I went to the "httpd.conf" file, and added this:
# For PHP 5 do something like this:
LoadModule php5_module "C:\Program Files\PHP\php5apache2_2_4.dll"
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
# configure the path to php.ini
PHPIniDir "C:\Program Files\PHP"
and then ran the "<?php phpinfo(); ?>" script. It ran (correctly) in
my browser, but then an error message came up, shutting down apache. I
turned apache back on; the same thing happened again-- but this time,
when I tried to turn it back on, an error message came up, telling me
the operation couldn't be performed (wouldn't run apache). I restarted
my computer; Apache wouldn't start again (same error message).
I removed the added lines from the "httpd.conf" file, and restarted
everything. Everything ran fine; but when I re-added the "LoadModule
php5_module..." code, it wouldn't start apache. What's going on? And
what do I do now?
