It is my first time in here and also my first question. I hate to admit it that
I got stuck now. I got the Apache set up on my new computer and also
the PHP5. After that, I modified the Apache2 httpd.conf file.

I added this into my configure file

LoadModule php5_module "c:/php/php5apache2.dll"

Then when I restarted my server. I got this error.

http.exe: Syntax errror on line 115 of C:/Program Files/Apache Software
Foundation/Apache2.2/conf/httpd.conf: Cannot load C:/php/php5apache2.dll
into server: The specified module cound not be found.

Yes, indeed this is a really common problem.
1. Check if you have added php dir into your windows path.
2. Then check if you have this file in your PHP distro: "php5apache2_2.dll"
3. Then configure the apache conf like this

LoadModule php5_module "c:/php/php5apache2_2.dll"
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php

# configure the path to php.ini
PHPIniDir "C:/php"

This should work.

Good Luck.

Use <?php echo "Hello world"; ?> instead. From version 4.something PHP needs to have the full tag "<?php " in order to recognize the script as php.

Run through the PHP manual for your version, as there are several changes from older versions.

Good luck.

Hm...very strange.
Check the following:
1. Check php.ini whether you have correctly entered the path to your web folder. e.g. if you apache is located on c:\apache\ and your document root folder is htdocs, then the php.ini should point to c:/apache/htdocs/

2. Put your file named e.g. test.php into the web dir - e.g. c:\apache\htdocs\test.php

3. Check what addresses your apache server is monitoring - e.g. localhost:80 or 127.0.0.1:80. If you are not sure you can just put it like this *:80 and it will monitor all ip addresses assigned to your computer.

4. Open the browser and try accessing your php file like you would do with a normal web page, however your url should look like this:
e.g. http://localhost/test.php or http://127.0.0.1/test.php

Do check all of the above and advise what is the final result.

Good luck.

Now, about the loading of modules - you do not have to enable an extention if you're not planning to use it.

To disable a module, open your php.ini and put the # sign in front of each extention.

The most common extentions you should enable by not putting the # sign in front are mysql(if you are using a mysql database) and gd2 - this is a handy extention for manipulation of pictures and image files.

If you're not using the rest of the extentions, just disable them.

Then, after editing and saving the php.ini file, restart the apache server. Then create a new php document, e.g. test.php, and put it in the apache document_root directory. In the test.php file put only this statement:

<?php phpinfo(); ?>

By typing in your browser http://localhost/test.php you should see a very nice table with infromation about your php installation.

Check and advise what is the outcome. If everything is ok, you should see the nice table with a lot of info. If php is not working, then you should see the php code in your browser window.

Cheers.

Hmm... very awkward problems you have.

I ran the error status on google, and got a lot of reported errors like this. Most of them lead to an incompatible versions of Apache and PHP.

So, please check the apache.org and the php.net for the latest versions and eventually compatibility issues.

I suggest you uninstall the current versions of both apache and php and reinstall them from scratch.

Apache has an installation guide if you download the win32 installer, which will guide you through the instal process.

About php I am not very sure, however, in the root dir of php there is a file like php.ini.recommended. You can use this file like a guide for setting up correctly php with apache and you should finaly save it as php.ini .

Look for other solutions to your problem on the net, still my opinion is you'd better start from scratch.
