Step 8 - Install Apache2 Handler

To use PHP 4 with Apache 2.2 you need to use an updated Apache2 Handler Module, and have the Visual C++ runtime components installed. This isn't as onerous as it sounds and won't take you more than a few minutes to do.

You should have downloaded the Visual C++ Redistributable at the start of this guide (either from the Apache Lounge web site, or as part of the CorePHP Bundle). This file is called vcredist_x86-sp1.exe. If you downloaded the CorePHP Bundle, you'll find the file inside the corephp_wamp_bundle_v1.zip file.

1) Double click vcredist_x86-sp1.exe.

2) The Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable will run, install the files it requires and then exit silently.

3) You also downloaded the Apache2 Handler for PHP 4.4.7 created by the talented guys over at the Apache Lounge. This file is called php4apache2.dll-php4.4.x.zip. Unzip it to a folder on your PC. If you downloaded the CorePHP Bundle instead then you'll already have the files unzipped as they were included with the Visual C++ runtime above.

4) Copy the php4apache2.dll into C:\php\php-4.4.7-Win32:

5) Copy the httpd.exe.manifest into C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Apache2.2\bin:

Now we'll configure the httpd.conf.
