Topic: PHP - MySQL - Apache on Windows XP Pro - ARGHH

[av8or]

OK...I really am not sure where to start. I am trying to install PHP, MySQL and Apache on my Windows XP Pro box. When I make almost any change to my httpd.conf file, apache won't start.
First I thought the listen line would be 2 lines;
Listen xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
Listen 80
That fails, but it will start with
Listen xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:80
Is this ok?
Then I try to add the PHP info.
I can add AddType application/x-httpd-php .php to the file and it will restart, but if I add
LoadModule php5_module c:/php/php5apache2.dll
it will not restart. It does not give me any debugging info, just a box that says "The requested operation has failed."
The PHP files are in C:\PHP just as the installation instructions for that state. And I have tried restarting the PC also.
Any help is appreciated. Thanks folks.

Please read the manual for such noob questios. If you have any questions the manual don't answer please come back.

And after tons of perusing, I could find no reference to the PHP portion of my question in the manual.

In Windows you need to set the path in quotes "

I copied that code directly and it does the same thing. Apache will not start. I have put the PHP stuff in c:/PHP and put the path statement in windows environment. I'm lost....

Please tell us what version of Apache. php and Mysql you use.

See the forum rules.

MySQL = 5.0.21
PHP 5.1.4.4
Apache 2.2.2

I put the path statement below in my 'environment variables'
%SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem;C:\PHP\;

I also tried it with C:\PHP - without the last slash.

Below is a swipe of my Apache error log. I don't understand why it does not find it. I know I can put the dll in my system folder. It would be easier for a nyophyte like myself to do upgrades if I don't need to remember that though!

Win32DisableAcceptEx

[Steffen]

Do you use php5apache2.dll from the download page here?
It is nessary for 2.2.2.

There are quite some posts about your issue in the forums here.

I added the following to the config file, with no change:

<IfDefine AEX>
Win32DisableAcceptEx
</IfDefine>
