[ciapug] Compatibility[?] issue: apache2.2.2/php4.4.2/winxp

[Jane Swanson]

I confess I'm a stealth member of this list.  I went to a few group meetings years ago, but nothing since.  I do nothing dramatic w/ PHP, but have done some simple stuff incl mySQL. I save your hints.

Been using PHP 4.3.1 on apache 1.2.34 on my win2k laptop.  Now,  am trying to install PHP 4.4.2 & apache 2.2.2 on my newer XP machine.  Replaced XP-home with pro to be able to proceed.

Are these versions incompatible?  I'm trying to load PHP as a module.  Apache works by itself.  MySQL loads its admin screen [I haven't tried any of that]. PHP shows the phpinfo html codes when I run php -i from the command prompt.  But...

When I edit the apache httpd.conf file to add 
LoadModule php4_module        "c:/php/php4apache2.dll"   [from the install instr]  or
LoadModule php4_module        modules/libphp4.so  [from http://us3.php.net/manual/en/faq.installation.php#faq.installation.phpini]

apache will not load.  Message  "The requested operation has failed!".  Without the LoadModule line, the browser doesn't know what to do with the php file, ie, save or select a program. 

The install instructions talk about apache 2.0.x, but also say to use the latest versions.  Am I doing something incredibly stupid?  Or is there somewhere else I should be looking for assistance.  Ouch! Ouch! [head against the wall!]

Thanks for your help.
Jane
