PHP5 and Windows 7 RC. Any issues?

[RKramkowski]

Hi, I have been running Apache, PHP, MySQL, phpMyAdmin, and Wordpress on an XP system, I then migrated to Vista. All worked fine. I just upgraded to Win7 RC and installed the 32 bit version of Apache 2.2.11 (I'm running a quadcore 64 bit AMD system). Since not everything I listed above has a 64 bit version, I installed the 32 bit version of all - but only got as far as Apache and PHP (sort of).

To install on the Win7 system, I first installed Apache and verified that it is working. So far so good. I then installed PHP 5.2.9-2. Although it appears to be installed and integrated with Apache (I see it in the service monitor) when I try to run any PHP file, it just echoes back the PHP command. I used the standard <?php phpinfo(); ?>. Rather than seeing the info panel, I only see <?php phpinfo(); ?> echoed back to me. I installed and configured the same way I previously had for XP and Vista.

I've temporarily disabled UAC and also tried installing Apache from the command line as administrator (even though it installed and ran fine from the .msi file.

I've gone through all my .conf and .ini files with a fine tooth comb but cannot find a reason PHP doesn't appear to run under Win7 RC. Granted I put the newest versions of all on my Win7 machine. Under Vista I had been running Apache 2.2.6 and PHP 5.2.4.

I'm at my wits end with this one. Anyone have any ideas?

make sure your apache config file has these sections:

under modules:

# PHP CONFIG
LoadModule php5_module "C:/Program Files/PHP/php5apache2_2.dll"
PHPIniDir "C:/Program Files/PHP/"

inside this module: <IfModule mime_module> about line 372

	# PHP CONFIG
	AddType application/x-httpd-php .php

Got them all... as well as a few others. I even did a full clean install of everything. Same result.

Try installing one of the ready-to-use packages like xampp, wamp, or such, then copy their httpd.conf and php.ini to see the differences and spot any possible mistake.

Since 2 Windows Updates ago, Xampp and WampServer 2 won't work on my XP machine.

I did WAMP - no material diffferences in conf or ini files. On an off chance, I also installed older of versions of both Apache (2.2.6) and PHP (5.2.4) Still the same result. HTML files work fine - PHP is the problem.

So then I thought maybe IE8 might be the culprit. So I installed Forefox but the result was still the same.

I think I might try to find a Vista machine and try the same conf and ini files on that machine as is on the Win7 machine. I suspect it will work though.

I'm still at a loss as to where to look next in Windows 7.

phpDesigner choked up with the PHP install. I hope the PHP team gets a new Windows 7 version out soon.
