    i'm trying to load and edit a 'Gallery' website using apache and php, but can't seem to get php running with apache.
    atm, i'm trying apache 2.0 and php 4.3.9 which obviously isn't working for me...
    so, are there any two versions of each program that work well together under win xp?

    Try Apache 1.3 and PHP 4. I had them working fine together under Windows XP.

    What problems/errors are your encountering?

    Search for "triad" on sf.net and have a look at the first two results. There's loads of other packages out there like that.

    I had these very versions running together... I could paste the apache config that worked for me, but as luck would have it, I uninstalled apache and php about an hour ago. :/
    I recall it being a stupid problem though, where it tells you to add certain lines to your config, parts of the lines they give you are wrong, I can't quite remember... (look closely at the paths being used in those lines is about all I can remember of the problem/solution)
    But rest assured they do work together with some tinkering.

    Been using Xampp for a while now [on XP Home]. A class act - Apache, PHP, MySQL and a rake of utilities such as PhpMyAdmin.

    Well worth the download.

    Hey nick, Did you get this sorted?

    I'm having problems with php and apache under XP as well.

    Long story short, it can't find the php .dll. Every error message says "Apache cannot find [Path_to_dll]/php4apache.dll", yet the file is blatantly there.

    I had this working flawlessly before, but this is Service Pack 2, and I'm guessing that MS new "security" heads thought that allowing certain processes to access .dlls was a bad idea.

    Anyone heard of this?

    {EDIT:

    Found the problem, I was right. Windows XP SP2 doesn't allow the system account to access certain files, dlls being a big virus favourite.

    I created a new User called APACHE_USR with minimal rights, gave it control over my apache install folder, and told the Apache service to log in as that user.

    Works now. :)
