     You are highly encouraged to take a look at the
     <ulink url="&url.apache2.docs;">Apache Documentation</ulink> to get
     a basic understanding of the Apache 2.0.x Server. Also consider to
     read the <ulink url="&url.apache2.windows;">Windows specific
     notes</ulink> for Apache 2.0.x before reading on here.

      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.
     </para>
    </warning>
    <para>
     Download the most recent version of <ulink url= "&url.apache;">
     Apache 2.0.x</ulink> and a fitting PHP version.
     Follow the <link linkend="install.windows.manual">Manual Installation
     Steps</link> and come back to go on with the integration of PHP and Apache.
    </para>
    <para>
     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.

       Remember to substitute the <filename>c:/php/</filename> for your actual
       path to PHP in the above examples. Take care to use
       either <filename>php4apache2.dll</filename> or 
       <filename>php5apache2.dll</filename> in your LoadModule directive and
       <emphasis>not</emphasis> <filename>php4apache.dll</filename> or 
       <filename>php5apache.dll</filename> as the latter ones are designed to
       run with <link linkend="install.windows.apache1">Apache 1.3.x</link>.

       Don't mix up your installation with DLL files from
