Yes, you need to install into something like C:\php or C:\php5, and you also need to configure php.ini *and* httpd.conf (the Apache configuration file). All of this is documented in the PHP installation package. Start reading at line 854 of c:\php5\install.txt (or your equivalent), the line that reads "Apache 2.0.x on Microsoft Windows".

I have attempted this. Tried the Hello World PHP page. Looks like the PHP bit does not go through PHP because it does not display the message in the web page. That is, the PHP bit is not rendered to HTML. I viewed the Apache httpd.conf file and saw that the install did put some PHP settings in it: #BEGIN PHP INSTALLER EDITS - REMOVE ONLY ON UNINSTALL PHPIniDir "C:\\Program Files\\PHP\\" LoadModule php5_module "C:\\Program Files\\PHP\\php5apache2_2.dll" #END PHP INSTALLER EDITS - REMOVE ONLY ON UNINSTALL I used the PHP installer from the PHP web site. I installed it to the default as can be seen. Although I read somewhere that one should not install to the "Program Files" directory due to the space character in the folder name of "Program Files", I would thing that the double quotes around it would take care of that problem. So what am I doing wrong? Am I missing some directories which I need to add to the class path? Are there some DLL's which I need to register? Or do I need to uninstall and rather extract the PHP Zip package to a folder like "C:\PHP" with no space characters in file path? If an auto install on Apache 2.2.4 is not possible, why would there be a downloadable install file?
