Hi

I have windows XP pro with service pack 3 on machine.
I installed Apache 2.2 and tested, it's working fine.
And then I installed php 5.3.2.
When I start Apache, it doesn't start and not getting get following error.
"Apache HTTP Server has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience."
But I don't get any error in the log fine.

After studing in detail, I found this enrty in httpd.conf
LoadModule php5_module "C:/php/php5apache2_2.dll"

But this file is already there in the folder.

In windows event log; I found this entry

Faulting application httpd.exe, version 2.2.14.0, faulting module php5ts.dll,
version 5.3.2, fault address 0x000e619a.

Please can someone help me with this problem. It is getting on my nerve. I can get my learning php work carry

forward.

many thank

- Which PHP Version (TS or NTS) did you use?
->When using PHP as a ApacheModule (like you do when php5apache2_2.dll is specified in http.conf) you need the TS Version of PHP 5
- Which Compile Version of PHP do you use (VC6 or VC9)
-> If you use VC9 you might install the vc9 runtime dlls from microsoft
- Which Apacheversion do you use (from apachelounge or from apache.org)
-> You should use the VC9 Build of PHP when using apache from apachelounge and you should use the VC6 Build of PHP when using apache from apache.org

Installed httpd-2.2.15-win32-x86-openssl-0.9.8m-r2.msi from apache.org on Windows 2003 server. Downloaded php-5.3.2-nts-Win32-VC6-x86.zip and unziped to c:\data\php. Had to get php5apache2_2.dll from a Uniformserver distribution. Added teh appropriate LoadModule and get same errors.

Try the ts-vc6 version of PHP. You are using php as an apache module so you need to use the ts-version.

if it still does not work, i suggest using the vc9 build of apache here from apachelounge. the php5apache2_2.dll is already provided there. You should also use the ts-VC9 build of PHP in this case.

WM003,

Thanks for the suggestion. Idownloaded httpd-2.2.15-win32-x86-ssl.zip from apachelounge. Then downloaded php-5.3.2-nts-Win32-VC9-x86.zip and php5apache2.dll-php5.1.x.zip. I added c:\php to my path environment.

Bottom line: same problem:

>>> httpd.exe: Syntax error on line 129 of C:/Apache2/conf/httpd.conf: Cannot load C:/php/php5apache2.dll into server: The specified module could not be found. I can access it from the desktop.


Any ideas?

Again: Use must use the TS-Version of PHP, not the NTS Version of PHP when using php as a apache module.

besides that: when using apache 2.2 you need to use php5apache2_2.dll (not php5apache2.dll)

Also: php5apache2.dll-php5.1.x.zip is for php 5.1 as the filename says. but you are using php 5.3

Sorry, I thoguht that might be a typo. The php site doesn't quite say which one is the TS version: php-5.2.13-Win32-VC6-x86.zip.

Works! Thanks for all the help.
