Hi all, (Hopefully I posted this in a place that can/will help me) I got curious about running php / apache on my own laptop in order to help my devl process, instead of writing, uploading and testing on my site. Found a nice pair of docs from "thesitewizard.com" that appeared to be pretty well-written instructions on installing each of these systems. btw- I'm running XpSp2. Chose the Apache 2.0 and PHP 5.2 (thread-safe?) per the recommendations. Went thru all instructions step-by-step, testing all the way. Apache works - PHP doesn't. When I bring up IE and type in localhost I get the default apache page as I was told I should see. When I type "localhost/test.php" I get a windows dialog asking what program should run the php script. In debugging I went to a cmd windows and ran "c:\php\php-cgi test.php" and got the expected result from my script - so PHP works. End result - they each work separately, but php is not working under apache. As part of the docs instructions I added the following code to the apache conf file: 1 - I chose the "configure apache to run php as an apache module. 2 - added "LoadModule php5_module "c:/php/php5apache2.dll" as last one of those lines 3 - added "AddType application/x-httpd-php .php" as the last of those lines 4 - added "PHPIniDir "c:/php" as the last line of the conf file. Upon adding these lines apache will no longer restart. In fact adding any ONE of these lines breaks Apache. Ideas welcome.
