    Installation Question

    I'm using Windows Server 2000 with Apache with a secondary hard drive
    which will contain the http information. Does php have to be installed
    in the http drive or the root windows directory?

      Try apachetriad, which is a software bundle consisting of Apache,PHP
      and MySql. All the scripts should allow you to configure
      to where you want to. I am pretty sure that php.ini file has to go
      into windows directory, and that htdocs
      will go where you install apache.

          You can put PHP wherever you want to. I'd strongly recommend to keep it out
          of the document root directory, though.

          Your PHP zip file should come with an install.txt. This has all the
          information you need to set up PHP with Apache. Except maybe: If you're
          running Apache 2.2, you'll have to get another server api dll,
          php(4|5|whateve r)_apache2.dll won't ruun with an Apache 2.2, you'll need
          php5_apache2_2. dll (should be packed as of 5.2.0)

              I'm sorry, could you be a little more clear? Document root directory? Do
              you mean the http root directory?

                  Hey, the Document root directory is the folder that contains the
                  webpages / webdata and is usually "apache/htdocs".
                  You should really try PHPTriad ( http://sourceforge.net/projects/phptriad/
                  ) since it`s an apache / php / mysql bundle or you may try XAMPP
                  ( http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp.html ) wich is basicly the
                  same thing.

                      Your question is a bit non-descriptive. The server has a server root
                      (where the binaries, configs etc reside) and a document root.
                      The document root (default name is htdocs I think, even on Windows) can
                      sit anywhere you like, the httpd.conf file should be modified if you
                      change it to a new location.

                      PHP can be installed where you want it, placing the PHP software inside
                      your document root is not recommended, to put it mildly.

                      Like others said, try one of the single-installation AMP packages if
                      this is a bit new/difficult material for you.

                      And, please do not top-post in usenet. Put your replies below the quoted
                      part of the previous message.
                      Thx
