RE: [PHP-DB] php/ apache/ windows XP

looks like you didn't read the install.txt provided with php, so i'll just paste the important part here for your convenience: Installing PHP for Apache as module ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Now that version 4.1 introduces a safer sapi module, we recommend that you configure PHP as a module in Apache. To accomplish this, you have to load the php4apache.dll in your Apache httpd.conf. !! NOTE !! Whereever you load php4apache.dll from, php4apache.dll also needs the php4ts.dll also included in the PHP4 distribution. php4apache.dll depends on php4ts.dll which is loaded as soon as Apache loads php4apache.dll. If php4ts.dll can't be found, you usually get an error like (also see the "Problems?" section at the end of the file): Cannot load c:/php/sapi/php4apache.dll into server So where does php4ts.dll has to be to be properly loaded ? php4ts.dll is searched in the following order: 1) in the directory where apache.exe is start from 2) in the directory where php4apache.dll is loaded from 3) in your %SYSTEMROOT%\System32, %SYSTEMROOT%\system and %SYSTEMROOT% directory. Note: %SYSTEMROOT%\System32 only applies to Windows NT/2000/XP) 4) in your whole %PATH% Note: What is %SYSTEMROOT% ? Depending on your Windows installation this may be for example c:\winnt or C:\windows Usually you would just copy it over to %SYSTEMROOT%\System32. But if you want to have multiple PHP installations (for whatever reason) this is a bad idea. For this circumstance the safest thing is to let php4ts.dll reside in the same directory where php4apache.dll is loaded from (see point 2 above). After you've set up the file layout properly, you're ready to finally configure Apache to load the PHP4 module. Just add the following lines to your httpd.conf: LoadModule php4_module c:/php/sapi/php4apache.dll AddModule mod_php4.c AddType application/x-httpd-php .php Note: Especially newer versions of Apache do not need the AddModule directive anymore, your milage may vary. Where do I have to put the php.ini ? The php.ini files is only searched in two places: 1) in your Apache installation directory (e.g. c:\apache\apache) 2) in your %SYSTEMROOT% directory. -----Original Message----- From: Mechanical Messiah [mailto:mechanicalmessiah@yahoo.com] Sent: 25. apríl 2003 19:32 To: php-db@lists.php.net Subject: [PHP-DB] php/ apache/ windows XP What is the problem here? I'm a n00b, I'm extremely sorry if I'm wasting your time, but I couldn't find the answer elsewhere! I'm trying to set up php through apache4 on an XP server. all i get when i view a php file is the source of it displayed in the browser. added to httpd.conf --> "LoadModule php4_module ../../../php/php4ts.dll" error --> "Syntax error on line 174 of C:/Program Files/Apache Group/Apache2/conf/httpd.conf: Can't locate API module structure `php4_module' in file C:/PHP/php4ts.dll: No error" __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
