Topic: Having difficulties loading the PHP 5.4 handler

[Theos]

I'm having difficulties loading the 5.4 handler. It's failing on startup with the error "The specified module could not be found.". Below are my configuration details. Any ideas?

[Steffen]

The php-5.4.0-nts-Win32-VC9-x86 does not work.

You must use the VC9 x86 Thread Safe php-5.4.0-Win32-VC9-x86.zip from http://windows.php.net/download/

Hello,

For php to work with apache Thread Safe version need to be installed.

Handlers for Apache 2.4 built by Apache Lounge are available here:
http://www.apachelounge.com/download/

Also, be sure to have the path to your php installation added to PATH environment variable.

I made sure everything is thread safe. I have PHP 5.3x on this box too and everything works perfectly. I would really like to use PHP 5.4 features, what am I doing wrong?

Thanks Alex

Anything in the Apache and/or PHP error log ?

What do you get when you start Apache from a command prompt ?

Sure your directives in httpd.conf are correct:

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

you say that you are running Apache VC9 2.4.2 , where did you get it from ?

Steffen

[alexerwin33444]

I believe I downloaded it from Apache Lounge.

I did make sure to have all of those settings (LoadModule, AddHandler, and PHPIniDir) marked as required.

Apache does not complain, just crashes. PHP is not generating an error log

[admin]

So it craches when you run Apache from a command prompt, with no errors ?

Did you copied php5apache2_4.dll to you PHP folder ?


Steffen

[alexerwin33444]

This is correct. I copied the file to my PHP directory and Apache crashes from the prompt with no errors but errors in the Event Viewer as posted.

[admin]

Try to run from command prompt:

>httpd.exe -t

[alexerwin33444]

Syntax OK

[admin]

I am stumbled why it is not working for you, maybe some else has a clue.
