Apache :: Cannot load d:/php514/php5apache2.dll into server:

Elwyn · Joined: 22 May 2006 Posts: 2

I followed the instructions at http://www.apachelounge.com/viewtopic.php?t=374 as I have a similar set up to you - brand new install of XPSP2 etc.

After following the procedure I couldn't restart the Apache server - the following error occurs:

httpd.exe: Syntax error on line 486 of D:apache2/conf/httpd.conf: Cannot load d:/php514/php5apache2.dll into server: The specified module could not be found

I'm fairly new to modifying the code of files but I followed your pdf to the letter and also installed the VC++ redist.

Many thanks

Liam

First thing to check is that when you extracted the new DLL file from Steffen's zip that you extracted it to the correct folder, ie. d:\php514 and that the filename has not changed.

Apologies. It was an error on my part - I missed a crucial '/' out of the command line. Appears to be working now - many thanks for the tips provided.

@pips: I will take a look at your pdf later on today. Today I have to clean house and will be jumping back on the net later on today. I'll give it a shot pips.

Here is another site that I hit for windows binaries and apache modules for windows based boxes. I have posted this site on here b4.
http://www.gknw.at/development/apache/ <---main site.
http://www.gknw.at/development/apache/httpd-2.2/win32/modules/ <---Apache 2.2 modules.
On the second link provided scroll down and find: mod_php-5.1.4-2.2.2-w32.zip
-OR-
http://www.gknw.at/development/apache/httpd-2.2/win32/modules/mod_php-5.1.4-2.2.2-w32.zip <---direct link.

Now I've got a question. I have current versions of php, mysql and apache. Can anybody work with that dll file provided in that zip and get it working with apache 2.2 and php 5.1.4? I seem to not be able to get Steffen's nor gknw's php dll working.

I have to thank Pips for that excellent How to guide!

As a total n00b to Apache and PHP and MySQL, it was a wonderful start and i got it going on first try.

Many thanks!

I'm getting an error from Apache much like Elwyn's. I've extracted and put the modified apache2 module in the correct location, but Apache can't seem to find it.

When I delete the line "
LoadModule php5_module c:/php514/php5apache2.dll" in httpd and when I take the file httpd.exe.manifest out of C:\apache2\bin Apache works...

What is the problem...?

Just to give you all a head's up. it works did the php test file with the php code list in your .pdf file works just fine and pulls everything up properly.

NOW with saying if you had a phpBB pre-php 5.1.4 and pre-mysql 5.0.21 and did an upgrade to current versions of phpBB 2.0.20 then to php 5.1.4 and mysql 5.0.21 U WILL BE DISCONNECTED FROM YOUR DATABASE and you'll have to reset your board.

As far as phpmyadmin if you are running the current version of 2.8.1rc1 then you'll continue to get that aggrivating phpMyAdmin - Error
Cannot load mysql extension. Please check your PHP configuration. - Documentation

Even if you follow the instructions in the first post in this topic you'll still get these errors.

Sorry if this is a stupid question...but I'm still having problems...
I've restored an old database, recreated the accounts with permissions, and am trying to restore an apache, PHP, MySQL app that I wrote. However, not only does the cname "localhost" not work (I get the message "It works" and not my index.html page..even though it's in the directory) but I always get the error message:

You don't have permission to access /php/php-cgi.exe/file.php on this server.

Suggestions?

I'm having a similar problem to RagingFerret. I've successfully installed Apache 2.2.22 mysql 5.0.21 and PHP 5.1.4 on XP, however, when I try to open localhost in my browser (Firefox or IE) all I get is the "It Works" page instead of the index.php info file that I created and saved in the htdocs directory.

The php.ini and httpd.conf files are appended properly, and I have added my php directory to path. I must be missing or forgetting something, and I hope someone here might be able to point me in the right direction.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Cory.

clubikimakuri & RagingFerret,

What do you have for your DirectoryIndex directive in the HTTPD.CONF?

pnllan, thanks for your reply.

Here's a snipet from my HTTPD.CONF file:

DirectoryIndex index.html index.php

As far as I know that's the way it should be...

The info file I created looks like this:

<?php
phpinfo()
?>

and is saved as index.php in the htdocs folder.

I'm sure I'm making some trivial mistake during the installation process, I just can't figure out what it is...

clubikimakuri,

Realize that the DirectoryIndex directive processes in the order that you list. Meaning, the first file processed will be index.html, only IF index.html DOES NOT exists in the specified folder will index.php will be served up.

If you want index.php to be served first, then your statement should read:

pnallan,

Thank you very much for the information. I reordered my directive and everything works as expected.

I really appreciate your help. I have read the manual, and being a complete newbie to programming, it is still rather difficult to understand. It's nice to have a place like there where I can come to when I need help.

Thanks again,
Cory

Ach, sorry for the late reply.
Mine is set to index.html as well, but my index page is indeed written in just plain HTML and is an index.html file. However, when I try to load ANY .php pages I get that error message.
This is a li'l thing I wrote beforehand that worked well for months, so I know it's not the code...anything else I can do?

*EDIT*
Also, should I take some steps to remove the security flaw, I get a new problem. When loading the websites through firefox, apache won't DISPLAY the .php pages. Instead, it'll prompt me to download them to my home system. IE, on the other hand, just gives me the same security problems.

aarrggghh. This was NEVER this hard before.

Hi Pips (or Steffan, if you know),

I am confused about the tutorial I noticed this:

James Blond

php5ts is the main PHP file used by cgi and modul version Wink
