Anyone running Apache on XP with PHP/mySQL?
Jeff Lewis:
If so, I'm looking for some help setting it up to run. IIS just refuses to work on my desktop for some reason so I need to run Apache.
I need to know which Windows package of PHP to run and how to set that up in httpd.conf or whatever :)

I've not got Apache on my XP machine but I do on my Win2K machine. I know thats not what you wasked... but I thought I'd mention it. I could give Apache on XP a try.. but not for a couple of days. :(
Jeff Lewis:
Well I'm sure it requires the same conf changes to get PHP running on the two boxes...
Michele:
I just downloaded the latest of each (Apache is the 1.x version, not 2.0) and followed their basic Windows install docs.
One hint, MySQL does not like being on any drive other than C:\ - it's a real PITA if you installed it elsewhere.
In the httpd.conf make sure you have:
--- Code: ---LoadModule php4_module d:/php/sapi/php4apache.dll
AddModule mod_php4.c
--- End code ---
In the appropriate sections and with the correct path.
Run the mysqld-nt.exe for MySQL as a service. If you want copies of my config files, PM me your email address - nm, I see you're on Messenger right now. :)

I'd be more than happy to provide you with my http.conf file. Of course some things depend on where Apache, PHP, MySQL and Perl are installed. I don't remember it being too hard to get everything set up (once I abandoned Apache 2). But that was a few months ago and since its just a local host, I don't care too much about any type of security.
