Apache :: Apache 2.2.15 & PHP 5.3.2, Windows XP: httpd service no

I had had Apache 2.2.14 and an older PHP 5.2.x working happily together, supporting MySQL, phpMyAdmin, etc., on a localhost set-up under Windows XP Pro (SP3). I uninstalled all that and instead:

(1) Installed Apache 2.2.15 in a localhost config from httpd-2.2.15-win32-x86-no_ssl.msi (also tried the openssl version when the former + PHP didn't work). That worked just fine.

(2) Installed PHP 5.3.2 from php-5.3.2-Win32-VC6-x86.msi (thread safe), which php.net says to use, as I read its instructions. (It says NOT to use the VC9 version with apache.org binaries.)

Now the apache httpd service will not start. So of course I never got so far as to try a .php script in the browser.

Of course I put the correct entries in PATH and PHPRC. My httpd.conf was what the apache installer set up plus my changes in appropriate spots:

I retried everything after completely uninstalling both apache http and PHP, again using httpd-2.2.15-win32-x86-no_ssl.msi but this time installing PHP manually from php-5.3.2-Win32-VC6-x86.zip.

File httpd.conf is what the Apache installer set up plus my edits in appropriate spots:

http://webdevcodex.com/tutorial-installing-apache2-php5-mysql5-phpmyadmin3-windows-7-vista/ seemed to help. I got apache and php to come up in my browser but am unable to get Dreamweaver's CS5 Live View or browser display to work.

I think I'll try an older version.

Sorry I wasn't clearer.

1) I was having problems getting Apache to install.

2) The headline reads Windows 7/Vista/XP, so don't understand your point.

3) Yes the current version is Apache 2.2.15 and PHP 5.3.2, and all the usual tutorials don't work for 2.2.15.

I am using Windows 7, Apache 2.2.15 and PHP 5.3.2. This tutorial sets up a virtual server and seems to work, but I want to use DW CS5 with Apache and PHP 5 and they don't work together.

Try looking beyond the headlines. I will refrain from further comments.

I have to kind of agree
Faulting application httpd.exe, version 2.2.15.0, time stamp 0x4c2e6461, faulting module unknown, version 0.0.0.0, time stamp 0x00000000, exception code 0xc0000005, fault offset 0x01a42471, process id 0x4a8, application start time 0x01cb1cdf20cd1b8a.

Apache 2.2.15 VC9
PHP 5.3.2 VC9 TS
Apache seems to start but dies seconds later with the above error.

I know you want 5.3 but if possible, use 5.2 till they get the kinks out of 5.3.

Or, another option would be mod_fcgid to run PHP. I could cough up a vc6 binary of mod_fcgid/2.3.5 if you would like. I do not get the above error and have use of php 5.3 going this route.

I wonder what is the difference, since I run it perfectly with apach 2.2.15 VC9 and PHP 5.2.3 VC9 TS. (Also with fcgid PHP 5.2.3 NTS works).

The only difference I see is the order of the lines in httpd.conf. You might test it with the different order!? Don't know if that solves it, but at least you could try.

No change changing order
php.ini-production defaults, no extensions

It's a bit wired. I made a new installation of XP Pro SP3 included in Virtual PC. Downloaded Apache 2.2.15 No SNI from AH and VC9 x86 Thread Safe (2010-Mar-04 20:11:10) zip from windows.php.net

I only tested phpinfo();

httpd -k install
httpd -k start
phpinfo();
httpd -k restart
phpinfo();
httpd -k stop
httpd -k uninstall

used no php.ini and php.ini-production defaults, no extensions

runs smooth like a baby butt

glsmith

ok Chainsaw,

As a service, runs fine for me too, hadn't tried that.
Starting from command line I get the above posted error

How to reproduce? I'd like to know what causes the error, but without knowing what is going on its PITA.

I've seen the exception code 0xc0000005 before. it is the status 3221225477 error seen many times... Neutral

I tried also from command line. Just for the records double clicking on the exe I can use CTRL + C and CTRL + Break which doesn't work in trunnk build...

No murrayE neither of us were using a.o binaries hence the VC9. Apache.org binaries are built on vc6, so yes you must use vc6 php if you are going to load php5apache2_2.dll. I will grab a copy from a.o and vc6 php later and see what I get with that combo.

Edit:

This combo works fine for me on Vista and XP SP3
http://www.apache.org/dist/httpd/binaries/win32/httpd-2.2.15-win32-x86-no_ssl.msi
http://windows.php.net/downloads/releases/php-5.3.2-Win32-VC6-x86.zip

Please try starting service and right after it fails, check the Event Viewer and see what is in it.

The following seems to have resolved the issue: Thanks to a suggestion at Experts Exchange, I found additional copies of php_*.dll files in a separate Marvell MRU subdirectory of C:\Program files (from a monitor of Marvell RAID controller) which uses an embedded apache server. I uninstalled the Marvell MRU program. Now I can start Apache 2.2.15 service with apache loaded, as usual, as a PHP module with PHP 5.3.2. Even after removing my whole PHP tree obtained from the .zip and instead using the VC6 x86 Thread Safe.msi installer.

Curiously, the Marvell MRU directory was not on my PATH, so I don't know how or, indeed, whether really Apche PHP was finding it and causing the conflict.
