Not sure what i did wrong. I choosed apache like you sugested unknown, and chris so ya know. N also i installed perl so all are installed but am clueless what to do next or if i need to worry bout the errors i showed in the image. Thank you

Alright, I will help you set up your apache configureation file.

Please go into your apache folder, the into the conf folder. Open up httpd.conf and print what is in it here. I will then alter it for you so that php and perl can be used in apache.

Here is the link to the httpd.conf file as you asked.:

Thank you for your help.

I just need 1 more thing from you.

What is your php's path?

For instance my php's directory is this:
C:/Apache/Apache2/php/

I just need to know that and then both php and perl will be working.

[morr0lan]

It's C:\php  is the folder, but can change it if need be.

[Chris Cromer]

No, you can leave the directory the way it is.

http://www.agigames.com/httpd.conf

Just replace your current config file with this one. Then php and perl should work in your apache install.

Tell me after you downloaded it, then I will delete the file.

Also if apache is already running, restart it after you overwrite it for the changes to take effect.

[morr0lan]

Ok did the changes (copied all text you had in the file then pasted over the httpd file i had n tried to restart but got this error.



Sorry for all the trouble by the way and thank you for your help.

Looks like you already have the server running.  Try restarting your computer....

And, should it really be 0.0.0.0:80?  I would use 127.0.0.1...

I only added the php/perl stuff to it... I didn't touch the port/host stuff.

I think [unknown] is correct though, if it couldn't write to the logs another copy of apache might be running and using the log files.

So shut down apache then start it up.

Thank you guys so much, it worked perfectly. Now that this is running, what would i do to load yabbse on my puter so i could convert from a yabb sp1 board I have now, and once yabbse is installed as a board on my puter/server what would i then need to do to convert the yabb sp1 board, also I have the converter program already. Thank u, using yabb 1.5.1 also

Pretend your computer is the server.

'Upload' (copy) the files to an internet accessable directory, and then use http://localhost/etcetc/ to access it.

Download all the files from your YaBB board, and then run the converter from your computer.  When it's done, you will need to either....

1. Download phpMyAdmin and use it to get a dump.
2. Use mysqldump to get a dump.

I will explain both (some people don't like command utilities...) when you get to that point.

sorry to sound not so bright, but internet accessible directory? If i copy all the files to say c:\junk n used that how would i make it internet accesible? Please and thank you.

Heh.... I was kinda vague because I don't know how to do that with apache.
