Note Submitter: soham dot bag at gmail dot com ---- php5.2vc6 --- Apache 2.0.x --- Windows 7 Was not able restart Apache after installing php. Windows was throwing error(alert) "Requested operation could not be completed". Got frustrated after about 6-7 times install and uninstalling. Found this at last. (regards to people who posted above.Got the idea from there.) Install Apache in dir - C:\Program Files (x86)\ (note use <C:\Program Files\> in 32 bit machines) Service should be up and running if you follow normal steps on install wizard(download as windows installer program). Install php in C:\ (root directory, not inside 'Program Files' or 'Windows'). Navigate to> C:\Program Files (x86)\Apache Group\Apache2\conf .. Add the following lines at the end of httpd.config file #BEGIN PHP INSTALLER EDITS - REMOVE ONLY ON UNINSTALL ScriptAlias /php/ "C:/PHP/" AddHandler x-httpd-php .php Action x-httpd-php "php/php.exe" #END PHP INSTALLER EDITS - REMOVE ONLY ON UNINSTALL You will find the comments (lines beginning with semicolons) existing in your file.replace the portion between. This works.
