Apache /php install issue

i am installing MYsql apache and PHP on a laptop as a development testing server

so far i have installed apache and mysql without a problem untill i attempted to install PHP and intergrate it with apache

the problem is in the modification of the httpd conf file when i add the lines

LoadModule php4_module php4apache2.dll
   AddType application/x-httpd-php .php

Code (markup):

then try and test the config using the apache test config option i am getting an error message telling me that Apache cant locate the file "c:\Program Files\Apache software foundation\apache2.2\php4apache2.dll" i have checked the folder at that path and the file is there the name is spelt correctly and there are no capitalisation issues

any help would be most welcome

 

i would sugest you install xampp

I'm relatively new at this and started with WAMP but quickly switched to installing each program separately. That way as any of the programs have an update, I can apply it as I'm ready and am not dependent on someone updating a packaged set of apps.

One question I have is that since the current version of PHP is 5.2.0, why would you be using version 4?

I didn't have that problem with V5. Don't know whether that is a factor or not.

There is a step-by-step tutorial here, if you want to install all of them separately. If something is wrong at one step, use the feedback form for that step to describe your problem.
