Installing PHP 4.2.3 with Apache 2.0.43 on WinXP Home Edition

Team, I've been trying to get PHP working on my WinXP machine for the past few days now, but have been unsucessful. The Apache web server itself starts and works fine (without PHP), but whenever I try loading the PHP module, it doesn't restart. Instead, I get the following error message: "The requested operation has failed". I don't quite know what the problem is because the error log doesn't tell me much (see error.log snipit code below). I think I've configured both PHP and Apache correctlty (see php.ini and httpd.conf snipit code below), but I'm obviously missing something. If anyone can help, please let me know. Thank you. ### Start snip from php.ini ### doc_root = C:/Program Files/Apache Group/Apache2/htdocs/ ; The directory under which PHP opens the script using /~usernamem used only ; if nonempty. user_dir = ; Directory in which the loadable extensions (modules) reside. extension_dir = C:/PHP/extensions/ ### Start snip from httpd.conf ### #LoadModule vhost_alias_module modules/mod_vhost_alias.so #LoadModule ssl_module modules/mod_ssl.so LoadModule php4_module "C:/PHP/sapi/php4apache.dll" AddModule mod_php4.c AddType application/x-httpd-php .php ### Start snip from error.log ### [Tue Oct 15 21:12:20 2002] [notice] Parent: Received shutdown signal -- Shutting down the server.
