What do you mean by "# configure the path to php.ini"
I followed the rest of the instructions. |

That is what the line with PHPIniDir is for. So makes apache find the right path to the php.ini  |

? I'm so confused. Sorry I don't have a programming background, so this is all very new to me. I'm trying to learn all this as I go along.
localhost doesn't work anymore after I messed around with this file. 
The last line of my httpd.conf file is
PHPIniDir "C:/PHP5" |

You do if the folder is not in the systems PATH environment variable.
I was confused by your next question till I read your other post about start menu icons. I'll try and anser it there. |

We will help you through this. 
If realy messed up you can use the command line
cd to C:Apache24/bin
and than type httpd -S that shows you any mistakes you made in the file |

I think I am way over my head.
In the task icons on the bottom left of the screen, I was showing Apache 2 and Apache 2.4 so I deleted the Apache2 from my Services.
Now when I type in c:/Apache24/bin I get the error
C:/apache24/bin is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.
Seriously. |

Slow down, take a deep breath! You're floundering a little but on the surface at least
I admit, you're getting it from many sides and there is a learning curve here.
When you see anything with C: and \'s in it, it means paths (folders on the hard drive, in this case the C Drive)
when you see that, it is implied you have to cd to it in CMD... like you did to get httpd -k install working
so, if the CMD window doesn't show
C:\Apache24\bin>_ with the little blinky _ there, you need to type
cd\apache24\bin
then it will show
C:\Apache24\bin>_ with the little blinky _ there
That means you are currently in that folder. Now you can call any of the exe files in there.
httpd -h
htpasswd -h
you can even call the ApacheMonitor, it's just plain
apachemonitor

Mario: isn't httpd -S broken on 2.4? I know it has been fixed in the code for 2.4.4. |

Nope, that is httpd -M and httpd -L which is broken in the released up tp 2.4.3. I haven't tested 2.4.4 yet since it is not out yet I was a bit lazy with compiling the last months
httpd -S works very great, much better than in 2.2.x
--edit --
You are right. It does not work. Since I work with debian and ubuntu, too I remembered that...
So I can't wait for 2.4.4 |
