the Apache "httpd.conf" file is located in "C:\Program Files\
Apache Software Foundation\Apache2. 2\conf\" and PHP is installed
in "C:\Program Files\PHP\" where the php.ini is also located.
Please clarify which file should be placed where, and what do
you mean by "as well as the php extension"?

Im no longer on Windows (moved to Ubuntu some years back) but I thought
that php wasnt to be installed under Program Files as it had something
to do with the split between Program and Files in the name.
Well, for my own machines, I put php at C:\php.
Then put this in your apache.conf
# For PHP 5 do something like this:
LoadModule php5_module "c:/php/php5apache2 .dll"
AddType application/ x-httpd-php .php
# configure the path to php.ini
PHPIniDir "C:/php"
After that, create a file called phpinfo.php
and in the file put
<?php
phpinfo();
?>
Put it in your root directory and when you access it, if you cant see it then
there is still a problem.

Hello Wade,
Many thanks for your guidance. By the way, it is exactly the same route I want
to travel which you described above. I am slowly migrating my operations to
Ubuntu 8.04 which I began using about 3 weeks ago.
I finally figured out my mistakes. I negated (;) all the .dll calls in PHP.ini
and re-enabled only those that I knew for sure that were needed for Apache,
MySQL, PHP, and some others that were noted by PHPAdmin as required.
Checked the Apache error log file after a restart and it is clean. I placed
the index.php in the root directory and the PHP configuration report is
displayed in Firefox.
Thanks to all and wish everyone a nice summer,
