Configure Apache with PHP
First of all, change the permissions of the htdocs folder so users can write to it. That way you can edit files there. Also, when using Apache 2.2, in httpd.conf, paste this in at the bottom of the file: LoadModule php5_module "c:/php/php5apache2_2.dll" AddType application/x-httpd-php .php PHPIniDir "C:/php" Notice that it's php5apache2_2.dll, not php5apache2.dll. php5apache2.dll will make Apache fail to start.
