I have followed this tutorial, but i got to place that i can’t find the PHP 5.2.3, i spent almost three days trying to firuge something out with PHP4 but never worked out.
I have installed Php 5.3.10 with apache2.2 and mysql and evrything work well.
all the confuguration went okay, i tred test.php and it worked well, but when i upload my website that i have done it on window Xp, i couldn’t connect to mysql when i hit connect on the webpage it gives me the http404 error, does anyone had this problem.
i was serching the net, i have a feeling that this is caused because i am using vista ultimate, so the code i different from php4.
code difference

i hope i will be able to fix, so i can continue doing my website.

Problems I had (I think 1 and 2 came from having a different .msi file than when you made the instructions and 3 just needs clarification for people like me):
1. I could not find all the dll’s you listed (I am going with the the included in the msi for the moment.

2. I did not have the file php.ini-recommended so I left the php.ini that was already there.

3. I was not sure where to put the 4 lines:
LoadModule php5_module “C:\php\php5apache2_2.dll”
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
AcceptPathInfo on
PHPIniDir “C:\php”
So I put the LoadModule at the end of the LoadModule statements; the AddType at the end of the AddType statements; and the other two lines at the very bottom.

4. AND THE BIGGEST PROBLEM — MS’s notepad appended .txt to test.php so it was test.php.txt and I spent 4 hours trying to figure out why everything seemed to look like it was working except I kept getting a 404. I dropped the .txt suffix and it worked as described.

Now to do my homework and hopefully get good file access. But that is another problem.

Thanks very much for the tutorial. I used your tutorial on apache to install apache and managed to get it running. I have used your php tutorial to try and install php.

When I try to load the http://localhost/test.php it asks me if I want to open the file or save it. I chose to open it and it shows me the php info code you told us to type in.

Could you please suggest what I could have done wrong.

It is my first time installing php as I have just decided to start learning php.
Thanks very much

Regards

Mike

This is the error:
“Not Found
The requested URL /AirAlliance/web/AirAllience/index.php was not found on this server.”

I was trying to run the sample, I’ve already set up the apache server and it says “It works”, now, i was trying to run the php info and an error message occured says, “Forbidden” or 403, or sometimes 404, please tell me what to do? i want to pulled my hair in my head, almost 2 nights that i am very frustrated…

Thank you so much! I have been struggling all day-using a book that I actually paid good money for. Your free advice was so much more useful!

I dont think WAMP is good to use, i prefer to do manually. It is much better and not that complicated
