I have installed XAMPP with no problems. Apache, MySQL is operating and PHP is set to PHP5. When I try to load any PHP file or HTML file with any PHP code the PHP code is ignored. If I go to the http://localhost and try to run the PHP postscript examples I receive Fatal error and told that the file cannot be located. The files are where they should be. I am totally new to LAMP and trying to learn with three books and two online tutorials, but I first have to get a LAMP system working.
I am running XP Pro service pack 2. I tried doing an individual Apache, MySQL, PHP download and install. When I did this I get similar results. The "LoadModule php5_module C:/php/php5apache2.dll" could never be found no matter what I tried. I have removed all three of these separate programs an now have only XAMPP on my system. Does anyone have any idea how to solve this problem I have spend more than 30 hour trying to find the answer myself.
