NicholasB Posted November 15, 2010 Share Posted November 15, 2010 I'm a newbie with PHP/Apache/MySQL but have succesfully installed it on 3 different Win XP systems (2 XP Pro, 1 XP Home), and have a few weeks experience getting simple examples to work. However, when I tried exactly the same installation on a Windows 7 PC, Apache just will not load PHP The Apache Monitor exe doesn't show it as running and php files do nothing I have altered php.ini as before, and httpd.conf (to see php folder & dll's and to use index.php as a default - same as I did on XP machines) I'm using Apache 2.2.17 (Win32) and PHP 5 (download = php-5.3.3-Win32-VC6-x86.zip) I've extracted to C:\PHP and modified INI file same as for the XP machines (following instructions from a book) Browsing to localhost shows the apache 'It Works' page but php will not work Just writing this I notice the PHP ZIP says 32bit and my Win 7 is 64 bit, but surely backward compatibility ??? Help appreciated ... TIA .... :'( Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/218767-php-not-working-with-apache-on-windows-7/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
NicholasB Posted November 15, 2010 Author Share Posted November 15, 2010 Ok rectified. I read a post further down. Solution is to use a folder such as C:\WebServer not the Apache default of program files x86 Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/218767-php-not-working-with-apache-on-windows-7/#findComment-1134661 Share on other sites More sharing options...
