The CGI binary - c:\php\php.exe -, the CLI binary - c:\php\cli\php.exe -, and the SAPI modules - c:\php\sapi\*.dll - rely on the main dll c:\php\php4ts.dll. You have to make sure, that this dll can be found by your PHP installation. The search order for this dll is as follows: The same directory from where php.exe is called. In case you use a SAPI module the same directory from where your webserver loads the dll (e.g. php4apache.dll). Any directory in your Windows PATH environment variable. The best bet is to make php4ts.dll available, regardless which interface (CGI or SAPI module) you plan to use. To do so, you have to copy this dll to a directory on your Windows path. The best place is your Windows system directory: C:\Windows\System for Windows 9x/ME C:\WINNT\System32 for Windows NT/2000 or C:\WINNT40\System32 for NT/2000 server C:\Windows\System32 for Windows XP If you plan to use a SAPI module from c:\php\sapi and do not like to copy dlls to your Windows system directory, you have the alternative choice to simply copy php4ts.dll to the sapi folder of your extracted zip package, c:\php\sapi. The next step is to set up a valid configuration file for PHP, php.ini. There are two ini files distributed in the zip file, php.ini-dist and php.ini-recommended. We advise you to use php.ini-recommended, because we optimized the default settings in this file for performance, and security. Read this well documented file carefully and in addition study the ini settings and set every element manually yourself. If you would like to achieve the best security, then this is the way for you, although PHP works fine with these default ini files. Copy your chosen ini-file to a directory where PHP is able to find and rename it to php.ini. By default PHP searches php.ini in your Windows directory: On Windows 9x/ME/XP copy your chosen ini file to your %WINDIR%, which is typically C:\Windows. On Windows NT/2000 copy your chosen ini file to your %WINDIR% or %SYSTEMROOT%, which is typically C:\WINNT or C:\WINNT40 for NT/2000 servers. If you're using NTFS on Windows NT, 2000 or XP, make sure that the user running the webserver has read permissions to your php.ini (e.g. make it readable by Everyone). ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/install.apache2.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+40780 Delete -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+40780&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+40780&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
