I just installed php 5.3 and apache 2.2 on my computer. While Apache seems to know I have php(it shows php 5.3 on the bottom of the apache monitor) when i tried to load a page with phpinfo() nothing shows up. I know i have the right syntax(i have used php b4 but not on my own computer). I feel like something is wrong with my .ini file. I believed I turned the short_tags thing off and in my httpd.conf file i added the lines:
LoadModule negotiation_module modules/mod_negotiation.so
LoadModule php5_module c:/php/php5apache2_2.dll
PHPIniDir "c:/php/"
Can someone please help?

If short_tags is off then you should use e.g
<?php
phpinfo()
?>
You shouldnt need to manually mofify your httpd.conf, by the way. During the PHP install, tell it you have apache (make sure to choose correct version) and point at the %apachedie%/conf folder and it should "just work"
At least it does for me, but i am using Server 2003.
What versions of PHP and Apache are you using
kbjustin 0 Light Poster
5.3 php 2.2 for apache And i actually meant to say i turned short tags on but i tried both ways and nothing. I have a book and i followed its instructions about the httpd.conf file for apache and I entered those right(according to the book)

Reinstall PHP and let the installer do the configuration for you (there is a step called webserver setup, just choose apache 2.2 and point at the directory where httpd.conf resides). See if that works.

this may sound stupid on my end but the instructions i had never really told me to install/configure they had me download the zip and then extract in c:/php i never really did any installing just modifying the .ini file

Ah right, download the .msi (windows installer) version, its much less hassle. It just does it all for you....

I noticed something strange, i can run php from the cmd so i tried running php test2.php(the file i am trying to get to work) and unless im mistaken I shouldn't see the php syntax when I do only what i will see in the web browser. My code is
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">
<html>
<head><title> Work </title></head>
<body>
Please Work
<?
phpinfo();
?>
</body>
</html>That is also exactly what it prints out when i run php test2.php
jbennet 1,618 Most Valuable Poster Team Colleague Featured Poster
Yep, something is wrong then.
Running phinfo() using the CLI parser, should print to the console the same resulting information you would expect to see on the page (e.g platform, modules loaded etc...), not the code itself.

now I am extremely confused because when i trying using php cli parser on index.html(the file that was put there when i installed apache) i put phpinfo(with the correct php tags) in it and it works. Then i copied the entire code pasted into another file saved it as a .html file also and tried using the cli parser and it didnt work for that file
kbjustin 0 Light Poster
forgot to mention that index.html doesnt display right in a browser only when i use the cli parser

If php works from the command console but not through the browser then I would say that php is not communicating with the webserver/apache or the php web service has not started up. You might want to check with the command console the command c:\php\php.exe -r 'php_info();' At the top of its output will be hidden errors that may stop the php service from launching. Also, be sure to install apache before php otherwise there might be some configuration problems. And if your using windows, the easiest way the get a web environment setup is by using xampp.

Just to make sure, you are something to the effect of "http://localhost/index.htm" in your address bar, NOT something "C:\Documents and Settings\My Documents\index.html", etc... right?

Opps, silly me placing a bug in that one line of php code. There should be no underline in php_info(); and instead be phpinfo();
Also make sure the path on the left side of the command is the path to your php console/exe file. So try the following if you have installed php in C:\php\
c:\php\php.exe -r 'phpinfo();'And what to do with that code, place it in the windows command terminal located at start->run->type: cmd ->press enter -> type code described above -> press enter. It should list the data in phpinfo() function to check your configurations.
Also I would suggest to do ctrl+alt+delete to see if php is actually running in the background. But would do a reboot first so results aren't misleading. If the php service is not running in the background then it is likely to be a broken dll (eg. corrupted or incompatible).

I cant get the part even to work before he install IIS. Also sort of new to this stuff is there really any difference between IIS and Apache. Also I plan on getting a netbook soon with linux do you think it would just be easier to do all this on the netbook?

