PHP 5.0.0 Anyone tried installing it on Apache/WinXP?? by jren207 on 07-14-2004 at 07:39 PM

has anyone tried installing PHP 5.0.0 on WinXP running Apache?

I tried it and it won't work. PHP 4.x.x worked fine. For PHP 5.0.0, I created just the same directory structure as with PHP 4 (modules, sapi, uploadtemp...), configured the php.ini file like in PHP 4, added the LoadModule and AddType lines to the Apache httpd.conf and copied the same type of files as before to places like C:\WINDOWS, C:\WINDOWS\system32, etc..

But when I start up my PC, windows XP stops responding, then I get an error message saying "Apache has encountered and error and needs to close." I have to comment ( # ) the LoadModule line for php so that Apache will load, but no PHP :(

Can anyone help??

There could be some broken links to files from PHP4 or any incompatibilities between both.
Download latest Apache version, too.

Which version of Apache are you using?

I can't be sure, but I think I read somewhere that there are compatibility issues with PHP on Apache 2.

At http://php.net/install.apache2 there is some information. I've been running the latest versions of PHP4 and Apache2 for a while now and haven't had any problems. :-/

Wow, I had loads of problems.  Absolutely nothing seemed to work, I just got loads of errors when I tried.

* musicalmidget strokes Apache 1. :grin:

Hmm... :dodgy:

apache.org says "Apache 2.0.50 is the best available version" so I just downloaded that. :P

Maybe you tried some dodgy automatic installation... I set everything up manually.

I was trying PHP5 on version 2.0.50

I had verison 2.0.49 before reformatting my PC. (This version was working with PHP 4.x.x) I did that all manually, like what I did for PHP 5. I'm gonna try PHP4 on apache 2.0.50 and see if that works. (It may be a problem with 2.0.50)
