Apache Friends Support Forum

When I downloaded the installer, I assumed that PHP would automatically be configured and ready to use on the Apache server. However, even though the apache installed fine, the PHP did not. Am I supposed to manually configure php to work, or did the installer just did not work? I am running on WINDOWS 2000 SPK 3; just in case that info was needed

However, even though the apache installed fine, the PHP did not.

Sure? The demopage is not working?

The apache start up page works fien, because that is a htm file; it is only php files that do not work

Ah, you did not talk about XAMPP?

OK , I un-installed, then re-installed. It works fine. EXCELLENT APPLICATION

Try entering just the drive letter e.g. D: you will need to press the space bar after to activate the button to continue, this will omit the apachefriends directory and instal into D:\XAMPP\
there was a problem way back with path settings unless it installed to \xampp so I have entered just the drive since and had no more problems with paths.
If you use either of the the zip installations you need to run the setup_xampp.bat file afterwards to register the installation path, the Windows installer should call the batch file automatically.
