Have you done a PHPInfo? If you can't get this to work then you haven't
installed php correctly.
Create a page simply put this in it...
<?phpinfo();?>
Save the page to your root remembering to give it the php extension. I call
mine phpinfo.php. Once you've done that, see if you can access the page. I
personally prefer to use the isapi version of php (php5isapi.dll,
php5apache2.dll in your case) as this is loaded at the start rather than on
demand.
