Topic: How to do a Standard Install ?

[max-21]

Installer .... httpd-2.2.19-win32-x86-openssl-0.9.8r.msi

Zip ........... php-5.2.17-Win32-VC6-x86.zip

I lost my working install days ago because I wanted re-install XP and take it all from the top. After four days I could not get it installed again so I gave up and went for the standard files above. I think I need to understand these first. The kind of thing that can get you hired ... than I'll go back to the Manual-Install. It seems that even standard install is not easy as many web-pages and doc's say.

OK, while installing PHP, Apache will restart at all the way down to STEP (4). where I get ... Error: The requested operation has failed!

My question is starting with STEP (4), what am I'm missing or doing wrong.


STEP (1)
Apache OFF.
in Apache.conf = DocumentRoot C:/wwwroot
in Apache.conf = <Directory "C:/wwwroot">

STEP (2)
in System - Add this to end of path line ;C:\PHP
in php.conf - extension_dir = "C:\php\ext"
copy/change php.ini-dist to php.ini and place it in C:\Windows

STEP (3)
(1) From php copy “php5apache2_2.dll”.....to system32
(3) From php copy "php5ts.dll".................to system32
(4) From php copy "php_mysql.dll".......to system32
(5) From php copy "libmysql.dll"...........to system32

STEP (4)
in Apache.conf add to bottom of LoadModule
LoadModule php5_module c:/php/php5apache2_2.dll

PHPIniDir "C:/Windows"

STEP (5)
in Apache.conf add to bottom of <addtypes>:
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php

Sorry about this thread. I can't beleive I wasted all of this time over a typo. .. I had PHPIniDir "C:/PHP" and not PHPIniDir "C:/Windows". Anyway, at lease I now know what I in for. One more mistake down the line would drive me completly nuts.
