The Apache server 2.0.39 http://www.apache.org/dist/httpd/binaries/win32/ Latest stable PHP http://snaps.php.net/win32 (check the log file http://snaps.php.net/win32/snapshot-STABLE.log and find the line that says 'Building php4apache2'. If there's an OK next to it then you can download that version from the parent directory http://snaps.php.net/win32 ) Install Apache server Unzip the php4-win32-STABLE-snapshotnumber.zip, you'll get a folder php4-win32-STABLE-snapshotnumber Rename it to PHP and copy it to the root drive (usually c:\, so you end up with c:\PHP) Copy the php.ini.recommended file to c:\winnt (or c:\windows) and rename it php.ini edit php.ini in notepad as follows: 1. find 'doc_root' using ctrl+F and set doc_root = "C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache2\htdocs" (assuming you installed Apache in its default path) 2. find 'extension_dir' using ctrl+F and set extension_dir = "C:\PHP\sapi" 3. save it and exit Move the file php4ts.dll from C:\PHP to c:\winnt\system32 (or c:\windows\system) Go to the folder C:\PHP\sapi and rename php4apache2.dll to php4apache2.so (basically just change the extension from .dll to .so) Go to Start -> Programs -> Apache HTTP Server 2.0.39 -> Configure Apache Server and click on 'Edit the Apache httpd.conf Configuration File' the httpd.conf file opens up. Look for the block of LoadModule statements and at the end of the block add LoadModule php4_module c:/php/sapi/php4apache2.so then look for AddType using ctrl+F and below AddType application/x-tar .tgz add AddType application/x-httpd-php .php Save and exit. Stop Apache and start again and you should be good to go.
