Topic: PHP Install Error

[anaracaix]

Ok, I am trying to get Apache working with PHP & MySQL on my Win. XP Pro PC. I have MySQL and Apache installed and working, and am working on getting PHP to work with Apache.

Ok, I downloaded PHP5 and extracted it to c:\php
I then moved the php.ini (the php.ini-recommended file, renamed to php.ini) file to c:\windows
I then opened php.ini and changed doc_root = to doc_root = C:\Program Files\WebServer\home\Apache2.2\htdocs and extension_dir = "./" to extension_dir = "C:\php\ext" and uncommented extension=php_mysqli.dll so I could use MySQL 5.
I opened C:\Program Files\WebServer\home\Apache2.2\conf\httpd.conf and added to the end

# add PHP5 as an apache module
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
LoadModule php5_module "c:/php/php5apache2.dll"
# configure the path to php.ini
PHPIniDir "C:/php"

I try to run Apache (which did work with its default settings after the install) and I get an error

httpd.exe: Syntax error on line 488 of C:/Program Files/WebServer/home/Apache2.2/conf/httpd.conf: Cannot load C:/php/php5apache2.dll into server: The specified module could not be found.
Note the errors or messages above, and press the <ESC> key to exit. (Counter)...

I tried moving the libmysql.dll file to the c:\windows\system32 folder like some tutorials say, but the problem persists.

What am I doing wrong?

Do you use the php5apache2.dll from the download page here ?

You should use it, because the one shipped with php is not compatible with Apache 2.2.x
