help setting up Apache/php

[mjkramer21]

i've got a fresh installation of apache and php and i'm having some difficulties setting them up. i'm trying to include the php module for the apache config file but apache isn't being able to locate it in the specified path that i offer.

i've traced my path and the module name a few times and everything looks ok.

i'm using apache 2.2 and php 5 on an XP system.

thanks

i found the answer.

just incase someone else comes across this problem in the future (it appears to be a frequently documented problem.) i'll post the solution here.

to call the module from the apache config file, insert this, and it must be at the top of the document:

# PHP 5 Support
LoadModule php5_module "c:/php5/php5apache2_2.dll"
LoadFile C:/php5/php5ts.dll
<Files "*.php">
AddHandler application/x-httpd-php .php
</Files>
PHPIniDir "C:/php5"

then scroll down to where there's a property called DirectoryIndex = in a ifModule[]

and insert this:

DirectoryIndex = "index.php".

Lot's of people have been having this problem with php5 and apache 2.2.