If php isn't running in the background it means there is a fatal error in the main php.ini file. As a test, first copy your php.ini file then in the original disable all the dll files so php has no extensions. Then delete the individual dll configurations in the original and see if that works. You may also post your php.ini file so I can show what I mean. This will determine if it is an invalid extension simply by checking weather the background processor is there or not after all extensions are disabled. Below is an example of what my php.ini would look like with all extensions disabled but only use the below as a guide to altering yours as they may not match.
;;;;;;;;;;;
; WARNING ;
;;;;;;;;;;;
; This is the default settings file for new PHP installations.
; By default, PHP installs itself with a configuration suitable for
; development purposes, and *NOT* for production purposes.
; For several security-oriented considerations that should be taken
; before going online with your site, please consult php.ini-recommended
; and http://php.net/manual/en/security.php.
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
; About php.ini ;
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
; This file controls many aspects of PHP's behavior. In order for PHP to
; read it, it must be named 'php.ini'. PHP looks for it in the current
; working directory, in the path designated by the environment variable
; PHPRC, and in the path that was defined in compile time (in that order).
; Under Windows, the compile-time path is the Windows directory. The
; path in which the php.ini file is looked for can be overridden using
; the -c argument in command line mode.
;
; The syntax of the file is extremely simple. Whitespace and Lines
; beginning with a semicolon are silently ignored (as you probably guessed).
; Section headers (e.g. [Foo]) are also silently ignored, even though
; they might mean something in the future.
;
; Directives are specified using the following syntax:
; directive = value
; Directive names are *case sensitive* - foo=bar is different from FOO=bar.
;
; The value can be a string, a number, a PHP constant (e.g. E_ALL or M_PI), one
; of the INI constants (On, Off, True, False, Yes, No and None) or an expression
; (e.g. E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE), or a quoted string ("foo").
;
; Expressions in the INI file are limited to bitwise operators and parentheses:
; | bitwise OR
; & bitwise AND
; ~ bitwise NOT
; ! boolean NOT
;
; Boolean flags can be turned on using the values 1, On, True or Yes.
; They can be turned off using the values 0, Off, False or No.
;
; An empty string can be denoted by simply not writing anything after the equal
; sign, or by using the None keyword:
;
; foo = ; sets foo to an empty string
; foo = none ; sets foo to an empty string
; foo = "none" ; sets foo to the string 'none'
;
; If you use constants in your value, and these constants belong to a
; dynamically loaded extension (either a PHP extension or a Zend extension),
; you may only use these constants *after* the line that loads the extension.
;
;

; extension_dir directive above.
; Windows Extensions
; Note that ODBC support is built in, so no dll is needed for it.
; Note that many DLL files are located in the extensions/ (PHP 4) ext/ (PHP 5)
; extension folders as well as the separate PECL DLL download (PHP 5).
; Be sure to appropriately set the extension_dir directive.
In my experience it is best to follow the process of elimination.

why not download apache friends xampp (wamp) it already installs apache and mysql, newer installers offer installing apache and mysql as a stand-alone or as a service..

just download the installer... and voila.. you can just start the apache/mysql programs and go to your browser and view http://localhost/ or http://127.0.0.1 or your computer's ip address..

Ok i tried changing the .ini file but no luck. Also with xampp i already have apache and mysql installed, do i need to delete them first or will xampp realize this while installing. If i do have to delete how should i make sure i completely get rid of it as i had a problem installing mysql at first because i didnt completely get rid of it after it failed installing once

it might be better to uninstall your previous non-working install before xampp..

In Apache your httpd.conf file
Be sure that php module is enabled. Take out the # in front of the line if it is there.
If your using PHP version 5 Look for the following lines
LoadModule php5_module "YOUR FULL DIR PATH TO/php5apache2_2.dll"
or substitute 5 for your PHP version.
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php3
If these lines does not exist add them.

cwarn23 gave you probably the best advice here. If your still getting that error, it would mean you have a parsing error in your ini file. PHP cannot start because of this error.
Since php 5 a parse error in ini file will cause php process to kill.
This is all I know to do from where I am. I would follow cwarn23 advice through and see if that works even disable the .dll files and try to pinpoint the problem like he was saying.
Good luck

I specifically said in that post not to copy that file but to delete things in your file so it is left with what is shown in my file otherwise you will for sure have errors. So in other words you delete everything after the list of extensions including the list of extensions. But make sure you have a backup first.
