A few notes..... First, uninstall Apache and delete all of your PHP directory. Re-install Apache. It works right out of the box,just specify localhost for the domain name. Make sure you choose to install it as a service for all users. Start Apache. Open your browser and point it to 127.0.0.1 or just localhost to verify that Apache is running if it is, proceed with the PHP installation. I would suggest downloading the PHP binary and not the installer. Unzip the files to c:\php. If your using WinZip, extract using folders. Since you're setting up a working site, I'll go over the module installation. In the http.conf file, add the following lines in the appropriate places: LoadModule php4_module "C:/php/sapi/php4apache.dll" AddModule mod_php4.c AddType application/x-httpd-php .php (plus any other extensions you want to use) AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps (optional) Now, place your test file (just use <? phpinfo(); ?>) in your htdocs folder and restart Apache. Point your browser to http://localhost/info.php (or whatever). You should now have your baseline system up and running. Now you can customize your directories and PHP options. Post back and let me know if this has helped, and good luck!
