apache not processing PHP

    I've been at this for hours and can't figure it out. :rolleyes:

    I have apache 1.3 installed on an XP machine. It runs fine.
    I installed PHP5, it added these lines to my httpd.conf file:
    #BEGIN PHP INSTALLER EDITS - REMOVE ONLY ON UNINSTALL
    PHPIniDir "D:/Program Files/PHP/"
    LoadModule php5_module "D:/Program Files/PHP/php5apache.dll"
    #END PHP INSTALLER EDITS - REMOVE ONLY ON UNINSTALL
    Now apache won't restart, error is:
    Invalid command 'PHPIniDir', perhaps misspelled or defined by a module not included in the server configuration.

    I have googled the error and tried every fix suggested, but no luck!
    Maybe it's something simple, but I can't see it?

    I uninstalled PHP from d: and reinstalled to c:
    The installation updates the httpd.conf file to reflect the change to the c drive.
    But I get the same errors and apache won't start.

    I am getting no errors written to the log file.

    Try putting PHPIniDir after the LoadModue line. Apache doesn't know about the PHPIniDir command but PHP does.

    In the Apache on Windows instructions is has: 
    # Add to the end of the LoadModule section
LoadModule php5_module "C:/php/php5apache.dll"

# Add to the end of the AddModule section
AddModule mod_php5.c
    but no mention of PHPIniDir. If moving it doesn't work, you could try commenting it out.

    Another idea is to use XAMPP - it has Apache 2, PHP 5, MySQL, Filezilla and perl (and more). All configured and ready to go.

    By rearranging:
    LoadModule php5_module "C:/PHP/php5apache.dll"
    PHPIniDir "C:/PHP/"

    apache restarted.....but my php is not getting processed. Browser just writes out the PHP code.
    My head is fried!

    I'm surprised you didn't see this in the installation documentation:
    AddType application/x-httpd-php .php

    Apache needs to know that .php files are processed via php

    These are in the conf file already:
    AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
    AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps


    I uninstalled/reintalled PHP using php-5.2.5-win32-installer.msi
    While I had to comment out a lot of lines in php.ini as it wasn't finding dll's in the ext folder....(yes, I checked my environment PATH and it does point to the correct place)
    I am getting these errors in my apache error log file:
    Error in my_thread_global_end(): 3 threads didn't exit

    To be honest before you waste anymore time you better off just uninstalling everything and installing WAMP or something like suggest above. It will be all configured.

    if you are still having problems configuring it, try using XAMPP.
    it installs apache & php together, so there's no need for configuration.

    I hope you're getting paid for it.

    WAMP = 10 mins.
