How will I configure my PHP and MySQL so that they can work with Apache server?
The versions that I use are
PHP 5.2.9
MySQL 6.0.8
Apache 2.2
I know that I have to configure the php.ini file. But what changes am I supposed to make?
Thanks in advance.

  • No. I need them for installing Moodle server. So I can't use xampp or any other thing.

  • FYI: MySQL doesn't have anything to do with Apache so you don't have to do any special configuration magic for them to work together.

It would help to know which OS you're using.

  1. You might want to install Apache first.
  2. When installing PHP, make sure you also install the "mysql" extension (and/or "mysqli").
  3. The PHP installer may ask you which server you're running -- select Apache 2.2.x
  4. The installer will add the appropriate settings to php.ini for you

Again, the above is assuming you're on Windows, and the installation varies on other OS'es. For example, on Ubuntu you'll likely have to "apt-get" the mysql extension.

AFAIK you can just take the installers and install them. That's it.

Everything works out of box
