This is not really about Apache::ASP, but a more general Apache configuration issue. This is not the correct list for posting about general Apache configuration issues, but I will try to answer your questions for now... ( please try to find a better list for things like this in the future ) Yes, going to /manual/ should render documents from C:/Apache/htdocs/manual/ per the config you described. If there is a 404 error ( see browser/access_log), I would suspect the config to be overridden in some way, or C:/Apache/htdocs/manual/ to possibly not exist. If its a 403 error, then make sure things like like allow/deny rules are not getting in the way. 403 might also indicate a file permissions error, but this is less likely. About PHP running under Randy's distribution, I have no idea whether or not he compiled support for PHP in, and would not be surprised if PHP did not work. Try to see if there is a mod_php type dll included with the distribution for your use. BTW, as far as I know, Randy does not read this list, so you may not get a personal response from him about this.
