hi there I have a problem with installing PHP on my winXp with apache server using the installer. I'm missing the sapi directory ("c:/progra~1/php/sapi/") with in it the php4apache.dll file which apache misses. The weird thing is that I've succesfully installed php and apache on this same machine, but now it's not working. I've copied my httpd.conf and php.ini files from my last (succesfull) installation. I have apache 1.3.28 and php 4.3.4 (but the latest version 4.3.8 also doesn't work) Please help |:-(

Are your paths the same as they were in your last install? If not, you need to update the conf files. Especially your modules directory You might read along the PHP manual install instructions and verify everythings in the right place. I always prefer the manual install anyway. I usually place php4apache.dll (and php4ts.dll) in the Apache root, or Apache/modules directory If all else fails you could uninstall and try the WAMP bundle. -- Chris Martin Web Developer Open Source & Web Standards Advocate http://www.chriscodes.com/
