Figured I'd post this as a full example since Google had this listed as a top link. The following was what I used:

ServerName 127.0.0.1
ServerAdmin webmaster@mysiteonline.org
DocumentRoot “C:/Apache/htdocs”
DirectoryIndex index.html index.htm index.shtml index.shtm index.php index.cgi
ErrorLog logs/error5.log
CustomLog logs/access5.log combined
SetEnv PHPRC C:/php5
ScriptAlias /php/ “c:/php5/”
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
Action application/x-httpd-php “/php/php-cgi.exe”

I found the AddHandler didn’t work. Figured I’d post this as a full example since Google had this listed as a top link.

I had to do some more fiddling to get everything running smoothly. Yes, you’re right. I had to do some more fiddling to get everything running smoothly.

Therefore, one would need to use the following parameter within their VirtualHost directives: SetEnv PHPRC --path_to_PHP5_php.ini_file-- If the person has not yet set their Listen directive in their httpd.conf file, by default it's 80, and on Windows (at least v1.3.29, yes I have to upgrade) it is commented out. Using your Listen 83 (or any other number) will render the default site (ala PHP4) unavailable. Also, access logs can be helpful, use the CustomLog directive for that.
