Let ask a question does the PHP installer create this directory for you guys? c:/network/php/sapi/php4apache2.dll This isnt even created with the msi. installer. But there is a zip file:

PHP 4.2.3 zip package [5,417Kb] - 6 September 2002
(CGI binary plus server API versions for Apache, Apache2 (experimental), ISAPI, NSAPI, Servlet and Pi3Web. MySQL support built-in, many extensions included, packaged as zip)

And this one has the directory and module when extracted but there is no .msi file for installation so im assuming that it must be placed and configured manually. And i know i dont have a problem between the monitor and my seat. :) But once i solve this and I will solve it, ill post back. Morey I am using XP Pro with SP1 and i was hoping it wasnt something wrong with SP1, but i wouldnt think so.

Humm, Apache 1.3 doesnt work either. :(
PHP is pissing me off. Back to the drawing board.

Well worst case sinario I use IIS. I know Ive had this working in the past with that server.

Mark,

In researching this problem I ran across a post that suggested to register the .reg files that come with the PHP .zip. So I even did this but I still keep getting the can not find file error.

I hope that you can make some head way.

Morey

well i have made no progress whatsoever with the installation of php...

It still says its not installed when i call install.php :(

Do you have any ideas Teck? or any way that you could help us?

- miSt

- PHP v4.2.3 .zip binary - 4.4MB (for more info, visit www.php.net)
- Apache Server .msi binary - 3.2MB (for more info, visit www.apache.org)
- MySQL 4.0.3 Beta .zip binary - 19.2MB (for more info, visit www.mysql.com)

mor up to date download links :glasses:

Well i had plenty of quit time in my hotel room lastnight and i set down and read Teck's post word for word 3 times to make sure i havent over looked anything.

I am curious Teck's what you meant by this:

NOTE: Replace the php4apache2.dll library (in 'Php/sapi' folder) ONLY if you cannot restart your Apache server. The PHP devs will probably replace it in the zip file soon.


Now i reinstalled PHP as described but i then installed apache 1.3 again, but when i edited the config file for apache i did everything the same but this line:

LoadModule php4_module c:/network/php/sapi/php4apache2.dll

I changed to this:

LoadModule php4_module c:/network/php/sapi/php4apache.dll

And now apache restarts fine but still getting prompted to download the php info file that i have put in my htdocs. Im at a ends here and IIS is calling my name. :(


Mark

Haha :D You just made me think about why apache wouldn't restart for me ;)

Change the line to:

That should do the trick :D

Oh, I have tried that method like a hundred times, the only way I can even get apache to start after I install PHP is to change to that module to (php4apache.dll) .

I'm doing all the steps right and there must be something like a service or something running that shouldnt be. Now im grasping for straws when i say that.

Thats what I changed and it worked for me, you do have apache 2 installed? and have the DLL in the location you have put in httpd.conf

Also do you have IIS disabled if its installed?

No i havent installed IIS yet, YET. :)

I tried apache 2 installed but it just wouldnt restart when i config it to point to the php4apache2.dll and i know my directory is correct that is what is strange about the whole thing, its like that dll is screwed up and wont work with apache2.
