I'm working on Win 2000.Installed Apache +PHP as suggested by u, but on Starting the Server it shows the foll error: System cannot find the file specified: No installed service named "Apache2". Any tips will be welcome!!!! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-04-30 16:38:37] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Mike, the current docs mention all this, what's the problem? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-04-30 16:32:34] [EMAIL PROTECTED] In future, don't ask support questions here -- http://php.net/support ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-04-30 16:30:34] mike at yahoo dot com Ok, I created a text file in my htdocs <dir> to see if Apache was recognizing .php files. Called it phptest.php and inserted only the following... <? phpinfo(); ?> This is what is specified on a page I used as my instruction set for installing PHP to integrate with Apache. Here it is... http://www.zdnet.com.au/builder/architect/sdi/story/0,2000035062,20273988,00.htm No dice. Did not work. Next I copied the php4ts.dll file to the Apache/bin directory. Still no go. Finally added the line "AddModule mod_php4.c" to the AddModule section of the Apache http.conf file. Bingo! I typed in the url http://<MyDnsName>/phptest.php and got it to bring up the page. Seems like it is running now. Good luck! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-04-30 15:39:26] mike at yahoo dot com I read every single post on this board and tried every suggestion and several desperate measures of my own. Even tried the registry trick that was suggested on one of the posts by a fellow XP user. No cigar. None of the suggestions aided me in resolving the issue that leads to the error we are all trying to eliminate; "Cannot load c:\php\sapi\php4apache2.dll into server". I am running Windows XP, Apache 2.0.43 and Php 4.3.0. Now, suppossedly php4apache.dll should NOT work with Apache 2.x. That is what php4apache2.dll was written for. Guess what, I tried it and it worked for me. Is it working as it should? That is another story. I guess I'll find out soon enough. So, bottom line...do what the guy in the [October 23rd 2002 8:52 pm] post says if you have XP, and then try specifying the folowing in the Apache conf file... LoadModule php4_module x:\php\sapi\php4apache.dll AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .php3 .php4 .phtml May or may not work for you. To say this software is poorly documented and experimental is an understatement!
