Can't Configure PHP with Apache on Windows

Hi I have done everything as stated in the book, but when I want to
start Apache server Monitor I get the error The requested operation has
failled. I have installed MySQL first, then Apache, in order to
install PHP4, I have unzipped all of the files to a directory on C:/
then I have copied the php.ini file in WINDOWS, then I have copied
php4ts.dll into WINDOWS/system32. I have made amendments into the
conf.httpd as follows:

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

plus:

AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .phtml .html
AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps

Saved everything and when I start Apache Server I get the message "The
requested operation has failled"

Can someone help, thank you very much!
Sincerely
Alessandro

Place the php4ts.dll into c:\windows ... not system directory... just try
it.. I had no problem installing on mine even without moving dll files. Hope
this helps

Assuming this is Windows NT/2000/XP, check the application and system
logs for clues. Also the Apache error log.

I don't remember the exact details, but I remember that one or two of
the DLLs need to be in the path somewhere.

When I did my installation I made some notes in case I ever had to do it
again. This is what worked for me, hope it helps.


Installation of PHP 5.0.4 with Apache 2.0.53 on Windows Server 2003
-------------------------------------------------------------------

1. Download and install Apache web server 2.0.53

2. Download PHP [php-5.0.4-Win32.zip] and extract it to C:\PHP

3. Add C:\PHP to the Windows PATH environment variable

4. Rename php.ini-recommended to php.ini

5. Add the following lines to your Apache configuration file [httpd.conf],
and save.

#PHP Configuration Start
LoadModule php5_module "c:/php/php5apache2.dll"
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
PHPIniDir "C:/php/"
#PHP Configuration End

6. Restart the Apache Web Server

-------------------------------------------------------------------
You now have a working Windows Apache installation with PHP.
