Thanks Jamie, l've just done so but no success below is the msg l'm getting now:

Syntax error on line 960 of C:/Program Files/Apache Group/Apache2/conf/httpd.con
f:
LoadModule takes two arguments, a module name and the name of a shared object fi
le to load it from
Note the errors or messages above, and press the <ESC> key to exit. 18...

Insert below lines into the conf file:

LoadModule php5_module "C:/Program Files/Php/php5apache2.dll"
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php

Use "" - it is very important, as "Program Files" has a space in the name, and apache separates parameters by space sign.

Hope this will help...

hi,

I also had this problem and have tried many things including the above.

I tried as you suggested adding the quotation marks and it now gives another error similar to the original but now saying file does not exist.. ..it does.

any help is very welcome
