Question

I'm having trouble installing php-5.3.5-Win32-VC6-x86.msi on Windows XP, with Apache 2.2 webserver.
Php5 installation completed all fine, except giving this error message: "Error trying access the local web service. GetObject failed. You will need to manually configure the web server."
After manually adding the following lines at the bottom of httpd.conf file:
PHPIniDir "C:/php5/"
LoadModule php5_module "C:/php5/php5apache2_2.dll"
Apache service fails to restart.
What am I doing wrong here?

Answer 1

I suggest if you use WAMP, it will install Apache MySQL PHP for Windows and the best thing about this, it's completely automatic, I mean you don't need to add any manual lines of code to the file config.
Here is the link :

Note : Delete Apache and PHP that you installed before, then run wamp.
Good luck.

Hey kaushi, while this is better than most of the technical support questions we've seen in this forum I'm still inclined to say this falls under tech support instead of a legitimate Computer Science question. Just FYI.
