This section contains notes and hints specific to Apache 2.0.x installs of PHP on Microsoft Windows systems. We also have instructions and notes for Apache 1.3.x users on a separate page. You should read the manual installation steps first! &warn.apache2.compat; You are highly encouraged to take a look at the Apache Documentation to get a basic understanding of the Apache 2.0.x Server. Also consider to read the Windows specific notes for Apache 2.0.x before reading on here. &install.snippet.apache2.compat; Apache 2.0.x is designed to run on Windows NT 4.0, Windows 2000 or Windows XP. At this time, support for Windows 9x is incomplete. Apache 2.0.x is not expected to work on those platforms at this time. Download the most recent version of Apache 2.0.x and a fitting PHP version. Follow the Manual Installation Steps and come back to go on with the integration of PHP and Apache. There are two ways to set up PHP to work with Apache 2.0.x on Windows. One is to use the CGI binary the other is to use the Apache module DLL. In either case you need to edit your &httpd.conf; to configure Apache to work with PHP and then restart the server. ¬e.apache.slashes; You need to insert these three lines to your Apache &httpd.conf; configuration file to set up the CGI binary: &warn.install.cgi; You need to insert these two lines to your Apache &httpd.conf; configuration file to set up the PHP module for Apache 2.0: Remember to substitute the c:/php/ for your actual path to PHP in the above examples. Take care to use either php4apache2.dll or php5apache2.dll in your LoadModule directive and not php4apache.dll or php5apache.dll as the latter ones are designed to run with Apache 1.3.x. If you want to use content negotiation, read related FAQ. Don't mix up your installation with DLL files from different PHP versions. You have the only choice to use the DLL's and extensions that ship with your downloaded PHP version.
