Col Day : Go to : "C:\Arquivos de programas\Apache Software Foundation\Apache2.2\conf" or the folder in your machine. Search for this file => httpd.conf Search for DocumentRoot "D:/webroot" put your work folder in my case D:/webroot. Search for this line and apply the same changes make in DocumentRoot # # This should be changed to whatever you set DocumentRoot to # <Directory "D:/webroot"> Search for DirectoryIndex, and add index.php to the list # # DirectoryIndex: sets the file that Apache will serve if a directory # is requested. # <IfModule dir_module> DirectoryIndex index.html index.php </IfModule> Add on the end of the file this lines : My php installation folder is D:/PHP/, change D:/PHP/ to your installation folder. #BEGIN PHP INSTALLER EDITS - REMOVE ONLY ON UNINSTALL PHPIniDir "D:/PHP/" # Php as Apache module LoadModule php5_module "D:/PHP/php5apache2_2.dll" Restart apache.

(yes I know!!!). I've had Apache running fine with my basic web site created using Serif's Webplus10 but wanted to experiment with PHP as I want an uploadable area on my website for my friends and family to submit video/photos. I've checked the install of PHP using php -v and I get the output that PHP 5.3.3 (cli) (built: Jul 21 2010 20:10:20) but when I try and go to the test.php file (below) I get an http 403 webiste requires you to log in. Error message. <html> <head> <title>PHP Test</title> </head> <body> <p>This is an HTML line <?php echo "<p>This is a PHP line</p>"; phpinfo(); ?> </body> </html> This is the text of the test.php file which I have plonked down in /apache/htdocs What have I missed? the Dummies book is quoting PHP 5.0.0 as the latest release so not too far away really. Thanks for your help. Cheers.
