Success story: Apache 2.0.40 + PHP 4.3.0 dev + Win 2000 +GD

[pandaNL]

I just want to share my experience in installing all of this stuff to my PC.

1. download and install Apache 2.0.40. Try to get MSI package, than you will not edit any config files on this stage.

link http://www.apache.org/dist/httpd/binaries/win32/

Test web server.

2. download and install PHP 4.3.0 dev because PHP 4.2.3 DOES NOT work with Apache 2.0.40 as a module php4apache2.dll,
only as CGI binary!
Save your time!

link http://snaps.php.net/

Test PHP by watching phpinfo().

3. uncomment in php.ini string with php_gd.dll. Make sure also that in php.ini you have a proper path for extension_dir. Under the path you mentioned in extension_dir you have to check whether you have php_gd.dll

you can get php_gd.dll either from http://www.php4win.de/ or http://php.weblogs.com/php_gd what is actually the same


if you receive the mistake that php_gd.dll can not be loaded try to put libsasl.dll into the same folder where php.exe is located.


4. everything should be allright now. everybody is happy

ps if not, be sure to read http://www.php.net/manual/en/install.windows.php

very helpful as this forum actually it self.

PHP 4.2.x does work with apache as a module you just need the php4apache2.dll from the snapshot and it all works great.
