What OS are you using? Windows? If so, why not consider getting a pre-built
solution and installing that.

yes, I do use Windows (XP).
I have installed MySQL and as well PHP. but it doesn't work.
the PHP file does load , but the syntax is ignored. the <? php ?>

I will try to do so as I get home and hope it will fix that problem.

Thank you once again.

Efry

You do not want to move htdocs, conf & logs directories. Just leave them
alone. You only need to change the 'DocumentRoot' to point where you
want to load your php scripts. You could just leave the 'DocumentRoot'
the default and put your scripts in htdocs.

Did you add these changes to your apache.conf:

- Add index.php to 'DirectoryIndex index.html index.html.var'
- Add these:
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps
- Add (I am on Windoze and run Apache2 so)
LoadModule php5_module "C:/php5.2/php5apache2.dll"
- I keep my PHP.ini in the PHP_Base_folder, so I configure to the PHP
ini:
PHPIniDir "C:/php5.2"
SetEnv PHPRC "C:/php5.2"

Take a look at this link:
http://www.tanguay.at/installPhp5.php5

Specifically items:
6. Configure PHP5 to Work with Apache
7. Test PHP5

Thanks in Advance...
