Topic: Newby: Installing apache and PHP on windows 7.

[ppja4]

At the moment I am trying to get http://ajaxplorer.info/ in the air, but am getting a bit lost since I need php.
It did mention that apache was the prefered way to go.

I have a windows 7 machine.
I installed apache tomcat 7.0.37 (and a new jdk) and configured a user to check webapps.
I tried to install php-5.2.17, but it could not find httpd.conf an nor can I. So this needs to be configured by hand or reinstalled.

I am alsoo not sure whether I have to use 32/64 bit applications for apache, jdk, php etc.

It is alsoo not clear where (in which subdirectory) in apache this package should copied.

best regards,

Paul

P.S. I just saw another thread here that it should be moved to other software which I am going to search further.

Admin note: moved to Other Software.

You say: I installed apache tomcat 7.0.37

Did you install Apache also ? Or only Apache tomcat ?

I missed apache, I just installed tomcat,
I have by now tried a couple of other options:
1. xamp light portable
2. httpd-2.0.64-win32-x86-openssl-0.9.8o from this website.

I can start both and access them through internet explorer.
2. I do see a html file hosted (renamed to index2.html) if I then go into the directory I want to install, the index.php is not interpreted and I just see the directory and can open the php files.
1. I am able to run Apache (and MySQL), configured the package directory to open and am getting an error:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
-<tree><message type="ERROR">session_start(): open(..\tmp\sess_85c6c4982003b679295749b13bf22b88, O_RDWR) failed: No such file or directory (2)</message></tree>
I think this is a part succes, but I probably am still missing some permissions somewhere.

httpd.conf relavant parts:
DocumentRoot "C:/Users/kromppjd/appdata/local/file_webserver/ajaxplorer-core-4.2.3"
<Directory />
AllowOverride none
Require all denied
</Directory>
<Directory "C:/Users/kromppjd/appdata/local/file_webserver/ajaxplorer-core-4.2.3">
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
</Directory>

runTests.php is running and giving some errors, which I am going to try to solve, but that means the server is working correctly.

it all seems to be working, still some warnings, nothing major.
