PHP on LocalHost

Thanks, I'll try that in a little while, once I get all of the recent stable versions installed

I think that's the one that is LoadModule php5apache2.dll one I believe, after I got that error message I just removed apache and PHP.. I did download newer testing ones, that's probably the reason why I'm having problems

then that would be

LoadModule php5_module path/to/php5apache2.dll

If PHP is not in the server root (usually the Apache dir, find ServerRoot "c:/whatever/it/is" in httpd.conf usually at the start of the file). Then use the full path do it like

LoadModule php5_module "c:/path/to/php5apache2.dll"

Why not use wampserver or xampp? it's so much easier

i suggested that in the first page iirc, but you don't learn anything about the server using those progs. just like if you copy and paste everytime you program, you're only hurting yourself.

But if you're only setting up for a test server to test php/html then you shouldn't need to go to all the troubles setting up a server as premade packages are available (wampp, xampp, lampp, etc). When the time comes that you'll need your own server, then you'll ought to know how to set-up one completely.

yea, but it's good, invaluable knowledge. also, it's easier to modify an apache install than any other ones i think, but i could be wrong... haven't messed w/ them in ages

i've got lighttpd running with php and mysql on boot (using archlinux), although i think i may have already said this... :-/
