PHP

[Mr_J]

I`m currently running Vista Home Premium SP1 and try to install PHP5 & Apache
2.0
Allot of errors when starting up, .dll files missing or invalid etc. So I
tried to install WAMP5. The installation was fine but again, when the app
start I get all the errors again!!
Is this maybe a compatibility issue?
I want to install this for php script testing.
Any help will be gr8

Hi, Jaco.

PS. I`m signed up with a bunch of forums with no answers...

Most of them "slurp" messages from these Microsoft public newsgroups (also
known as Microsoft Communities or discussion groups), so your post is
probably already shown in many of those forums. Now you'll have to go sign
in to each of those forums to see if there are any responses - UNLESS each
forum also relays any responses from there back to the MS server.

I can't help with your actual problem because I have no idea what PHP is and
you didn't spell it out.

It's a scripting language webmasters would know about. All those
annoying vBulletin board forums are written in PHP.

It's likely that the apps are having trouble with Permissions. Rightclick
the setup exe file, and 'run as administrator'

More specifically, web developers.

That's a massive understatement. Loads and loads of dynamic websites use
PHP server side scripting. Amazon, eBay, Facebook, loads and loads of
others. Most blogs use PHP. The vast majority of dynamic sites. Most CMS
systems too, which lots of websites are made with these days.

Hi,

Maybe the following articles may help you:

Install Apache on Windows Vista (Updated):

http://senese.wordpress.com/2007/06/06/installing-apache-on-windows-vista/

PS: The author also uses Home Premium.

Install PHP under Apache and Vista:

http://senese.wordpress.com/2007/06/06/install-php-5-under-apache-22-and-windows-vista/

PS: Use manual instead of installer.

You can find additional installation-related information from PHP.net:

http://tw2.php.net/manual/en/faq.installation.php#faq.installation.apache2

This will be a perfect opportunity for Open Source advocates come to assist,
but where are they?

Hope this helps and good luck.

No problem at all and hope it helps.

I was talking about some Open Source advocates who frequently visit this
newsgroup and thought they should have given you some help too.

It's a platform-related question so no worries.

Good luck.

Try uninstalling all known versions of MySQL, Apache and PHP on your PC and
then re-load WAMP. WAMP will load the latest version of each.
