Topic: Problems starting web server with PHP

[poojagirl]

My environment is as follows:

- Windows 7, 32 bit
- Apache 2.4.3-win32
- PHP-5.4.8-Win32-VC9-x86

Apache works fine on its own, but does not start up when PHP is added on. PHP dll’s included in this distribution are 2.2 and 2.3 versions.

The configuration in httpd.conf file are as follows:

<Directory />
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride none
Require all granted
</Directory>

# For PHP 5 do something like this:
LoadModule php5_module "C:/PHP/php5apache2_2.dll"
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php

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


The error I get is:

httpd.exe: Syntax error on line 531 of C:/Apache24/conf/httpd.conf: Cannot load C:/PHP/php5apache2_2.dll into server: The specified procedure could not be found.

When the 2.3 version of the dll is used, the error is:

httpd.exe: Syntax error on line 531 of C:/Apache24/conf/httpd.conf: Module "sapi\\apache2handler\\mod_php5.c" is not compatible with this version of Apache (found 20110619, need 20120211). Please contact the vendor for the correct version.

Without these added configurations, the web server starts up with no issues, of course PHP does not work.

Please help. Thanks in advance.

You have to use php5apache2_4.dll, download it from the download page here.
