You make a reference to 'the service' which suggests running on xp. I run
linux so I can't say how this affects you, but you should have a single
directory where all the scripts lives, and that directory must be configured
to execute the scripts, not serve them. It's all in the docs.

Hi,

I have the same problem on XP with SP2.
I am still trying to enalbe PHP 5.1.4 under Apache 2.0.55
and I am not sure where is the catch.
I modified httpd.conf and php.ini and I become full of daughts
What's wrong ?
(Or maybe there is no man jet, who resovled it anyway?)
