PHP in Apache server

It's all explained nicely here: http://php.net/manual/en/install.windows.legacy.index.php#install.windows.legacy.apache2
Don't skip the note on that page (which has another link there, not here):

Note:
You should read the manual installation steps first!

Depending on your exact needs, you may find that a virtual machine can save you a lot of time.  I've had good experiences with the prepackaged Bitnami stacks.

Many thanks all.
Julian,

What should I put, right after

<IfModule mime_module>
...
</ifModule>

Select allOpen in new window

And I've created relevant Inbound rule on port 8080, but I've got

C:\setup\Apache httpd-2.4.23-x86-vc14\Apache24\bin>httpd
(OS 10048)Only one usage of each socket address (protocol/network address/port)
is normally permitted.  : AH00072: make_sock: could not bind to address [::]:808
0
(OS 10048)Only one usage of each socket address (protocol/network address/port)

8080
AH00451: no listening sockets available, shutting down
AH00015: Unable to open logs

Select allOpen in new window

I choose port 8081 and get

C:\setup\Apache httpd-2.4.23-x86-vc14\Apache24\bin>httpd
(OS 10048)Only one usage of each socket address (protocol/network address/port)
is normally permitted.  : AH00072: make_sock: could not bind to address [::]:443

Yes, IIS is running on this server

443 is the SSL port - this means that something (probably IIS) is using that port as well.

You should still be able to browse to

http://yourservername:8081

As Apache appears to be successfully listening on that port.

Again I ask why you need Apache on the same server as one running IIS?

To your last question, I do 're-use' the same server, for further deploying PHP pages by Apache. What to adjust, due to current 443 port conflict?

Why not load PHP on IIS - why set them both up on the server when it is just going to result in conflict.

What to adjust, due to current 443 port conflict?

This is not the right question - you can either ignore the error - if you are not going to use SSL - if you are and you are also using SSL on the IIS server then you don't have a solution - hence my original question about why you want to run two HTTP servers on a single box.

Why can you not use IIS to do what you want to?

I now use one Win 2012 server instead, which is not running any Web server. I get no response to this

C:\setup\Apache httpd-2.4.23-x86-vc14\Apache24\bin>httpd

why?

Are we starting from the begining now?

I have no idea why you are getting no response on Win2012 - you have not provided enough information to say what you have done.

You can Google the process I did and found this link
http://lifeofageekadmin.com/how-to-install-apache-2-4-mysql-and-php-on-windows-server-2012/

But if that does not go anywhere I am certain that there are other similar resources online that can take you through the process.

Maybe follow that and post back any specific issues you come across - the more information you provide the more we will be able to assist.

Given the parameters of the question have changed somewhat - you might want to consider closing this question off (if you don't succeed with the above) and opening another to get access to more experts. This thread has become TLDR which means your new issue will not be seen by anyone new to this thread.

Yes, I'm re-doing the same within Win 2012.

I've un-zipped these

Apache httpd-2.4.23-x86-vc14
php-5.6.24-Win32-VC11-x86

Select allOpen in new window

into c:\setup and then run

cd C:\setup\Apache httpd-2.4.23-x86-vc14\Apache24\bin
httpd

Select allOpen in new window

and have got no response.

Is there anything in the logs?

Did you follow the steps in the link I posted?

When you say there is nothing - do you mean
a) The command prompt returns immediately with nothing displayed on the screen

OR

b) The command prompt does NOT return and there is nothing on the screen.

If there are no errors then Apache will start and you won't see anything displayed on the screen. See screenshot below
 httpd is running - no output but the prompt has not returned - this is because httpd is successfully running in the foreground.

After running httpd - can you browse to the server from the server - on the SAME port you have configured in your httpd.conf

Within Windows, how to ensure relevant folder is pathed, and files can be picked up by server, when I call the relevant PHP file like

http://localhostname/PHPfile

Many thanks.
I've created the relevant alias for the folder inside which the .php file resides. But I cannot go to

http://win-q1a2sh6377h:8080/proj0/info5.php

while win-q1a2sh6377h is the server name. Here is what I've got

Need to see your httpd.conf file.

Hi Julian,
I sent you the file already.
