Hi this worked for me on winwos 2000 apache2 and php2

I have Windows 2000 on my system. I have installed Apache 2 and it seems to 
work fine, when I test it, it goes to the 'localhost' dir.

 PHP was 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"

SetEnv Phrpc C:/php8
