Installing PHP, Apache 2.2.10 on Windows Vista

Question

I am trying to get PHP working on my vista home machine but I am getting weird problems. First I had file permission problems for which I disabled Vista's UAC. Now I can't get the PHP interpreter working.

I have made all the necessary changes following some tutorial but I still can't get it working.

Tutorial was located here: http://www.tanguay.info/wamp/installPhp5.php5

Answer 1

Try XAMPP . I use that at home on a Vista machine and it worked nicely after the install.

Answer 2

WAMPServer is also a good option. You can easily enable/disable both PHP extensions and Apache 2 modules. Everything is set up somewhat securely (only local access to the serve), and you get phpMyAdmin already set up.

Only thing I've ever missed is Memcached, but that is fairly easy to set up on your own.

Answer 3

The only problem I have installing PHP and Apache on Vista is that you need to make sure that when you edit the httpd.conf that you are editing it as an admin, otherwise the file is saved in compatibility mode.

To overcome that problem just type notepad++ or whatever in your start menu, right click the item and run as administrator. Then open the file from the app.

Answer 4

You can use FastCGI for IIS 7. I'm using this also and it works perfectly!!

FastCGI

Answer 5

You can try Zend Core

It works on both IIS and Apache (it includes the installation of the Apache)

Answer 6

iis7是最好的Web服务器之一，尤其是对于php而言，如果无法使其正常工作，则意味着您需要使用足够的Google，因为将php / apache问题归咎于Vista是不合逻辑的
