Installind php 4 with apache

[craigtb]

i was trying to install php 4 and apache2 and i got them installed and i need to insert some lines in the httpd.conf file but i cant find that file in the apache folder. i can find httpd text files and other things but no .conf files. when i do find it where do i put these lines?

[craigtb]

I think i got that figured out but i cant find a php4apach2.dll file where is it or can some1 send me one?

[craigtb]

Ok i got all the files but the server still wont connect with the added line

Loadmodule php4_module C:/php/php4apache2.dll

can anyone tell me why it wont work?

if you are using PHP4 then you need to do this to the loadmodule line:

LoadModule php4_module C:/php/sapi/php4apache2.dll

As the php4apache2.dll file should be located in the sapi folder. Also note Loadmodule should have been LoadModule, you had lowercase M and not uppercase M.

I made it upper case and it still didnt work. The way I installed PHP was froma zip file where you have to place files where they need to be becuase the exe file for some reason wouldnt give me a sapi folder and the php4apache2.dll file. I may of not done it right. I put the php.ini file in the WINDOWS folder and some other file (i think it was a .dll file) in the WINDOWS/SYSTEM folder. and the rest of the files in in the hard drive root folder. Should i do anythign else?

All you need to do with the zip file is extract all contents to C:\php\ then just copy the php.ini file to C:\WINDOWS\ and that is it! No need ot copy extra .dll's.

 

NOTE: the php.ini file will be called php.ini-recommended when extract the contents form the zip file, rename it to just php.ini

 

Also the exe isn't intended to be used fr installing PHP with Apache, the zip file is much more better.

 

Go here for a good step by step tutotial on installing Apache and PHP. The site includes installation of MySQL and phpMyAdmin too.

I have done all that and it still wont work. Do i need to place the code in any specific place?
