Topic: Enabling "LoadModule php5_module" crashes apache2

[romanchr]

First, the facts:

Windows XP SP3
Apache HTTP Server 2.2.16.0
PHP 5.3.3 (MSI installer)

The problem: when I try to start apache with PHP enabled, apache crashes and throws this windows error:

szAppName : httpd.exe
szAppVer : 2.2.16.0
szModName : php5ts.dll
szModVer : 5.3.3.0
offset : 000e74ec


I have made the following changes to Apache http.conf:

Added LoadModule php5_module "C:/Programme/PHP/php5apache2_2.dll"
Added PHPIniDir "C:/Programme/PHP"

I have made the following changes to php.ini:

short_open_tag = On
error_reporting = E_ALL | E_STRICT
display_errors = On

I also made sure to add C:/Programme/PHP to windows PATH[/i].

When I comment LoadModule ... and PHPIniDir ... in the httpd.conf, apache starts without any problems.
What is wrong?

Any help is appreciated!

Where did Apache come from?
Which php, VC6 or VC9?

[romanchr]

I got apache from the apache.org homepage. I had chosen the msi installer.
And I've downloaded the VC6 version, since that one should be used with apache. The only thing I am not sure of is whether or not I had chosen the thread save version. I think I haven't.

The problem solved itself with restarting the computer. I should have known better... Thanks for your help.
