Topic: Problem installing PHP 5.4.4 on Apache 2.4.2 in WinXP SP3

[hlfernandez]

Hello,

I am trying to install PHP 5.4.4 with Apache 2.4.2. To do that, I follow this steps. First, I install Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 SP1 Redistributable Package (x86).

Then I download:
- Apache 2.4.2: httpd-2.4.2-win32.zip
- php-5.4.4-Win32-VC9-x86.zip from http://windows.php.net/downloads/releases/archives/
- And finally: php5apache2_4.dll-php-5.4-win32.zip

And I extract them to:
- C:/Apache24
- C:/php

From php5apache2_4.dll-php-5.4-win32.zip I copy the file php5apache2_4.dll from directory PHP 5.4.4 to C:/php.

I put \;C\php;C:\Apache24\bin in the PATH. Now Apache works.

In order to install php 5.4 I add the following lines to httpd.conf:

LoadModule php5_module "C:/php/php5apache2_4.dll"
AddHandler application/x-httpd-php .php
PHPIniDir "C:/php"

Well, mi problem is that this installation does not work on a Windows XP SP3 since the Apache server does not start.

However, doing exactly the same installation on a Windows 7 I got PHP 5.4.4 succesfully installed and the Apache server starts.

This is the error in Windows XP when starting the Apache:

C:\Documents and Settings\alumno>httpd
httpd: Syntax error on line 515 of C:/Apache24/conf/httpd.conf: Cannot load C:/p
hp/php5apache2_4.dll into server: No se pudo iniciar la aplicación porque su
configuración es incorrecta. Reinstalar la aplicación puede solucionar el
problema.

Do you have any idea? I hope you can help me.

Regards,

Hugo.

Did you also installed the Microsoft 2008 C++ Runtime (x86) ?


Needed with XP for php from http://windows.php.net/download/ , the link for the VC9 runtime is there at the left column.

Hi Steffen,

Thank you very much! I Installed the Microsoft 2008 C++ Runtime (x86) on XP and now it works.

However, I find it curious that having installed Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 SP1 Redistributable Package (x86) on XP it doesn't work.

Regards,

Hugo.
