One of the biggest topics here at Apache Lounge is running PHP on
Apache. It is a topic that is constant and for some reason often
confused. Confused namely by varying ways to accomplish the same thing.
The following has been tested numerous times, and seems (at least so
far) to be easy to follow.Mr. Green
ExclamationIF YOU INSTALLED APACHE USING A MSI FILE THENExclamation
(otherwise skip down to CONTINUE section):
I have not tested Apache Software Foundation (ASF) MSI installation
applications lately, but the last time I tested the MSI FAILED to remove
to some things that can cause problems later on during the Un-Install
process. BEFORE you UN-INSTALL the MSI file, open a command prompt and
navigate to the BIN folder of Apache. Now, uninstall the service:
httpd -k uninstall
Now that the service is removed, uninstall Apache and then ALL PHP
entries (files [php5ts.dll and others depending on what each person has
done in the past] that you copied from where ever to where ever -
usually into the Windows\System32 folder).
ArrowCONTINUE:
Install the Microsoft VC++ Redistributable. The reason for this is
because it is NOT included in the latest versions of Windows; and
Steffen's builds are compiled using Microsoft Visual C++ 2005. The
Redistributable can be downloaded at the link below:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=32BC1BEE-A3F9-4C13-9C99-220B62A191EE&displaylang=en
Download httpd-2.2.2-win32-x86-ssl.zip from
http://www.apachelounge.com/download/
Unzip this ZIP file in a new folder called something like C:\Apache2.
Then, read the file named Read Me First !!.txt. It will tell you how to
setup the service for Apache. If you want or need ApacheMonitor you can
create shortcuts however you like. Before installing ANYTHING else,
ensure Apache will start. After you validate that Apache starts, stop it
before proceding.
If you are still with me, now download PHP 5.x from PHP.net you want
this file: php-5.x.xx-Win32.zip (where x relates to the latest stable
version number)
Extract the contents of this file and move the contents to where you
intend to use PHP such as C:\PHP5.
NEXT, overwrite the php5apache2.dll with Steffen's version - READ the
'ReadMe' file for possible changes:
php5apache2.dll-php5.1.x.zip from http://www.apachelounge.com/download/
Navigate to the PHP folder and edit the php.ini-recommended. FIND the
extension_dir directive and change so that it properly locates the EXT
folder:
extension_dir = "C:\php5\ext"
Save the file as php.ini.
Add the folder that you put the PHP files into in the PATH ENVIRONMENT
(System Properties | Advanced | Environment Variables | System variables
| Path).
Example:
Variable name: Path
Variable value: C:\php5;%SystemRoot%\system32;.....
DO NOT WORRY with coping files over to the Windows folders, the reason
for this to begin with is because Windows folder is already in the Path.
Since you have added the PHP folder to the Path you do not need to copy
or move files to the Windows folder. This will make upgrading PHP
simpler as well and allows you to keep PHP all together. To upgrade PHP
in the future, all you need to do is delete the contents of the PHP
folder, and then extract the contents of the new version into the PHP
folder.
Finally, this should be the last step, edit the Apache CONF file with:
LoadModule php5_module "c:/php5/php5apache2.dll"
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php-source .phps
# configure the path to php.ini
PHPIniDir "c:/php5"
This is how I put together WAMP, and I do it often (web application tester).
I hoped this helped.
