Topic: Help installing

[mathman]

HI,
I have been trying to install apache on my computer. I am in the bin directory. I tried httpd.exe -k install, I also tried httpd -k install.
All I get are errors.
If you want the error info here it is:


Suggestion [3,General]: The command httpd was not found, but does exist in the current location. Windows PowerShell does not load commands from the current location by default. If you trust this command, instead type: ".\httpd". See "get-help about_Command_Precedence" for more details.


I also just checked http.conf for different drive. I am installing on the E:/.


PS E:\apache24\bin> httpd
httpd : The term 'httpd' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program. Check
the spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try again.
At line:1 char:1
+ httpd
+ ~~~~~
+ CategoryInfo : ObjectNotFound: (httpd:String) [], CommandNotFoundException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : CommandNotFoundException

I am installing on the E:/ because I am in the process of reinstalling Win 10 and 11. E: drive is a secondary drive where I can keep most things still runng in case it happens again.

It is fixed.

I am back to having a running version of apache. In the services area I cannot start apache. And yet is I type in localhost it works. So I need some help with this.
Thanks

HI,
I am putting here a portion of the httpd.conf there looks like I might have a problem with my httpd.conf php file.

I am getting an errror message on the line that says LoadModule line.
AddHandler application/x-httpd-php .php
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .html
LoadModule php8_module "E:\php8\php8apache2_4.dll"
PHPIniDir "E:\php8"
DirectoryIndex index.php

Hi Mathman:

As many on this site will tell you, best to use Mod_FCGId instead of the PHP module/dll.

Here is an article that will get you started.

For more help, search this site for mod_fcgid.

Cheers!

I have used the PHP module since 2005 with no problems. It is right on line 21 of the config file...

I would try front slashes, like so.

LoadModule php8_module "E:/php8/php8apache2_4.dll"



"# NOTE: Where filenames are specified, you must use forward slashes
# instead of backslashes (e.g., "c:/apache" instead of "c:\apache").
# If a drive letter is omitted, the drive on which httpd.exe is located
# will be used by default. It is recommended that you always supply
# an explicit drive letter in absolute paths to avoid confusion."
