Apache 2.0.46 with XP setup

Hi
I've just installed Apache in XP so I can start to experiment with
MySQL and PHP.
The service monitor says that the status is ok.
However, should the browser display something (other than the "Cannot
find Server" page!) when I type in http:localhost or http:127.0.0.1/
????

Sorry to trouble you with this trivial question.

try using http://127.0.0.1 not http:127.0.0.1

You should be able to use the executable for PHP,It is better and less
buggy and hole lot more easy to setup,and it alows the deguger in
phpedit.net to work faster if you use this program,which happens to be
the best php programming tool

In the event you are sure you need a module version of php, pay very
close attention to you php.ini file for the directories
"extension_dir" and "doc_root" You will need to make sure they match
your config.

And don't forget to move the dll php4ts.dll to your windows/system32
directory

TOG wrote a tutorial on how to set this up which was on
www.apachelounge.com I think however the site seems to be down from here

And remeber to reboot,unless you know how to register them other ways

-_-;
Try removeing the line of php, and see if apache works,
Probaly, i had some problems with php to, try reinstalling php with a
difrent version, work for me.

For Apache 2, you need the module php4apache2.dll.
Change your loadmodule line into

LoadModule php4_module c:/php/sapi/php4apache2.dll

Did you also add the line
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
to your apache config file?

The green triangle indicates that Apache is running as a service on
your machine (so you do not need to type "apache" into the command
line). You also do not need to type anything into the Apache Monitor,
but you can use it to stop/restart or start Apache again.

Try typing http://localhost (without the trailing slash) or
http://127.0.0.1 to see if they work (you should just be able to click
these links and the browser should open to the requested page).

Also, check your Apache error logs for any indication of why the page
may not be served.

If you get the dll issue straightened out and still have a problem
connecting, try using http://localhost:8080 or http://127.0.0.1:8080 to
connect to the server. If your installation is listening to a different
port than 8080, use that instead.

This worked for me.

Good luck,
