I find it best to put it in the bin directory of the apache installation or in the same directory apache is located. Just my personal preference.

if you have an autoexec.bat file, edit that using notepad (or your preferred editor). then just add that line, preferrably at the end of the file. it won’t matter if there are other stuff already on the file as long as that command is executed.

autoexec.bat is a file that is automatically run whenever you boot into windows. mura’g startup menu bah, only it’s run early in the boot process.

%PATH% is a system variable that contains the current PATH of the system. the PATH is list of folders that the system looks for whenever you run a program. by, putting the line SET PATH=%PATH%;c:\php, you want the system to add c:\php in the PATH - this is so apache can find the php .dll without you copying it in c:\windows\system32

should be safe generally. i’ve done this a lot of times without any glitches. ntfs is the recommended filesystem for windows since it’s more secure (has file permissions support) and it’s more efficient in allocating disk space.

no problem shane. you may also want to join the cdo linux user’s group (http://cdo.linux.org.ph). we just started last february, it’s basically a technical support group to help people who are using free/open-source software. hope to see you there.

SET PATH=%PATH%;C:\Php - unsa ning %PATH%? pareho ra ning autoexec.bat ug autoexec.cam? naa na may entry didto daan? sa next line nako ibutang?

wala ko kasabot anang last 2 nga ibutang.. aha na pangitaon?

pasensya na gyud.. kay wala gyud koy hanaw aning mga butanga.. hehehe

thanks for the info matt.. try nako ug install ang apache + php.. mangutana lang dayon ko kung dili magwork..
