Re: Install php/apache/win2k

Sotee Read through this. Maybe it will help I got Apache-PHP-W2K working but it had nothing to do with document root as some had suggested. In fact, I cleared the doc_root variable in php.ini and PHP still loads. Prior to these attempts, PHP would run from the command line (php.exe -i) Here's what I did in Apache's httpd.conf file .... 1. THIS IS MY ORIGINAL CONFIGURATION AND DOES NOT WORK (note: first attempt: PHP installed in C:/Web_Dev/PHP/ and there is no php4 directory)

     ScriptAlias  /php4/  "C:/Web_Dev/PHP/"
     AddType application/x-httpd-php4 .php
     Action  application/x-httpd-php4 "C:/Web_Dev/PHP/php.exe"

- the explicit path in the 'Action' line doesn't make PHP run. THIS DOES NOT WORK EITHER

    ScriptAlias  /php/  "c:/Web_Dev/php/"
    AddType application/x-httpd-php     .php
    Action  application/x-httpd-php "c:/Web_Dev/php/php.exe"
- I think this one fails because the alias replaces the /php/ substring in the 'Action' path so Apache tries to run "c:/Web_Dev/c:/Web_Dev/php/php.exe"

THIS

    ScriptAlias  /php4/  "c:/Web_Dev/php/"
    AddType application/x-httpd-php     .php
    Action  application/x-httpd-php "/Web_Dev/php/php.exe"

GIVES THIS ERROR The requested URL /Web_Dev/php/php.exe/info.php was not found on this server. THIS

    ScriptAlias  /php4/  "c:/Web_Dev/php/"
    AddType application/x-httpd-php     .php
    Action  application/x-httpd-php "C:/Web_Dev/php/php.exe"

GIVES THIS (very familiar) ERROR

    Invalid URI in request GET /info.php HTTP/1.1

THIS WORKS

    ScriptAlias  /php/  "c:/Web_Dev/php/"
    AddType application/x-httpd-php     .php
    Action  application/x-httpd-php "/php/php.exe"

AND JUST FOR GRINS, THIS WORKS (there is no foo directory anywhere)

    ScriptAlias  /foo/  "c:/Web_Dev/php/"
    AddType application/x-httpd-foo     .php
    Action  application/x-httpd-foo "/foo/php.exe"

BUT THIS DOES NOT WORK

    ScriptAlias  /foo/  "c:/Web_Dev/php/"
    AddType application/x-httpd-foo     .php
    Action  application/x-httpd-foo "c:/Web_Dev/php/php.exe"
- so it would seem it's all about the aliases replacing substrings as well as avoiding an explicit c:/ path for the 'Action' line ...

p.s. also, download PHP 4.1.0 - the latest release Regards, :J Sotee Loey wrote:

Hi all; Could anyone help? I can not get apache and php to work under win2k. The apache is working fine except the php doesn't work at all. I have tried the cgi and module versions. I have tried all the recommended methods in the new group. I follow the installation manual that come with php but still it is not working. If any could help I appreciated. Thank in advance. I am able to get php to work with iis5 fine but I want to use apache instead of iis5. S- __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Buy the perfect holiday gifts at Yahoo!
