Hey guys!

I was just starting to install my PHP and Apache, and I ran into a problem.

This is the site I was using.

It says to place the line "LoadModule php4_module php/sapi/php4apache2.dll" where all of the other LoadModules are, but whenever I go to restart Apache it says that it can't find the file. Anybody help?

download xampp it is extremely easy to setup and is hard to run into problems. http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp.html i personally run my home web server off xampp.

Same effect as Apache, it will still run PHP just the same?

[jcortes]

yes xampp comes with apache, php, mysql, phpmyadmin, and FTP

Wow I can't beleive that it can install all that for you! Gotta love the internet.


This installs as a program, and it doesn't seem to work anyways.

Does anybody else know how to program Apache and PHP to work.

[jcortes]

of course its a program it installs all the servers and stuff then you go to http://localhost in your browser and config it also edit the httpd.conf and php.ini you your not gonna get any simpler than xampp. if you cant set that up then you will not be able to set up a server by itself. INSALL XAMPP dont be lazy read some tutorials you will find it much simpler than setting up the plain servers individually .

Hah alright alright. So for te .ini, I just move it to an PHP folder and then target that in my .conf for my Apache to find where it is?

[jcortes]

xampp will set it all up you just need to go in and edit your settings in the httpd.conf and php.ini to the way you like it the only thing you would need to mess with in the php.ini really is the email function until you get more advanced you wont be editing that to much. the httpd though is where you will need to put the path for your files and stuff.

Hm alright I think I get what you're saying. I'll give it a shot. This will run just like PHP right?

[jcortes]

it is php it installs a bundle. apache, php, mysql, phpmyadmin, and FTP
