Hello Praveen and everybody, Sorry about the name confustion (Parveen only). 1. Here is my path variable. Take a look at last four env. variables. I am working on php2_2 and there were four of those .dll files, as mentioned in the environment variable. ########### C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator>set path Path=C:\Program Files\PHP\;C:\WINDOWS\system32;C:\WINDOWS;C:\WINDOWS\System32\Wb em;C:\Program Files\Intel\DMIX;C:\Program Files\Common Files\Roxio Shared\DLLSha red\;C:\Program Files\Common Files\Roxio Shared\10.0\DLLShared\;c:\Program Files \Microsoft SQL Server\90\Tools\binn\;*C:\Program Files\PHP\php5apache2_2_filter.d ll;C:\Program Files\PHP\php5apache2_2.dll;C:\Program Files\PHP\php5ts.dll;C:\Pro gram Files\PHP\php5apache_hooks.dll* ########### 2. My httpd.conf file has these lines ############ #BEGIN PHP INSTALLER EDITS - REMOVE ONLY ON UNINSTALL PHPIniDir "C:/Program Files/PHP/" LoadModule php5_module "C:/Program Files/PHP/php5apache2_2.dll" #END PHP INSTALLER EDITS - REMOVE ONLY ON UNINSTALL AddType applicaton/x-httpd-php .php ############ Although book mentions some other .dlls like; (pdflib.dll, gd2.dll, and impa.dll). But I did not find them in my PHP dir. 3. My test.php looks like and resides in htdocs dir. ########## <?php phpinfo() ?> ############## 4. In the PHP directory, I did not find any "php.ini.recommended or php.ini" file. The only file I found was "php" without any extension. However, I provided the extension and it is now "php.ini" instead of "php". 5. My httpd server works fine with .html files, which also reside in htdocs dir. It is still giving me 404 error for any .php file either test.php or any other .php extended file. I am sure it is configuration problem, but can not figure it out myself. Please help. thanks. vinay nagrik.
