Windows server: Problem installing w/ Apache, MySQL and PHP

I am trying to get Moodle running using Windows Server 2003, Apache 2.2.22, MySQL 5.5.23 and PHP 5.4.1. I have all installed, and I am trying to get my PHP settings in the Apache httpd.conf file correct. All of the help documents I have found online refer to only the older versions (about 2 years back) and apparently the newer changes cause some syntax errors to occur when using the older help files.

Has anyone done a similar setup recently that can help me out with the syntax errors I am getting when trying to start the Apache server?

[cross posting on the forums on the Apache forums site as well]

Thanks in advance,
Jason

Hi Jason,

You need to modify the php.ini file found in the PHP main directory because, as you say, you need to modify the PHP settings.

What syntax errors are you getting?

What errors are you getting?

And is there a specific reason you chose to run Apache? IIS is already built into Windows Server - and fully integrated into the OS, so it does make sense to use IIS when you're running on the Windows OS. And yes, performance is fine under IIS. PHP + IIS do make a good combination on Windows.
