Did you tell apache to use the php_module and what to do with php
extensions ? Is your php.ini correct and in the correct place ?
(See the PHP install readme for details on how to)

Save yourself much trouble.
Install XAMPP.
http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp.html
xampp contains apache, PHP, MySQL, and some other related
open-source packages.
XAMPP is the best solution to developing web content on a Windows
box where the intended target platform for actual hosting is a
Unix host.

| I have installed PHP v5.0.3 and apache 2.0.53 on my Windows XP system
and am trying to cofigure PHP as a Module. I tried following the
Documentation on PHP.net
(http://us2.php.net/manual/en/instal...ows.apache2.php) but I didn't
find the php5apache2.dll as the doc was expecting me to set
LoadModule php5_module "c:/php/php5apache2.dll"
But there is a php5ts.dll, so I just set the LoadModule ot point ot it.
Now apache will not start :o(
What am I doing wrong? Please help.

I also recommend using a package. It will save you all the trouble
and isolates you from detail that you really don’t need to know. I
use appserv.

| Thanx.
"appserv" (http://www.appservnetwork.com/) seems like a Windows only
solution. I need to the same on Linux. What would be a comparable
solution there?

Manzoor,
Why don't you have a php5apache2.dll module? This is the one you need
to load, as per the documentation, and it exists on my system.
Check to ensure you downloaded the correct file.
