Php & Apache Server PHP Apache Server

[Binod Singh 0]

I want to install PHP. For this I have downloaded Apache Server. But I am not able to configure it. If anybody knows how to configure it, please let me know. Without Apache Server I am not able to configure PHP.I have also tried one of the installation file available on internet which automatically performs all installation tasks, but it also does not solve my problem.

Have you tried appserv, its was i use and it works really well. it comes with PHP 4.3.10,
Apache 1.3.33, MySQL 4.1.8, Zend Optimizer 2.5.7 and phpMyAdmin 2.6.1-rc2, and the install for it is really simple, check out the website at http://www.appservnetwork.com/en/, and if you choose it and need help with it dont hesitate to ask.

If you are having troubles with setting up your own home Apache server, I think getting one of those packages there are is a pretty good idea. There is XAMPP, phpdev and PHPTriad. There are probably more, but those are the ones I know of.

 

All of them are free and have Apache, MySQL and PHP packaged, XAMPP also has Perl. phpdev and PHPTriad are packages for Windows only, while XAMPP has packages for both Windows, Linux and even Solaris.

 

 

I have only used phpdev, but I think XAMPP sounds really good.

 

 

Edit: I know phpdev comes with phpMyAdmin as well, I assume the others have it as well.

Appserv is very useful (MySQL+PHP+PHPMyAdmin). Only press install button, you can get that you want and i use it.

you don't have to use apache to use php. Windows comes with software that will work with php. Just goto your control panel and add/remove windows components. Then install the thing called IIS. After that, you just download php's windows installer and everything is done for you.

 

http://php.net/downloads.php to download php windows installer. Choose php 5.0.3 installer under windows binaries section.

As long as you don't have Windows XP Home.

With all bugs and security holes of IIS, I recommand you to use a real webserver instead (like Apache).
