Description:
------------
Those three php config lines you tell people to add to their httpd.conf
line won't work unless they are put there in their correct category:

"After you've set up the file layout properly, you're ready to finally
configure Apache to load the PHP4 module. Just add the following lines
to your httpd.conf:

   LoadModule php4_module c:/php/sapi/php4apache.dll
   AddModule mod_php4.c
   AddType application/x-httpd-php .php"

I tried this without success, but when I added the LoadModule line to
the LoadModule part of httpd.conf, AddModule to the AddModule part of
httpd.conf and AddType to the AddType part of httpd.conf everything
worked fine.

apache did not know what to do whith .php files using your guide.

Thanks.

Please indicate the server used and its version. 
 
Your observations are incorrect for Apache 1.3.x in 
Solaris 7 and 8, SuSe 8.2 and Red Hat 7.1. In all those 
platforms and the indicated server, the position where you 
put the lines is not relevant for a stand-alone server (no 
virtual hosts, etc.). 
 
I don't have a Windows box around so I cannot test on that 
OS. 

Server used:
Apache (apache_1.3.28-win32-x86-no_src.msi)
Windows XP workstation, fully patched.

On Windows 2K Sp4 Apache 1.3.28 PHP 4.3.3

You need to put the path for LoadModule like this
LoadModule php4_module "c:/php/sapi/php4apache.dll"

And you must move the AddType line in the right section of the
httpd.conf

But this is only for the windows users.

apache 1.3.28, php4.3.3
Can't test on WinXP, but the following is true for win2k:

at the end of httpd.conf:

  LoadModule php4_module d:/php/sapi/php4apache.dll
  AddModule mod_php4.c
  AddType application/x-httpd-php .php

This works regardless of the AddModule directive is used or not.
So I can confirm Jesus findigs true also for Windows. I can't imagine
there is a really important difference between win2k and xp running
apache ;-)

By the way: please read
http://www.php.net/manual/en/install.apache.php#install.apache.windows
carefully, these docs refer to the right sections, so where did you get
your information?

So this is bogus. 
Please ask support questions on the mailing lists.
