Hi, any wisdom, or inspired ideas would be greatly valued on the second day trying to get this working. XP, SP2, out-of-the box install of WebServ-1.2.9.0_PHP-5.0.4.exe
Port 80 problem overcome, but now I am stumped on PHP. Apache2 is running. However PHP is not being parsed.
My file is test.php
<? phpinfo(); ?>
and displays only the literal code. I have tried .html files with PHP content and only the HTML is acted on.
I see many others have had similar problem, but, dissapointingly, what worked for them is not working for me.
My httpd.conf currently has this fragment, and the paths are accurate
#### PHP ###
#@@PHP4@@LoadModule php4_module "C:/WebServ/php/php4apache2.dll"
LoadModule php5_module "C:/WebServ/php/php5apache2.dll"
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
AddType application/x-httpd-php .html
AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps
PHPIniDir "C:/WebServ/php"
I have tried several php.ini files, making sure that I include the line
extension_dir = "c:/WebServ/php/ext"
The php.ini file is in C:/WebServ/php , though I have tried several other locations according to suggestions. This location is also in the Windows PATH.
There is one thing I am wondering about:
Why does the Windows task manager show two instances of Apache running? The Apache Service Monitor shows a service stauts for Apache and Apache2, though only Apache2 can be turned on.
There are no other installations or versions of Apache.exe on the machine.
Hoping for some helpful suggestions

To add to the above:
I can run PHP from the command line. In this mode I know it is finding the ini file as it reports missing extensions if there are any

Arrrrrrrgh
Sorted! What a stupid mistake. Somewhere along the line I stopped typing http://localhost/test.html and was just accessing the file from the Open File menu in the browser. Of course I was not using the web server at all. Duh....
