Hey guys,
I was asked to learn SQL for my employer. The book I'm starting in said that
I would need; a web server(Apache), so that it can access the PHP language.
In addition, I would need MySQL installed and PHP has to be able to
recognize MySQL.
So..
I downloaded :
apache_2.0.55-win32-x86-no_ssl (windows apache installer package)
mysql-essential-5.0.18-win32 (mySQL installer package)
php-5.1.1-installer (PHP installer package)
I installed apache i followed the directions exactly as on the site and then
tested it by typing http://localhost/ in to my browser and a page came up
that said it was installed.
Then, I installed MySQL. Then it said to test that MySQL was working
properly I would then open MySQL Command Line Client, simply enter the
password, and if the client allows access with no errors, that MySQL would
be working properly. .. There were no errors.
Lastly I installed the PHP. The instructions said that after installing PHP
that we would need to configure a few options to make PHP work. It then said
to edit the httpd.conf file. So i added these lines after the last line of
the config file:
ScriptAlias /php/ "c:/server/php/"
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
Action application/x-httpd-php "/php/php.exe"
Next it said to create a file in htdocs folder called phpinfo.php.Then to
open the file and place the following code within it:
<?PHP phpinfo(); ?>
Next to save and close the file then open IE and type
http://localhost/phpinfo.php in the bar. If i saw a certain page come up
that it worked. It didn't work but I followed all the instructions exactly
as stated. Any idea why?
Please Help,
Stephanie
