Well, this doesn't quite fit under this area, but I will put it here anyways.

I am trying to make my home PC like a local webserver for my own personal use (so I can play around with websites before putting them online), but I am having a problem.

I get this same error!

Ok, I am trying to get Apache working with PHP & MySQL on my Win. XP Pro PC. I have MySQL and Apache installed and working, and am working on getting PHP to work with Apache.

Ok, I downloaded PHP5 and extracted it to c:\php
I then moved the php.ini (the php.ini-recommended file, renamed to php.ini) file to c:\windows
I then opened php.ini and changed doc_root = to doc_root = C:\Program Files\WebServer\home\Apache2.2\htdocs and extension_dir = "./" to extension_dir = "C:\php\ext" and uncommented extension=php_mysqli.dll so I could use MySQL 5.
I opened C:\Program Files\WebServer\home\Apache2.2\conf\httpd.conf and added to the end

# add PHP5 as an apache module
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
LoadModule php5_module "c:/php/php5apache2.dll"
# configure the path to php.ini
PHPIniDir "C:/php"

I try to run Apache (which did work with its default settings after the install) and I get an error

I tried moving the libmysql.dll file to the c:\windows\system32 folder like some tutorials say, but the problem persists.

Does anybody know what I am doing wrong, or how to fix this.

I know that this sounds silly, but if I remember correct Apache wants the c:\ path with caps : C:\

BTW if you can't work this out check this :
