RE: Empty web page

[Ralph Hulslander <rph@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

The problem was getting a blank web page.

The apparent cause (besides my ignorance) was when installing PHP 5.2.3 with
the installer (.msi) I had foolishly select all of the options to install.

The solution is to install the minimal default options.

Apparently things like extensions should only be installed when one knows
what they are doing!

There is a ton of info. on the configuration entries you need to make in
Apache and PHP to get them working together on both the Apache and PHP
websites. There are also a lot of good books for PHP which include
instructions for installing PHP, Apache and MySQL (if you think you don't
need MySQL, you should install it anyway, you will want it there eventually
and it's advisable to get the installs all done and working at the
beginning).

The key information to having the two components working together is a
number of entries in your httpd.conf and php.ini files. You can find most if
not all of the details here:

A brand new installation of PHP 5.2.3 Apache 2.2.4 on Windows 2003.

I used a .msi installer for both Apache and PHP.

When PHP was finished installing I got a message saying the configuration 
failed, need to configure manually.

Ok, fine, where/what do I need to do?

There is a PHP entry in the conf file and the mime file has entry for PHP.

I know nothing about PHP and less about Apache.

Thanks for any help.
