Running PHP on Windows with Apache2

Question

I am new to PHP and have been trying to get a PHP application setup on Windows.

I have installed MySql5.1, Apache2.2 and PHP5.2.14 on Windows Server 2008. I can login into MySql no problem and I can run phpinfo from htdocs in apache and get the php config summary however whenever I copy in my application to htdocs and run it I get a blank page.

I have set my DirectyIndex in httpd to welcome.php but nothing .... any help troubleshooting would be great.

Did you spell `DirectoryIndex` correctly in your httpd.conf? Did you try hitting `welcome.php` directly? — Lee, Nov 28 '10 at 04:41
yep ..spelled correctly and yes did try directly. If phpinfo works does that mean apache is configured right? — abarr, Nov 28 '10 at 04:46

Make sure you turn on all error display in php.ini

error_reporting = E_ALL | E_STRICT

then see if the application still gives you a blank page. If it still does, then it maybe configuration error on apache/php. Since, you are able to display phpinfo i would say the configuration works. perhaps, there's an error on the application.
