Unless you have a good reason, there's no need to specify doc_root. On
Windows, for the ext directory, you'll want to use backslashes (doesn't
work with forward for me), and leave a trailing backslash as well. Like
Hendri Kurniawan suggested, restart apache so that the php module will
be loaded into apache.
