Configuring Webserver (apache) for PHP

Hello,

I just downloaded apache 2.2, php 5, and mysql 5.1. My mysql seems to be working fine and so does my apache server. However when I make pages with php code on them they show up on the webpage. I am not having this problem with the html on the pages. I think it may be due to the fact that I didn't configure it properly. The book I have that explains how to configure the programs tells me to do the following:
to php: take ; out of ;extension=php_mysqli.dll (i did this and didn't have a problem)
to apache: add addtype application/x-httpd-php .php (i also did this and didn't have an issue)
activate module by removing # from #loadmodule php5_module "c:/php/php5apache2.dll" There was no module for this so I added it and it told me there was an error when i went to restart it. I tried naming the module loadmodule php5_module "c:/php/php5apache2_2.dll" because I have a file that came with the php download named that. It told me there was an error for that also. I also have a file named php5apache2_2_filter.dll but i wasn't sure what that is.

So I don't really know how to configure apache for the php file. If anyone could help me figure this out that would be great. O and by the way I am using windows xp. Thanks.

Don't just make a website: Make an impact

 

Just install Xampp and all the stuff will be installed properly u will not need to compile anything just install it

 

Assuming that you've installed PHP into C:\PHP5 ( if not, change the path ):

LoadModule php5_module "C:/PHP5/php5apache2_2.dll"
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
PHPIniDir "C:/PHP5"

Code (markup):

 

check out www.appservnetwork.com you don't need to configure its already configured for a local system. Best of luck.

 

easyphp is good choice comes with

pre configured

Linux , apache , mysql , php there

 

Ok, so I downloaded from appservnetwork because I didn't need linux and when I went to the website to figure out where to save the files for the website because there is no htdocs file it said to save them under www and when i type in localhost/filename it doesn't show up, only if I type in the actual location on my computer. Do I need to save the files someplace else?

 

I use Appserv and I put all my files in C:/Appserv/www/filename.php

and I will type in http://localhoost/filename.php and it works perfectly

Did you uninstall all the applications (PHP, MySQL & Apache) before installing Appserv?

If not uninstall everything as well as appserv and start a fresh install.

 

I uninstalled it and then reinstalled it and saved it and it runs fine. I didn't uninstall the apache from before. Thanks everyone for all of your help!
