an error when trying to set up php5 with apache server

apache, php5, cannot remove module mod_php5.c: not found in module list

[furtivefelon]

hi, i'm trying to set up php5 as a module within apache 1.3, when i tried to put in these into the httpd.config.

LoadModule php5_module c:/php/php5apache.dll
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
AddModule mod_php5.c
SetEnv PHPRC C:/php

but when i tried to test the config, it returns this error:
cannot remove module mod_php5.c: not found in module list

can someone help me figure out what i'm doing wrong? i tried installer, but it can't config the apache, i'm using Win XP pro..

try to configure it in the following way:

• put the LoadModule after the rest of the LoadModule directives (somewhere around line 200)
  
• put the AddModule after the rest of the AddModule directives (just after the LoadModule directives, take care that it is behind the ClearModuleList directive). usually you need to put the AddModule in the same order as the LoadModule directive.
  

The position of the other directives aren't significant, and the SetEnv directive you need only if you've placed it there on purpose (so you know why it is there)

yes! that's done.. i have one more question.. how do you know if you have successfully set up php in Apache? and also where do you suppose to put your script? i tried to put it inside c:/Inetpub/wwwroot (the default windows IIS folder), but when i tried to access the file, it gave me a message saying that the file cannot be found..

Thanks for helping me!

put them in the same folder where your server config or your virtualhost are pointing to. if you've set up apache to serve files from the /inetpub/www then your php script should be executed properly.
