    I guess, you should change the port number while installation.

    If there is any already existing applications that uses the same port number as your php does, then the php will be installed but you cannot run on your system.

    This might clear problem in the installation.

    Okay

    I assume your trying to install php on a windows server.

    the easilest way to do this is to use IIS instead of apache its easy ot install using the "free microsoft web platform installer"

    and you can even set up PHPmyadmin and MySQL at the same time. through a easy to use form

    I don't really know what's the problem , but i would like to suggest using all in one package like XAMPP for example , installing xampp is very easy , just run the installation file and your done.
