Joomla crash after installation

http://localhost/joomla/administrator/ The web browser returns an error that the page does not exist after I complete the installation and deleted the folder.

I have to use apache2. I am also using the latest version of apache, mysql. Im using php 5.2.13 VC6 x86 Thread Saf开发者_StackOverflow社区e.

I used a combo of two tutorials:

Tutorial 1 Tutorial 2

When I chose mysql as the database it would give me the error right away but if I chose mysqli then I would be able to complete the installation then when I selected either client or administrator then I would get the browser error.

The only difference between the two tutorials is that I used PHPIniDir instead of copying and pasting it to apache.

httpd.conf

LoadModule php5_module "c:/datafiles/php/php5apache2_2.dll"
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .phtml .inc .php3 
AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps
PHPIniDir "c:/datafiles/php"

I also changed ServerName localhost:80 due to an error in the log.

All pre-installation checks are perfect.

I even tried the PHP installers from the two currently available version but they don't let me start apache.

edit: It was able to install with mysqli the data samples.

try Disabling each extension in php.ini file to see which extension is causing the crash .most of the time the "Curl Extension" would be the reason for the Crash.
