Yes, certainly, to the first question, and no to the second. I went over httpd.conf very carefully a couple of times to make sure nothing else in the file refers to PHP 4 or to an old directory.

I simply copy all needed DLLs to my system32 directory, so there's no need to add anything to my system paths. Also, I went over php.ini with ExamDiff to make sure I wouldn't miss any changes; the "extensions" directory is properly set. > Otherwise consult the updated install.txt for more information As I said, the installation instructions haven't changed much. Mostly, it seems that PHP5 was simply substituted for PHP4 in the text. There's even a bit about it not being safe to use PHP as a module because it's "new", which is later contradicted by the statement "Now that version 4.1 introduces a safer sapi module, we recommend that you configure PHP as a module in Apache". I'm not complaining because of course these instructions are provided free of charge etc, but you can't really rely on them as being accurate for the latest release of PHP.
