LoadModule Issue - What Am I Doing Wrong?

[webworld]

Hi Freaks -

 

I've been going through the process of installing Apache 2.2 and PHP 5.2.14 on my Windows XP Virtual Box so I can test my PHP scripts locally. I have been following Christopher Heng's guide "http://www.thesitewizard.com/php/install-php-5-apache-windows.shtml" (which is brilliant for me, the lowly beginner) but have run into problems when editing the httpd.conf file with the LoadModule statement he suggests: LoadModule php5_module "c:/php/php5apache2_2.dll"  (Yes, I have installed PHP to c:\php.)

 

This is what my code looks like when I make the change he suggests:

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

 

<IfModule !mpm_netware_module>

<IfModule !mpm_winnt_module>

 

When I put this line in and save the .conf the Apache server will not start and gives me this error "The requested operation has failed!" when I hit the Start button.

 

Can anyone help and suggest where I have gone wrong?

 

Thanks,
