Installationguide for Apache, MySQL, PHP and RoR
December 6th, 2006
This morning I finished the new and improved version of my installation guide for Apache, MySQL, PHP, PHPMyAdmin and Ruby On Rails. I’ve put it online here (PDF). I hope it will be of some help to you. It’s based on a Windows environment and for now it’s available in Dutch. I will try to translate it to English soon. Keep checking my blog for updates. And feel free to leave a comment if you discovered an error in the guide or have a suggestion.

This morning i installed Apache, mySql and PHP5.2.0 according to your instructions from Dec 6th on a windows XP prof system.
All went wel with Apache and MySQL ( all tests passed)
After installing PHP 5.2.0 and adjusting the config files exactly as you described, I placed the phpinfo.php(syntax doublechecked) file in the webrootfolder together with a file called test.html
I opened my browser(IE6) and enterd http://localhost/
It shows the indexpage of Webroot with the above mentioned fils listed as links to click on.
Clicking the .html file it opens the page as it should be opened. However clicking the .php file opens the downloadwindow. after downloading the file it opens a webpage with the text as I typed in the phpinfo.php file.
Can you tell me where i went wrong?
Greets,

@ Ashwani:
I’m working on an English version of the installationguide at the moment. I hope it will be finished soon and then I will post it here on my blog so keep checking it:)
@Leo Codee:
It appears that Apache doesn’t recognize php files so it offers it to you as a download. Did you restart your Apache server? Perhaps you should restart your system as well. Or perhaps a typing error in your httpd.conf file where you instruct apache to read and send php to the php interpreter… Let me know if it works or not. I will run through the installationguide myself tomorrow to check for errors and stuff so keep checking back for updates:)
@Leo Codee:
The problem as you described in your comment can be solved by adding these lines to the httpd.conf configuration file of Apache:
Let me know if it works…
A new version with this code included will be online soon and it will also be translated in English. Keep checking back here for the updated versions very soon.
