I've searched the forums and can't find my specific problem, so here goes. I'm new to this, so please be patient and explain in detail.

I'm running Windows XP, using Apache, and trying to host my own site from my PC. I'm only doing this to learn how to us PostNuke, so that I'll be able to use it when working with other sites. I've tried to follow the numerous instructions, and I think I've got it started off right, but here is my first big problem.

When I try to do, http://localhost/install.php it shows me the file, but doesn't execute anything.

Sounds like you might be missing PHP. Have you downloaded it and installed it on your system?

I thought so, maybe I've missed something. I first tried the automatic installer. It said I needed to manually set the httpd.conf file, so I added this:

LoadModule php4_module "c:/php/sapi/php4apache2.dll"
AddType application/x-httpd-PHP .php

For some reason, the installer didn't have a "SAPI" folder, so I downloaded the zipped file, and combined the two files (only overwriting the "Install.txt" and "php.exe")

So now I have a "SAPI" folder. Now when I try to go to http://localhost/install.php I get a 404 error message. Did I mention I'm new? :) Thanks in advanced for any help.

Can you produce a phpinfo() report, and host it somewhere? Once you've done that, provide the link here for us to look at it.

How do I do that?

Open up Notepad, type this in:



Save this file somewhere your webserver can see it, calling it "phpinfo.php".

Then go to your browser and open up the file. If your localhost is 127.0.0.1, then enter 127.0.0.1/phpinfo.php

Save this page, and place it somewhere on the net and provide the link to it here. That way we can see what is going on with your PHP installation.
