RE: [PHP-INST] Re Problem with XP Apachi and PHP install - RESOLVED

Apache and PHP run best on Unix based servers so most of the installation and scripts are made to that environment. Windows, while it is a great desktop (many applications and ease of installation) has some very real drawbacks when it comes to hosting web servers. I have Windows 2K servers and Linux servers, getting Apache to run on Windows has always been an issue as not all the modules that can be loaded with Apache work with the Windows OS. If you want a real awaking try installing Horde on Windows.... I figured it out then put-up a Linux server just for Horde. -- Besides, I really wanted to learn how to 'build' apache from scratch! -----Original Message----- From: Alon Solell [mailto:alon@wsco.com] Sent: Thursday, April 17, 2003 11:57 AM To: php-install@lists.php.net Subject: Re: [PHP-INST] 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.
