file to automatically install httpd.conf

.....

i got some questions and this should be the last if i can get answers :p

ok when installnig it will say "enter the adress of your SMTP server(what is that?)

then a email.. do i use my email? er what.. ?

ok i just continued clicking to see what would happen.. it says:

"sorry, the software to automatically configure the apache httpd.conf file has not yet been written. you will have to configure apache manually. See the php readme file for more details

help me out here man, youve been a good help so far so just keep goin :p

thanks.
 
now you'll not need to enter a SMtp server, only email and domain and the server's name.

Enter your email address for the email, localhost for the domain and for server;s name its your own choice, but without space.
 
thanks, but

the last msg u said there.. please clerify that up a little bit, rather confusing...

and what is smtp?
 
dood..

it still gives me that same error...

it says i need a file to update httpd.conf er whatever..
 
Are you installing PHP? Because those are the exact question the PHP installer asks. You can easly add the PHP lines yourself.

SMTP server is for sending outgoing mail, provided by your ISP or some email provider.
 
i didnt get angry at him

i was angry because it wasnt working .. not at him in any way

im sorry if u thought that..
 
If you still get error, their is something else. The asp,cgi,apache package. All is in this package.
Get it here :-
ftp://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/pub/oth...n32-bin-0.7.exe

extract it, and move perl , openssl, and apache folder to C: ....
to get #!usr/bin/perl for cgi, just rename the perl folder to usr.
Then open the autoexec.bat and type this :-

SET PATH= C:\usr\bin;C:\openssl\bin
The text in bold must be changed to whatever you renamed the folder to.......
Restart your system here.

Then open ms-dos ... browse the apache folder ..
cd apache .. you may know these simple ones.

Then type apache -i -n "Apache" this will installe apache as a service.
type apache -n "Apache" -k Start
to stop apache -n "Apache" -k Stop
to restart apache -n "Apache" -k restart

...... .................................................................... ..................
In this you will have to edit the httpd.conf manually if you want to change the server's admin email address, host name etc etc.

By default your cgi files may run in folder

C:\apache\cgi-bin
and asp :
C:\apache\asp
and your root folder is :
C:\apache\httpd

Grab a windows binary version of php and extract it to c:\php
and then open httpd.conf in notepad and find the following :-


# For example, the PHP 3.x module (not part of the Apache distribution - see
# http://www.php.net) will typically use:
#
#AddType application/x-httpd-php3 .php3
#AddType application/x-httpd-php3-source .phps
#
# And for PHP 4.x, use:
#
#AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
#AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps

AddType application/x-tar .tgz


and add the following after it :-


# For example, the PHP 3.x module (not part of the Apache distribution - see
# http://www.php.net) will typically use:
#
#AddType application/x-httpd-php3 .php3
#AddType application/x-httpd-php3-source .phps
#
# And for PHP 4.x, use:
#
#AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
#AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps

AddType application/x-tar .tgz

ScriptAlias /php/ "c:/php/"
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .php3 .phtml .phps
Action application/x-httpd-php "/php/php.exe"

this will add .php, .php3, .phtml, .phps for php extensions.
Then resstart your apache.

And you have done :D
