php5, apache2 and windows xp...

[Odoggy5]

has anybody got this configuration to work? some of the stuff i have read said to add the following line the apache configuration file:

LoadModule php5_module c:/php/php5apache2.dll

but when i loaded php, that file does not even exist.

im gonna look around some more, but i just though i'd post and see if anybody has done this before.

thanks,

O

It works flawless.
Just find where you've put the php5apache2.dll first.
Else get the ZIP package of PHP and then find it again.

If you find it then: read the docs completely

you're right it does...

strange that the file does not come with the installer, only the zip package.

hey Odog, .. good to see you around. this is good to know too. i need to get a php5 dev environment up and running locally very soon.

the ZIP package is all what you need including all extensions which the exe doesn't have as well.

here's the magic configurations:

in your apache httpd.conf file, add this:

LoadModule php5_module c:/php/php5apache2.dll
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php

then, if you are using mysql, copy c:\php\libmysql.dll to c:\windows\system32

restart apache and you should be set.
