Topic: Issues with IIS and Apache on same Windows Server

[penra]

We use IIS and Apache on the same server, both webservers were using the same PHP Version 5.2.14. Now we need to use APC and in order to do so must upgrade Apache and PHP.
Upgraded Apache to the Apache Lounge binaries and both versions work fine with PHP 5.2.14, when we update PHP to Version 5.3.8 NTS, Apache refuses to start.
Is there a recommended version and method for using the same PHP with both IIS and Apache?

Windows 2003 R2
IIS 6
Apache 2.2.21 (Apache Lounge binary)

Any clue in the Windows Evenet, Apache and/or php log(s).

Do you run with php as module or fcgid ?

from httpd.conf:

ScriptAlias /php/ "C:/PHP/"
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .php5
Action application/x-httpd-php "/PHP/php.exe"
LoadModule php5_module "C:/PHP/php5apache2_2.dll"
SetEnv PHPRC "C:/PHP"
#PHPIniDir "C:/PHP"

<Directory "c:/PHP/">
AllowOverride None
Options None
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>

The error was like:
Faulting application httpd.exe, version 2.2.21.0, faulting module php5ts.dll, version 5.3.8.0, fault address 0x000956d6.

Looks like you going to run as module, then you need the VC9 x86 Thread Safe form php.net.

Try, assuming you php.ini is at C:/PHP:

LoadModule php5_module "C:/PHP/php5apache2_2.dll"
PHPINIDir C:/PHP/php.ini
AddHandler application/x-httpd-php .php

And remove the other lines you have.



Not sure why you have <Directory "c:/PHP/"> ....
You can remove it.

I will try tonight, thanks for help.

In this case php.ini is in c:\windows\php.ini.
Any issues with running IIS in the ThreadSafe version?
Or should I consider running NTS for IIS and TS for Apache?

[admin]

To avoid eventually conflicts, looks to me safer to have two versions of php running.

I do not know about IIS and PHP, just try it

On IIS use wincache
On Apache use Apc

I tried running a TS VC9 for Apache, separate from NTS VC9 for IIS, but Apache insists on using C:\windows as the PHP Configuration folder. The php.ini is looking at the correct install of PHP but the version is reporting the "IIS" version.
Does that make sense?
Regedit reveals a pointer to C:\windows\php.ini, should I remove it?

Maybe you mixed up the ini's. Best to have only two ini's on your system.

You can see with phpinfo script which ini is loaded at the header: Loaded Configuration File:

<?php
phpinfo();
?>
