Did you read 3-4posts above?

I still havent been able to fix it, but it doesnt matter since I use phpmyadmin or the MySQL Control Panel alpha program to do stuff in.

But Im still not getting any help regarding the endless refreshing of the General Options page in Admin CP, not even on vbulletin.com's troubleshooting area.

Contact vBulletin Team for this. Is nothing related to your server.
Open a support ticket, don't just post onto the forums.

I sent in a TT a few days ago, and they said just to downgraded to Apache 1.3x. They did suggest I not use the latest mySQL beta, but since I've had no problems with it I kept it.

Downgrading to 1.3x wasnt as hard as I thought. A tad different here and there, but I get no problems at all with vB that I described above, so all I can say is that installing Apache 1.3 is much less of a headache than making 2.x and PHP 4 (Im using 4.2.3 btw) work nicely together.

Same problem here. Been at it for 5 hours a day for the last 3 days. No problem here between the screen and the seat.

If you follow the instructions that where provided in this thread it will not work.

Have the same problem with Apache not restarting.

Time to remove this thread and start over.
The information I'm sure was put here with good intention, no doubt about that but the fact remains is it is WRONG as it does not work with php4apache2.dll

15 pages of replies and still now solution.

Remove the thread and start over agian.

Anyone else want to give it a kick and post some real solution to this problem please do.

This thread is 5 month old and I'm sure countless others have tried it with the same results. No fix in 5 months .. remove the thread it does not help anyone.

Well I think this thread does help, I think the only real issue is the problem with php4apache2.dll which isnt Teck's fault, though with so many having either no luck with it, or it works fine, I just went with Apache 1.3 and all works well and dandy for me so thats all I can suggest.

Please... act mature, not like a 10years old person. You don't even bother to read the first post. The fix is there.

I have a problem when doing this..when I open php files, it tries to save/download them, not open the file..what's wrong?

Did you install PHP?

yep
