1. Installation of Apache
After installing apache (latest version 1.3.14), configure the httpd.conf file in the apacheconf directory as follows:
1.1 Find #ServerName new.host.name and change new.host.name Replace it with your own host name. If the host name is xman, change it to
ServerName xman
and remove the # in front.
1.2 Publish one of your folders:
If you want to publish your directory d:myweb, publish it as myweb, search for Alias in the httpd.conf file, and add
Alias /myweb " below d:/myweb"
Note that in Apache 1.3.14, the path in quotation marks is separated by "/" instead of "".
2. Install PHP:
2.1 Unzip php-4.0.4-Win32.zip (the latest version 4.0.4) to a directory on the hard disk, for example, to the d:php directory.
2.2 Move php4ts.dll in the php directory to the windows system directory such as (c:windowssystem).
2.3 Modify the apacheconfhttpd.conf file and add the following content:
LoadModule php4_module X:/php/sapi/php4apache.dll
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
where LoadModule and AddType All can be found by searching.
2.4 Copy the file php.ini-dist in the php (d:php) directory to the windows directory (c:windows) and rename it to php.ini.
Start apache.
In the startup window you can see the words
Apache/1.3.14 (Win32) PHP/4.0.4 running...
.
3 Test:
Edit the file helloworld.php as follows:
echo "Hello World!";
?>
After starting Apache, type in IE Enter: http://xman/myweb/helloworld.php
Seeing Hello World! means that you have successfully installed Apache + php.
The above Apache version is Apache1.3.14, and the php version is php4.0.4. Other versions may be a little different, but they are basically the same.
Win2000 is basically the same as win98, just put php4ts.dll under WINNTSYSTEM32. The rest can be installed by reference. When installed as a service, an error may occur during shutdown. Just change it to cgi mode.
