alright i downloaded php-4.3.4-installer from php.net and installed it and it said that i had to set up apache (server i'm running) to work with php and to read the install file, well i took a look at the install file and my brain almost locked up trying to figure out what the heck they are talking about? can anyone help me?
Let me find my httpd.conf file and I'll find the lines. Are you using Apache 2.x.xx? I'm using PHP 4.3.3 but it should be very similar. Make sure after you edit and save the file to restart apache.
I added the following lines under this line "ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ "C:/Program Files/Apache Group/Apache2/cgi-bin/"" without the extra quotes.
Here is an excerpt to make sure the quotes didn't confuse you:
# run by the server when requested rather than as documents sent to the client.
# The same rules about trailing "/" apply to ScriptAlias directives as to
# Alias.
#
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ "C:/Program Files/Apache Group/Apache2/cgi-bin/"
ScriptAlias /php/ "c:/php/"
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
Action application/x-httpd-php "/php/php.exe"
#
# "C:/Program Files/Apache Group/Apache2/cgi-bin" should be changed to whatever your ScriptAliased
Just restart the Apache server and it will load it up. Now PHP is enabled on your webpage or whatever. You can edit your php.ini file to your preferences but I wouldn't mess with it yet. To use it...you simply use something that needs PHP
Linear Mode
