The apache+php installation tutorial that worked for me

I have tried serveral times and spent many hours over the last 2 days to get php to work with apache. I have finally succeded in getting it to work and it was with this tutorial.

Some notes:

• I used apache version 2.0.58 instead of 2.2.2.
  
• I am running windows xp on my laptop.
  
• I used localhost both for network domain and server name.
  
• Also, I took their tip and installed apache under C:\apache instead of the default c:\program files\apache group. I am just not comfortable with the spaces in the directory path.
  
• In the tutorial it says to change AllowOverride setting from None to All. In my case AllowOverride was set to .htaccess so I left it alone and did not make that change.
  
• I was not sure what my windows directory was so I copied the DLLs to c:\windows, c:\windows\system, and c:\windows\system32
