Problem installing PHP on Apache server

Hi,

I am trying to install Apache and PHP. I have installed apache fine
where I can type in http://localhost and it displays the default Apache
page.

When trying to install PHP I have run the installer file which seemed
to go OK. It is when configure the Apache httpd.conf file that I get
the problem. I have updated the ScriptAlias to read:


ScriptAlias /php/ "C:/Program Files/PHP/"


And added the following lines:


Action application/x-httpd-php "/php/php.exe"
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php


...as instructed by the tutorial I was reading.

To test PHP, I have created a phpinfo() page called index.php inside
the htdocs folder in Apache. When I try to access the file it give the
following 404 error:


Not Found

The requested URL /php/php.exe/index.php was not found on this server.



Any ideas?

Cheers

Yeah, install PHP as Apache module :-)

Well, where have I gone wrong in doing this? When installing PHP I
selected Apache as the server software.

You do not need this alias here.

Type here the real path to your php.exe i.e.:
Action application/x-httpd-php "C:/Program
Files/PHP/php.exe"

-------------------------------------------------------
Try this: SCA the Smart Class Archive for PHP
http://www.project-sca.org
-------------------------------------------------------

Unzip the php into a folder called c:\php5

add these lines to your httpd.conf

LoadModule php5_module "c:/php5/php5apache2.dll"
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
PHPIniDir "C:/php5"

copy all the *.dll files form php5 into the directory where apache.exe
is located or into the system32 directory.

uncomment any of the ;extension=* in your php.ini like php_mysql

change the extension_dir = to extension_dir = "c:\php5\ext\"

restart apache.

oh yea, remove the Action ... from httpd.conf
