Hi - Newbie Question. Trying to configure Apache to run PHP
|
|
| domh_789 2005-12-15, 10:28 am |
| I recently bought the SAMS Teach Yourself PHP, apache and MySQL 2nd Ed. book.
It comes with:
PHP 5.0.2
MySQL 4.0.21
Apache 2.0.52
Running on Win XP home.
Following the instructions to the letter, I succesfully installed MySQL and Apache. Checked the apache service was running OK.
For the life of me I cannot get the PHP up and running.
The book states I should first alter the httpd.conf file to include:
LoadModule php5_module c:/php5/php5apache2.dll
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .phtml . html
And rename and move php.ini-recommended to php.ini to c:\windows
And move php5ts.dll to c:\windows\system32
Restarted the apache service - no problem
But when I creat a test page 'phpinfo.php' and save in the htdocs directory I get the message 'HTTP 404 - File not found'
Help please! Has anyone else encountered this problem, I'm sure it's easily rectified, but being new to it all I'm struggling!
Thanks in advance,
Dom | |
