Heres a small guide: 1. Download the following packages: apache 1.3.12 win32 binary from http://www.apache.org php4.0.2 for win32 [2000-08-30] from http://www.php4win.de latest mysql win32 binary from http://www.mysql.com 2. create the following directory structure: +---Intranet | +---httpd | | +---modules | | | \---mod_php4 | +---root | | \your.domain.here | \---sqld 3. - Install Apache 1.3.12 into c:\intranet\httpd - Install MySQL into c:\intranet\sqld - Extract the All PHP4-Files into c:\intranet\httpd\modules\mod_php4 --> no subdirectorys there 4. edit php.ini in c:\intranet\httpd\modules\mod_php4 - change the line "extension=php_gd.dll" to ";extension=php_gd.dll" this module is not so stable ;) - copy php.ini c:\winnt\system32 5. edit the file c:\intranet\httpd\conf\httpd.conf - add the line "LoadModule php4_module modules/mod_php4/php4apache.dll", after where all the LoadModule entrys are. Warning: the other modules are all disabled, leave this ... until your are familiar with this. - search and replace "c:/intranet/httpd/htdocs" with "c:/intranet/root" - on line 276 +/- 5 Lines you must the following changes: Options All AllowOverride All Order allow,deny Allow from all Warning: these are very low security settings ... only for development - search for the line with "DirectoryIndex" and change it ... DirectoryIndex index.html index.php3 index.php4 default.htm default.html - serach for line with "x-httpd" and change/append the two lines: AddType application/x-httpd-php3 .php3 AddType application/x-httpd-php .php4 .php 6. Now setup mysql - copy c:\intranet\sqld\my-example.cnf c:\my.cnf - edit the file and change the line "basedir = c:/intranet/sqld/" 7. OK, all files are setup up, now for the services: I have added two Path to the Path-Enviroment c:\intranet\httpd\modules and c:\intranet\httpd\modules\mod_php4 run the cmd.exe cd intranet\httpd apache -n Apache -i cd intranet\sqld\bin mysqld --install 8. Now you can start the two services!! Juhe to verify if all is running smoothly create the file: c:\intranet\root\test.php4 with one line: <? phpinfo(); ?> 9. open up the browser enter url: http://localhost/test.php4 Hope the helps ... if here are some errors reply to the list or to my directly!
