Good Morning Everybody!
i would like to ask you guys a couple of questions, I have had so much trouble with intsalling PHP on my PC, finally, I decided to install first PHPEdit program which installs Apache, PHP adn PHPEdit all together.
well, looks like I`ve got everything installed but, I don`t know how to run a test on PHP, I just wanna make sure it`s working properly.
I guess, you can call me dummy but all i want is just to install PHP and make my own professional website. To be honest, it`s been my plan, and i would say my dream for sometime to build website.
ok, here is what i have so far on my PC and know a little bit how to work with them, Micromedia Flash, HTML, MySQL, Apache, Abyss server.
Could you please help me out on this? if I be specific,
when I install PHP, it asked local host smtp address, and e-mail address
I think i did put it right but it still can not configure out itself:
"due to some problem with IIS or blah blah
you need to manually set up"

i have no idea what it`s talking about
I really need your help at this moment or else I am totally lost
will be lost unless you guys show the way out of darkness :)

Thank you very much
and May God Bless you!

oh by the way, when I installed PHP on Apache
this is the message I get
" Sorry the software configure the Apache
httpd.conf. file has not yet been written
you will have configure Apache manually
see install.txt for more info"

Apache is so difficult..
I just wonder why I can`t install PHP on my Abyss Web Server
I have it running.
I know you might give me the link again.. I followed that.. it is still not doing anything, or maybe I am not testing right?
and other thing is if I get PHP running properly, should I keep my computer on all the time in order to access my webserver?
so, basicly if I turn my webserver off nobody can access my website , am I right? :roll:

Ok here's why its not working , when it gave you a list of different web servers , You should choose other and not apache their for since you choose apache, PHP is going to only work with Apache , please choose other when installing PHP , Abyss is not an Apache type web server.


Web Site design is also my dream Punk 8)

Thanx os17fan,
I think I installed it just like you mentioned but, it said that I should change
configuration setting on my Abyss server manually.
I followed these steps on this link http://www.aprelium.com/abyssws/php.html
I was just wondering if there was a way to find out wheather my PHP working
properly, cause I don`t even know how to write program on PHP, if I am honest with you. That`s ok, this is gonna be my next big step, once I install it that crazy boy on my machine, you will see how crazy and fast it will run. :lol:
I really appreciate any comments or suggestions.
Please give me all the help you have out there.

Thanx

If you would like to check if PHP is running , create a file called info.php in a text editor using this code

Code:
<?php
  phpinfo();
?>


After your done creating the file , link to it in your browser and you should see a page with all kinds of tables and information.

I think you should uninstall everything that has to do with Apache and also uninstall PHP again and reinstall it the way I told you to and everything will run fine 8)

Install PHP as said in http://www.aprelium.com/abyssws/php.html . When asked about the type of the server, choose the last option (I will configure my server manually).

Then, and as os17fan said, open your notepad and copy the following:
Code:
<?php
  phpinfo();
?>

Save the file as phpinfo.php in the htdocs subdirectory (you'll find it in the Abyss Web Server directory).

Next, browse http://127.0.0.1/phpinfo.php .

1. I saved <?php phpinfo(); ?> as you said in htdocs
file name " phpinfo.php"
when I open with IE browser it opens just like what you see in the notepad
by the way, on IE it opens as "txt" file not php
uh.... :cry:

I know it`s difficult but I am not gonna give up..

Here is another way I like to do it. open your notepad and enter this in
php phpinfo.php > C:\Abyss\php-bin\phpinfo.html
start "C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplorer.exe" C:\Abyss\php-bin\phpinfo.html . Save it as phpinfo.cmd.
I am assuming that you have create the phpinfo.php file, and your php program is in your windows system path. You should also change the abyss path in "phpinfo.cmd" file. Next open DOS window and type in phpinfo.cmd then hit the enter key. IE will open page that contains every thing about your php info.

Apart from the REDIRECT_STATUS that is declared with a tariling space (you should remove it), everything is fine.
Please tell us how did you tried to browse phpinfo.php and what did you get?
