Topic: Apache has encountered a problem with php5_module

[Rocker]

Hi, all.
First, sorry for my English, I'm not fluent yet.

I'm having a problem with Apache and PHP.

When I try to start Apache with httpd.conf calling a "LoadModule php5_module", I get a "Apache HTTP server has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience."

But, if I comment this line, Apache starts fine...

I'm using Apache 2.2 (downloaded from apache.org) and
PHP 5.3.5 VC6 TS (downloaded from windows.php.net).


Thanks in advance

For PHP 5.3 TS you need a VC9 build Apache (eg. from here), the one from apache.org can trouble.
See on the left at http://windows.php.net/download/

The lines you have to place your httpd.conf are normally :

# Add to your httpd.conf
LoadModule php5_module "c:/php/php5apache2_2.dll"
AddHandler application/x-httpd-php .php

# configure the path to php.ini
PHPIniDir "C:/php"

Note: Remember to substitute the c:/php for your actual path to PHP in the above example.

Hi,

PHP 5.3.5 VC9, both TS and NTS, doesn't have "Install as Apache module" option on its installing archive.

I have tried to install them before.

Should I try to install anyway?



One more OBS: Apache 2.2 + PHP 5.3.5 VC6 TS run perfectly on Windows 7 Ultimate (my friend's computer).

Yep, from a little trial and error you learn.

NTS versions I do not believe have the modules, since they are Not Thread Safe and Apache is a threaded server, Last I looked the TS ones had them in it. 5.2.10 does for sure since I just looked.

I couldn't do it yesterday.

Today, I Backup'd php.ini, uninstalled PHP 5.3.5 VC6 TS, and installed PHP 5.3.10 VC9 TS.
Worked!



Thanks so much.
