I've installed apache-2.2.6-win32-x86-openssl-0.9.8e without trouble.
I loaded the default page without trouble.
I've installed php-5.2.4-win32-installer and it appeared to run without a problem.
apache installed in
| Quote: | | c:/Program Files/Apache Software Foundation/Apache2.2 |
php installed in
| Quote: | | c:/Program Files/PHP |
When i opened the httpd.conf file I saw no entry for loading the PHP dll/module so I added the following after the last LoadModule:
| Quote: | LoadModule php5_module "C:/PROGRA~1/PHP/php5apache2_2.dll"
PHPIniDir "c:/PROGRA~1/PHP"
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php |
I tried the usual spelling of "Program Files" first but thought perhaps the space is what is causing the problem.
I saw someone suggest running apache in debug so I ran the following:
| Quote: | | C:\PROGRA~1\Apache Software Foundation\Apache2.2>bin\httpd.exe -w -e debug -f .\conf\httpd.conf |
The output is a list of successfully loaded module. The PHP module is not in that list.
I noticed that in the httpd.conf file all the modules are being loaded from modlues/ and the modules all have .so endings? on windows?
In addition I created a simple test file under htdocs called hello.php
| Code: | <html>
<head>
<title>PHP Test</title>
</head>
<body>
<?php echo '<p>Hello World</p>'; ?>
<?
phpinfo();
?>
</body>
</html> |
browsing to http://localhost/hello.php returned a lovely blank page.
I thought this would take me 10 minutes to configure.
Help please  |

The version of apache I used was a binary fresh off of httpd.apache.org. I saw elsewhere in these forum that there is this thing called the down-LOADS section of apachelounge  I downloaded the 2.2.6 patched binary from there along with the latest PHP module.
After extracting the zip I attempted to run httpd from the command prompt. I got "invalid ServerRoot"
I edited the httpd.conf file correcting it to where I had placed apache2.
This did not work.
I "gave-up" trying to place it in a subdir containing a space in the name and alas placed it in "c:/"
After that:
I first made sure httpd ran:
| Code: | | c:/apache2/bin/httpd -w -e debug |
it did.
next I used the php dll/module I got from php.net after adding the LoadModule declaraton to the httpd.conf
Running httpd again in the console I saw that the module loaded--Finally!
I made the remainder of my config changes to the httpd.conf file, moved the hello.php file into the corect dir,
restarted httpd in console/debug mode
It worked.
Note: I used the php5apache2_2.dll from php.net and not the module from apache lounge. |

just a tip ... any file locations that have a space need to be quoted in any of the .conf file
ServerRoot "C:/program files/apache group/apache2"
I think I had problems with PHP module outside of the Apache tree. I just dropped a copy of php5apache2_2.dll in the Apache modules directory and called as normal.
It seems to be ignoring the PHPIniDir "c:/program files/PHP" so I just put php.ini in c:\windows and all works fine for me.
Actually, in my case, both PHP and Apache are not in /program files, heck, they aren't even on the C drive. I realized back in version 1.3.3, yes 1.3.3, that getting Apache out of program files/apache group made for much less work when configuring it. c:/apache22 is much less work than "c:/program files/apache group/apache22." I think this is the first time I've typed all that in 9 or 10 years |
