Mailing lists usually bottom post, so I'll put my comments there.

Thank you for your help. Actually, I can get a regular html page to
work, but when I try to use the page I get a blank
page. I have the directory set in my httpd.conf to my php install for
the dll's but also copied and put them in the system32 directory just in
case. I also put them in my apachie folder as well as a precautionary
measure.. to make sure I was not missing anything.


I'm on Windows 2000 pro and it's on a fat 32 file structure, hence the
system32 file. I actually have this version of Apachie on my home
computer using the same version of Windows and the same file structure
but I'm using php version 4 there and it works fine. I'm not using it
for anything but local development so this version of Apachie should
work. Is there anything else you need from me to help solve the problem?
I'm an ASP Microsoft SQL person who is just learning php, Apachie and
MySql so I'm sorry for the lack of information. Thanks again for your
help.

I do not use PHP on MS Windows, so I may be of limited help. Is this a new installation of Apache? If so, it is very old. I suggest you consider upgrading from V1.3.2. When you restart Apache, do you get any error messages?

When you say you have "..set my dll's to my system32..." the main PHP dll needs to be where you have specificed it in http.conf, that is, c:\php\php5apache.dll.

If you put an ordinary HTML file (not PHP), e.g. index.html into your document root of c:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache\htdocs then in your browser put in a URL of http://localhost/index.html does it display

properly? If it does not then Apache is not set up properly. You will need to tell us what you do get.

If it does then if you put in a file called phpinfo.php that contains "" into the same directory and use a URL of http://localhost/phpinfo.php in your browser then what do you get?

Basically you are not really giving us enough information of what you do

get. If you give us a bit more information we may be able to help more.

I wonder if it is a PHP 5 problem. A blank screen would indicate that the PHP module is being called, otherwise I would expect to see the actual contents of the phpinfo.php file shown. I don't use PHP 5 so I do not have experience of it, but I seem to remember problems such as this being mentioned. You could try searching at the archives to this list at http://marc.theaimsgroup.com or the bug database at http://bugs.php.net

An alternative is to try to install the same version of PHP 4 as you have presently working.

I notice as of 8th June there is a release candidate 3 for PHP 5 available. I wonder if you are trying this or an earlier version.

OK on the MS and SQL background. I'm originally assembler, then C under DOS then VB. Earning the bread remains either VB or PL/SQL and Oracle, though interests and some developments have been PHP under linux.

PS I had not noticed you replied privately. May we keep this on the list
then any solution found may be shared with others.
