Purpose Notes for installation of Apache & PHP on Win32
Author SLAYER78 (feel free to write to me at
E-Mail tosk@talk21.com)
Versions The software versions this install readme doc
refers to:
1. Apache 1.3.12 -- http://httpd.apache.org/dist/
2. PHP 4 Win -- 4.02, get it from http://www.php4win.de
The version I am talking about was compiled on on
8 Aug, 2000
3. Also download the manual.zip from http://www.php.net
------------------------------------------------------------
R E C O M M E N D E D S E Q U E N C E O F I N S T A L L A T I O N:
1. Apache (Just run the file apache_1_3_12_win32.exe) -- from http://www.apache.org
By default, the Win32 binary installation for Apache will install Apache web
server into the folder "C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache" if the default
drive is C:, for instance. It is recommended to change this path to
something more straight-forward such as "C:\Apache" during the installation
process. Spaces in the names of folders sometimes lead to problems.
2. PHP (Unzip the php-4.0.2-Win32.zip file and follow instructions in the
README.TXT file)
3. Manual (Unzip the php-4-manual.zip file and view manual.htm). A few quick
steps are needed for PHP4 to be configured with Apache, and these are described in the manual. The procedure that worked for me, where I install
PHP as a module, is described below.
P H P I N S T A L L P R O C E D U R E ETC.
The one that works for me.
- Install Apache 1.3.12 into c:\Apache
- Create a subfolder called "mod_php4" in the modules folder of Apache
c:\Apache\modules\mod_php4
- Extract (unzip) all PHP4-Files (from http://www.php4win.de) into
c:\Apache\modules\mod_php4
- Edit php.ini in c:\Apache\modules\mod_php4 --
Change the line "extension=php_gd.dll" to ";extension=php_gd.dll"
This is to disable the GD module as it not very stable
- Copy php.ini c:\windows\system32, or to C:\windows
- Edit the file c:\Apache\conf\httpd.conf to include the following lines:
#---------------------------------------------------------
# THE PHP DIRECTORY STUFF
#---------------------------------------------------------
LoadModule php4_module modules/mod_php4/sapi/php4apache.dll
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php4 .php .phtml
AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps
OK, all files are setup up, now for the services:
I have added two Path to the Path-Enviroment
c:\Apache\modules and
c:\Apache\modules\mod_php4
- In Windows NT/2k, just right click on MY COMPUTER and look for "ENVIRONMENT"
- In Windows 9x, START-->RUN-->SYSEDIT, and modify the autoexec.bat to add these paths
HEHE!!!!!
