note 45048 added to install.windows.apache2

When installing PHP5 on Apache2 in a Windows environment, here is the quickest way to a clean install: 1) Change the base install directory to C:\Program Files such that the Apache2 Windows installer installs to C:\Program Files\Apache2 2) Extract the PHP5 .zip file into C:\Program Files\Apache2\php 3) Copy the php.ini-recommended file to C:\Program Files\Apache2 and rename it to php.ini 4) Add these lines to the apache2 httpd.conf file: # PHP Support LoadModule php5_module php/php5apache2.dll AddType application/x-httpd-php .php 5) Test the config and restart Apache2 You do not need to copy any files into the Windows directories. Apache2+PHP will run happily from it's own directory. I also sometimes install Apache to C:\Program Files\Apache2.0.50 so newer versions can be installed in their own directories. ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/install.windows.apache2.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+45048 Delete -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+45048&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+45048&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
