PHP and Apache 2.0 on Windows
Consider to read the
Windows specific notes for Apache 2.0.
| Warning |
Apache 2.0 is designed
to run on Windows NT 4.0, Windows 2000 or Windows
XP. At this time, support for Windows 9x is incomplete.
Apache 2.0 is not expected to work on those platforms
at this time. |
Download the most recent version of
Apache
2.0 and a fitting PHP version from the above mentioned places.
Follow the Manual Installation Steps and come back to go
on with the integration of PHP and Apache.
There are two ways to set up PHP to work with Apache 2.0 on Windows. One is to use the CGI binary the other is
to use the Apache module DLL. In either case you need to
stop the Apache server, and edit your httpd.conf to configure Apache to work with PHP.
You need to insert these three lines to your Apache
httpd.conf configuration file to set up the CGI binary:
Example 3-7. PHP and Apache 2.0 as CGI
ScriptAlias /php/ "c:/php/"
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
Action application/x-httpd-php "/php/php.exe" |
|
If you would like to use PHP as a module in Apache 2.0, be sure to move php4ts.dll for PHP 4, or php5ts.dll for PHP 5, to winnt/system32 (for Windows NT/2000) or windows/system32 (for Windows XP), overwriting any older file. You need to insert these two lines
to your Apache httpd.conf configuration file to set up the PHP-Module for Apache 2.0:
Example 3-8. PHP and Apache 2.0 as Module
; For PHP 4 do something like this:
LoadModule php4_module "c:/php/sapi/php4apache2.dll"
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
; For PHP 5 do something like this:
LoadModule php5_module "c:/php/sapi/php5apache2.dll"
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php |
|
Note: Remember to substitute the c:/php/ for your actual path to PHP in the above examples. Take care to use either php4apache2.dll or php5apache2.dll in your LoadModule directive and notphp4apache.dll or php5apache.dll as the latter ones are designed to run with Apache 1.3.x.
| Warning |
Don't mix up your installation
with dll files from different
PHP versions . You have the only choice to use the dll's and extensions that ship with your
downloaded PHP version. |
