that....i was able to open up a port specifically to the server and it works great.....but wouldnt this be extremely risky??? isnt it a security risk to have it open? how can i protect myself from hackers?? thanks again......if you werent for you guys i would be running around the net tryna find a tut on this!

wildteen88 Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 You only need to enable forward port 80 if you are wanting to serve your website from your computer. However if all you're using it as a local test/developement machine then you dont need to forward port 80. Just use http://localhost/ instead.

jeger003 Posted March 1, 2009 Author Share Posted March 1, 2009 yea i want to serve the website......make it live so i can then get a domain for it and it would be reached by other ppl. not sure if this makes sense.....but what if i installed an internet security software like kaspersky? would that help protect it?

Cander Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 Hello there, I have been having problem installing PHP with Apache on Windows. When I try to open a .php file in my browser in the "htdocs" folder by typing http://localhost/filename.php, insted of let me view the .php file content it shut the browser window down and start a download of the file. I'm running a Vista 32-bit What I've done: - Downloaded apache 2.2.11 and sucessfully installed. I can open the index.html in "htdocs" folder by typing http://localhost in my browser. - Downloaded the PHP 5.9.2-1 zip-file and extracted to C:\php, set the enviroment path and got it all set up sucessfully. Also renamed the "php.ini-recommended" to "php.ini". - Added these lines into the "httpd.conf" file: LoadModule php5_module "C:/php/php5apache2_2.dll" PHPIniDir "C:/php" AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .phtml .html And I'm sure that the "C:/php/php5apache2_2.dll" and the "C:/php" exist. - Restarted apache server & computer. Any thoughts of what have I missed? Thanks in advance! //Cander Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/147424-anyone-know-a-good-tutorial-to-install-apache22-php5-mysql/#findComment-784843 Share on other sites More sharing options...
wildteen88 Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 Umm. Not sure whats up the only thing I can suggest is to check Apaches error log (located in the /logs folder). That configuration you posted is correct and should work fine.

Cander Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 I did exactly the same installation on a other computer(XP), and it worked with no problem. Oh yeah, I shall look at the error_log file and see if I can find anything. Thanks.

wildteen88 Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 In that case it appears Apache is not reading the httpd.conf file you're editing. Which httpd.conf file are you editing? It should be the one located in the /conf folder.

wildteen88 Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 Ok. Open your php.ini and find the following section display_errors = Off ; Even when display_errors is on, errors that occur during PHP's startup ; sequence are not displayed. It's strongly recommended to keep ; display_startup_errors off, except for when debugging. display_startup_errors = Off Change Off to On for display_errors and display_startup_errors. Save the php.ini. Now restart Apache. If PHP is having trouble starting up with Apache then errors should display on screen. EDIT: This may not need to be done, but you it may apply When running Apache on Vista ensure you're running ApacheMonitor.exe with Administrator Privileges. To do this right the click Apache Monitor icon in the task bar and choose exit. Now go to Start > All Programs > Startup Right click on the Apache Monitor shortcut. Select the Compatibility tab and tick the Run as Administrator checkbox. Click OK to close all open windows. Now run Apache Monitor again. Confirm the UAC prompts and you should be able to restart Apache via Apache Monitor.

Cander Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 No response at all changing the PHP.ini file. In fact while watching the error log file to Apache there isn't anything written about PHP at all! Administrator did take away some UAC while stopping the server, but nothing more. What I think is that Apache don't find PHP at all, obviously. Changed .ini file, set path to C:\php, correct changes in httpd.conf...
