Does Windows give you a solution? I doubt it.

Can you run the Apache server with the -X flag and see what output you
get on the command line when you recreate the error?

I am a programmer and know PHP but I don't know anything about Apache.

I assume you mean to go to the start menu just to start up software to
display some particular file, but don't know how to tell if a file is
the bat file that starts up apache.

Edit it to what? What do I look for and what do I change it to?

Where's that?

I guess that's c:\Program Files\EasyPHP 2.0b1

How do I do that?

I now how to do that.

Same as you would on linux.

Goto the start menu and look at the bat file that starts up apache, then
then edit it.

Go to a command line, go to the apache program directory (maybe \program
files\apache 2?)

Then run apache2 -X

You will have to stop apache before doing this.

I don't mean to offend you, but if you don't know CS 101,
you'd better ask your system administrator.
If you _are_ the system administrator, try to make
yourself more comfortable with basic system
administration.
In my humble opinion a PHP programmer who develops dynamic
websites has to be aware of the platform he is developing
for (or be comfortable with a hacked site).

In this case: stop the apache service.
Then choose Start menu: Run
in the Open: textbox type
CMD (enter)

CD to the directory where you installed apache, for
example:
cd /d "C:\Program Files\Apache2" (enter)
then type:
bin\apache -X (enter)
or
bin\httpd -X (enter)
to see error messages.

There may be events in your Windows event log, and it also
pays off to check the apache errorlog. Assuming you
installed Apache in C:\Program Files\Apache2 , the
errorlog can be found in C:\Program Files\Apache2\logs .

How could a PHP programmer not know CS 101? That's Apache 101 - no, I
don't.

I need help once or twice a year. Better to give it to the experts
than to learn something myself that I use so rarely. Besides,
technology's too complex to not specialize.

Speaking of which: I isolated the PHP code to an infinite (recursive)
stack, as in function abc() { return abc() ; } ;
I will repost as how to not crash when it occurs.

Nothing there.

I installed Easy PHP.

Thanks,

P.

BTW I wrote a 200 page book on how to optimize applications software,
especially database applications, a few years ago. It was pretty
popular - about 10,000 copies sold over a 10 year period. It was
listed as the only advanced book on the subject in the publisher's
catalog - among a bunch of introductory and intermediate texts. So I
guess it wasn't CS 101 afer all.

You mean you apologize for estimating me? Accepted.

Yes, as always. It does have the PHPMYADMIN for MySQL, but I haven't
tried it out yet - will do.

Going to a command line doesn't have much to do with
apache. But let's get to business

Ok, it seems you have apache and php, but mysql is
missing.

If EasyPHP installs MySQL, try copying the LIBMYSQL.dll
into the .....\apache\bin directory
and try again.

If EasyPHP doesn't come with MySQL, but you still want to
use it, you could uninstall EasyPHP and install XAMPP,
which usually runs out of the box.
http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp.html

Also, there is more discussion about XAMPP in
alt.apache.configuration than about EasyPHP, so using
XAMPP might increase the amount of feedback you get.

That is to be expected. I mentioned both apache and httpd
because it depends on the distribution how the executable
is called.

We can do that once we know that's necessary.

Ok.

I don't know what installpaths EasyPHP uses for Apache.
Probably something like :
C:\Program Files\EasyPHP 2.0b1\apache

Then the program is
C:\Program Files\EasyPHP 2.0b1\apache\bin\apache.exe
and the errorlog is
C:\Program Files\EasyPHP 2.0b1\apache\logs\error.log

But the message from bin\apache -X is enough for now.
