Topic: configuration error trying to open php file in browser

[Merel]

Hi, I'm sorry for posting a probably very simple question, but I couldn't find it anywhere.

I'm trying to get php and mysql running on an Apache server on my own computer, to view my php pages there.
-The server is running properly,
-the php works
-and I've succesfully loaded mod_fcgid.
But php pages won't open in my browser. It says there's a config problem and I haven't got a clue what it is. I've followed the steps in "A Fast, Reliable and Proven Setup :: Apache PHP MySQL Perl" and added the mod_fcgid config lines, not the ones for php as a module. I've made sure to put everything in C:\ to make sure there wouldn't be any path problems.

I'm using the files from this site and php links from that post:
apache: httpd-2.4.6-win32-VC14
php: 5.6.14-win32-VC11-x86
mod_fcgid-2.3.9-win32-VC14

My machine is 64 bit, but I've tried this thing with 64 bit versions of the above, too, with the exact same result, so I thought 32 bit versions would work better....

Could anyone help me figure out what to look for?

Thanks!
Merel

Strange that it works local and not from outside, or do I not understand you correct ?

Non php pages ok ?

Anything in the the apache error.log and/or php.log ?

You wrote: It says there's a config problem
What exact message you get in the browser ?

What changes made you in httpd.conf for php ?

You wrote: httpd-2.4.6-win32-VC14 , looks a typo and it is 2.4.16.

PHP files don't work, both local or outside.

The error message in the browser:
"Internal Server Error

The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.

Please contact the server administrator at admin@example.com to inform them of the time this error occurred, and the actions you performed just before this error.

More information about this error may be available in the server error log."

Yes, the apache file is a typo, it was 16 like you wrote.

and html files work fine, it's only php, so it must be something I did wrong with the config for mod fcgid? is it maybe a problem that I have VC11 and VC14 files? But there aren't any VC14 php files I think.

Should I send an error log? Which part?

These are the lines I added to the http.conf, but they're copied from the post, so I can't figure out what would be wrong, even the paths are correct:

Also the simple script goes wrong:

<?php

phpinfo();

?>


Better to use PHP 7 wich is VC14. It is at the QA tab at windows.php.net.

Thank you so very much for the VC14 link, it works now! Now I don't feel so very dumb after all, all of the settings were correct!

Thanks again, you made my day!
