[strawbilly84]

I hav been trying to configure apache with php5.  When I go to view a php page it asks me where I want to dwnload the page to and what program t open it with.  PLEEESSSSSEEE help here is my httpd file.  I think this is where the problem lies.


Thanks

Bill

That is fine. However this is wrong:
[tt]Addtype PHPIniDir "C:/Program Files/php/"[/tt]

It should just be:
[tt]PHPIniDir "C:/php"[/tt]

Place the php.ini in the C:/php where you have PHP installed or in the WINDOWS folder.

I added the changes you suggested but still when i go to a php page it won't open the browser wants to download it?

I forgot to mention this earlier - make sure you are restarting Apache when you make the changes. If you dont restart Apache the changes will not take affect until you do.

I have php installed in program files should it be directly in the c: directory?

You dont need it in program files. I prefer to install everything in the root of the hard drive in a folder called server. SO my server directory will be like this:
C:/server
+-- Apache2
+-- PHP
+-- MySQL

I assumed you had PHP installed in C:/PHP looking at this line
[tt]#LoadModule php5_module C:/php/php5apache2.dll[/tt]

Umm, hangon youb have that commented out. You need to uncomment that line and change it to this@
[tt]LoadModule php5_module C:/Program Files/php/php5apache2.dll[/tt]

Thanks alot for your help.  I uninstalled and reinstalled everything in the c:/ directory everything is working fine now.  Again thanks abunch.
