I installed apache using the msi installer..into the D: driver because i have fedora is on the C: drive so i cant install any thing on it from windows, i'm saying so because drive C: seems to have a significant importance while installing apache..don't know why !!!!

any way after installing apache on drive D:\program files\apache software foundation\apache 2.2

whenever i start apache service i get an error...tried to run httpd.exe manually from the cmd console and i got that apache cant find php5_module, error on line xxx in httpd.conf

i tried so many things to fix the problem..it really made me Exclamation Mad Mad Exclamation
but now i un-installed apache and decided to start fresh again..undid the changes i made including modifying\adding system variables

i tried
so guys would you please help me out here..link me..write me tips..any thing will help, but please keep in mind that I don't know any thing about apache but that its a web server and that I'll have to learn how to install php and mysql afterwards, because in the end all I want to do is to install forums, CMSs such joomla..etc just to learn the most i can about them

thank u all

You did you setup PHP in httpd.conf? Where did you download php?

yes i added few lines to the httpd.conf file

Quote:
Loadmodule php5_module "D:/php/php5apache2.dll"

and two more lines to define the application type for php and phps

the php installation i have is just files to copy/paste..its nothing automated

still didnt work..is there a step by step tutorial to setup apache ?..i searched but it seems that people get lucky while installing apache and things go fine !!

if i install apache using the msi installer and try to run it immediately without any php installation or any thing..will it run ?
am confused..just what are the first steps to install apache, php and mysql ?

There are quite good tutorials here in the forum How-to's & Documentation & Tips.

First setup Apache without php and see it is running fine.

Btw. when you are running Apache 2.2.x then you have to use php5apache2_2.dll
