Hi,

I was trying to install PHP 5.2.2 installer when I encounter this error:

"Error trying access the local web service: GetObject Failed. You will need to manually configure the web server."

Can anyone advise what could be the possible cause of this error?
And what should I do to the apache server configuration?

On another note, I have managed to install Apache 2.2.4 successfully and I have also started the service.

Also, do I need to configure PHP after installing it?

Thanks.

my advice install XAMPP .. it is easyer if you are not a very experience webdev.

Thanks for your reply!

I have managed the get PHP installed. I selected all components previously during installation which somehow caused the error. By using the default installation settings, the problem will not occur.

Thanks for the solution. I had the exact same problem!

You can also install wampserver, it's very nice and with php and mysql

If you install everything apache will get told to load everything. Go
into your httpd.conf file in apache and tell it to load one apache file.
Your apache version and block all the others.
