PHP is the problem, I have tried about 5 different websites's installation manuals to no avail. I have tried to do a manual installation I have downloaded PHP 4.3.9 and have unzipped it into C:/php Apache is installed in 'c:/program files/ apache group/apache2' I have changed the php.ini-recommended file to php.ini, then I have copied it with the php4ts.dll and php4apache2.dll and all the dll's from the dlls folder to both my system and system32 folders in the WINNT folder on the c:/ Before I have done this I have changed the following files in the php.ini file; Short_open_tag = on >off Magic_quotes_gpc = on>off Session.save_path = "c:/temp" (a temp folder was created on the c:) doc_root = "c:\Program Files\Apache Group\ Apache2\htdocs" extentions_dir = "C:\PHP\extentions" in the Apache httpd.conf.file DokumentRoot "C:/Program Files/Apache Group/Apache2/htdocs" <Directory "C:/Program Files/Apache Group/Apache2/htdocs"> DirectoryIndex index.html index.html.var index.php Loadmodule php4_module "C:/php/php4apache2.dll" (php4apache2.dll is in the php folder) .htaccess files AllowOverride All ScriptAlias /php/ "C:/php/" AddType application/X-httpd-php .php Action Application/x-httpd-php "/php/php.exe" Can any one help me from this night mare? -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
