Hello! I’m trying to install Kanboard 1.2.13 (on Windows 10). But I’m a complete beginner … I’m following this page’s instructions: [https://docs.kanboard.org/en/latest/admin\_guide/windows\_installation.html](https://docs.kanboard.org/en/latest/admin_guide/windows_installation.html) Now, I’m stuck with this information: > Load the PHP module for Apache: > > Add this configuration in the file C:\Apache24\conf\httpd.conf: > > LoadModule php5\_module “c:/php/php5apache2\_4.dll” > AddHandler application/x-httpd-php .php > > #configure the path to php.ini > PHPIniDir “C:/php” > > #change this directive > DirectoryIndex index.php index.html I’m sure it sounds quite easy to you guys, but I don’t know what “add this configuration in the file” means… I’ve tried to copy/paste this lines in the C:\Apache24\conf\httpd.conf file, but as expected, Apache didn’t want to restart after this… It’d be amazing if you could explain me this part ! Don’t know what to think about Kanboard’s installation. I thought it’d be accessible for my level… 😅 Kind regards ---

I don’t really know anything about Apache/PHP on Windows (nor do I want to learn 😃) but: 1. Check that c:/php/php5apache2\_4.dll actually exists 2. Check that c:/php exists 3. The latest Kanboard version doesn’t support PHP 5 anymore. You might want to download 7.4 and use that instead. ---

Thank you for your reply! I’m already using the 7.4 version of php. As for your other suggestions: - c:/php exists as I unzipped php package in it - c:/php/php5apache2\_4.dll doesn’t exist whereas c:/php/php7apache2\_4.dll does. So I replaced it and once copy/ pasted in C:\Apache24\conf\httpd.conf it gives : ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/free1/uploads/kanboard1/original/1X/66bb39d2e464ff6005e76820dc7714ad08de217e.png) Then, I restart Apache, but it won’t work… ---

What error messages are you getting? And are there any log files from Apache or PHP that could help explain what the problem is? ---

Check: 1. LoadModule php **7** \_module “C:/Php/php7apache2\_4.dll” _(7, not 5)_ 2. Make sure php7\_module or PHPIniDir is not defined twice. Ctrl+F the file ---

I too had the same problem, but one key ingredient missing is that you need to install Visual C++ from Microsoft before loading PHP dll in apache and starting the server. Please do check this.
