Hi there

recently i decided to try my hand in php.
but have not been successful in installing it.
I have installed Apache and php
but not able to get it working.
I have php.ini file to the windows folder
dll files to the system folder.
made changes to php.ini

but when i add the following line to Apache configuration file http.conf i am not able to start Apache server

LoadModule php5_module "d:/php/php5apache.dll"

i have installed php in d:/php and apache in d:/program files
i am using windows 98
the error message is some syntax error.
i tried several variants of this but nothing worked

what am i doing wrong?

Try it with backslashes instead of forward slashes


d:\php\php5apache.dll

Hey i think u should simply download this s/w called easyphp and install it
it automatically installs apache and mysql and performs the required linking
