PHP 5.2.17 Installation on windows 7 with Apache2.2

[scharlet]

Hi,

I have installed php5.2.17 (with installer) on windows 7 and I have Apache2.2.
"php5apache2_2.dll" file hasn't been created during the installation.
I added the file (and some additional files) to my PHP directory manually and then tried to add:

1. LoadModule php5_module "c:/PHP/php5apache2_2.dll"
2. AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
3. PHPIniDir "C:/PHP"

at my httpd.conf
it results with an error when I try to restart my Apache server (the error appears on lines 1 and 3)
and I can't restart the server.
when I try to execute my PHP file without adding lines 1 and 3 to httpd.conf
I get an error:
404 Not Found
"The requested URL /PHP/php-cgi.exe/a.php was not found on this server."

execution of perl scripts works fine.

Thanks,
Alona

This may be me sounding like a broken record when it comes to this issue but to be honest using WAMP/LAMP is seriously the easiest way to set up a server if you are having issues.

"Man's Gaming" the install by independently installing and configuring each package separately leads to a lot of problems and needless headache.

Unless you want to know the ins and outs of server setup you are better off with WAMP as it allows you to go from No Server to Development in almost no time flat.
