| I installed apache using the msi installer..into the D: driver because i have fedora is on the C: drive so i cant install any thing on it from windows, i'm saying so because drive C: seems to have a significant importance while installing apache..don't know why !!!! 
 any way after installing apache on drive D:\program files\apache software foundation\apache 2.2
 
 whenever i start apache service i get an error...tried to run httpd.exe manually from the cmd console and i got that apache cant find php5_module, error on line xxx in httpd.conf
 
 i tried so many things to fix the problem..it really made me
         but now i un-installed apache and decided to start fresh again..undid the changes i made including modifying\adding system variables
 
 i tried
 so guys would you please help me out here..link me..write me tips..any thing will help, but please keep in mind that I don't know any thing about apache but that its a web server and that I'll have to learn how to install php and mysql afterwards, because in the end all I want to do is to install forums, CMSs such joomla..etc just to learn the most i can about them
 
 thank u all

| yes i added few lines to the httpd.conf file 
 
  	  | Quote: |  	  | Loadmodule php5_module "D:/php/php5apache2.dll" | 
 and two more lines to define the application type for php and phps
 
 the php installation i have is just files to copy/paste..its nothing automated
 
 still didnt work..is there a step by step tutorial to setup apache ?..i searched but it seems that people get lucky while installing apache and things go fine !!
 
 if i install apache using the msi installer and try to run it immediately without any php installation or any thing..will it run ?
 am confused..just what are the first steps to install apache, php and mysql ?

| There are quite good tutorials here in the forum How-to's & Documentation & Tips. 
 First setup Apache without php and see it is running fine.
 
 Btw. when you are running Apache 2.2.x then you have to use php5apache2_2.dll
