Configuring Windows98 For Local Dev Page 4

• Familiarizing yourself with all of the httpd.conf file will help in configuring
  the server and will give a great overall understanding of how Apache works.
• Configure PHP:

1. Find the file php3-ini-dist in the “C:/php3” directory
2. Rename it to php3.ini
3. Load it in a text editor
4. Search for “extension_dir” (around line 100) in php3.ini and change
   this
   line to read:
   extension_dir = C:php3
5. Change the line (around 115) that reads
   ;extension=php3_mysql.dll
   to read
   extension=php3_mysql.dll
6. Change the line that reads (around 225)
   ;browscap = extra/browscap.ini
   to
   browscap = C:windowsbrowscap.ini
7. Place this file (php3.ini) in “C:windows”
8. Note above the removal of the “;” line – this is the comment
   tag for PHP, and must be removed in the above lines.
