Re: Re Problem with XP Apachi and PHP install - RESOLVED

Hi All, I found the problem to be in the missing entry of doc_root in php.ini. I found this after doing a walkthrough of a suggestion of path changes made by Kevin Angus (thanks Kevin). About a year ago, I started to play with PHP and dropped it cold as it wasn't working for me back then (install that is). This time, I'm forced to have it installed as I need to get the work done at the end of the day. I don't understand why is it that if it is so obvious that many are just using basic defaults of Apache (finally I'm spelling that one right:-) ) with basic defaults of PHP, why not make a set of already made out of the box default options? I'll bet there are a few more people out there that are just stuck like I am, and the instructions of copying dll's, and making careful updates which are going to be almost the same for most starting out users, are just driving them away. Just my 2 cents on that. Thanks again for everybody on thier suggestions. -Alon.

I have not made any changes to php.in as of yet. I'm lost on anything beyond that. Please help me to get this thing going. Thanks, -Alon.
