[Resolved] Apache Question

[The Hobo]

I'm so confused. I'm at this page: http://www.apache.org/dist/httpd/ what do I need to download? I know there's been many threads lately about setting up Apache, PHP, and MySQL. So I thought I'd give it a try.

*assumes you're using Windows*

http://www.apache.org/dist/httpd/binaries/win32/

[The Hobo]

So....do I download all of them?

[scoutt]

no you need only one

apache_2.0.36-win32-x86-no_ssl.msi

or if you want SSL and no source you get this one

apache_1.3.24-win32-x86-no_src.msi

but that is an older version so it is up to you.

[chrisjk]

I advise you get this one

http://www.apache.org/dist/httpd/bin...x86-no_ssl.msi

[stickman373]

you could download PhpTriad it installs apache, mysql, and php for u

http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/p...1.exe?download

It's installed. Now what do I have to do? Is there any configuration that has to be done?

[The Hobo]

woo! I got Apache going. Now I'm gonna work on PHP.

[The Hobo]

do the PHP files have to be in the htdocs folder for them to execute?

[The Hobo]

I got this error when trying to run a simple PHP script:

Error message:
Premature end of script headers: php.exe

??

[scoutt]

try running phpinfo() in a script

<?php
phpinfo()
?>

try that and see if it will run. if not you don't have apache configured to run php

[The Hobo]

Nope, same error. Should the line in the httpd.config file be "Action application/x-httpd-php /php/php.exe" or "# Format: Action application/x-httpd-php /php/php.exe" ??

[The Hobo]

I'm following the tutorial you have linked on your site btw, lameindustries.org or something like it.

[The Hobo]

filburt, that even takes me farther down a dead end road.

[scoutt]

I have this in mine

Action application/x-httpd-php4 "/php/php.exe"
Action application/x-httpd-php4 "/php4/php.exe"
Action application/x-httpd-php4 "/php3/php.exe"


I think it just tells apache what to look for in extensions.

[The Hobo]

I'm still dead. I restarted the .conf file from the default and went through that tutorial and the one on scouts site and both end up dry.
