 Posted: Fri 10 Feb '17 18:57 Post subject: pcre.dll error starting httpd |
 |
|
Hello
I downloaded apache 2.4.25 file httpd-2.4.25-win64-VC14.zip, unzipped it and placed it on my windows server 2012 R2 to C:\Apache24\...
When I start httpd.exe I get a popup with the error: entry point 'isupper' in pcre.dll not found.
I can not resolve this issue. Any idea how to fix this?
Kind regards

Strange.
Your download is corrupted or httpd is loading an other dll.
Did you change anything in httpd.conf or otherwise ? |

I retrieved the sha1 value and checked it with the corresponding value given at the download page. It was equal.
I did not change anything on the httpd.conf file until now. The path in there to the the apache location is correct. I also added the application to systemvariables' path-variable ...;C:\apache24;c:\apache24\bin;...
The pcre.dll is part of the apache distribution residing in the apache24/bin directory. I suppose httpd.exe takes it from there.
I unzipped the the distribution file using 7ZIP and copied the Apache24 part to C:\Apache24\... It did not feel like a real installation and proper registration to the windows operating system to me.
I also installed both Microsoft's Visual Studio C++ 2015 64-bit and 32-bit versions on the server. I found the recommendation to do so in apache installation sites.
I am working on this for many hours over three days now and I ran out of ideas how to fix this problem. Any new idea is appreciated.
Thanks |

| Open a DOS-prompt and enter 'where pcre.dll' to see if there is another pcre.dll in your path. |

Hello Jan-E
Thanks for your response. I had asked my provider to reload a snapshot-save from last Wednesday 08.02.2017 in order to get rid of a series of changes I made on that Windows Server 2012 R2.
The state now is: When I start httpd.exe the error pop-up says 'the procedure entry point 'malloc' in C:\Apache24\bin\libapriconf-1.dll is missing'.
When I use the where cmd it says:
C:\Apache24\bin>where libapriconv-1.dll
C:\Apache24\bin\libapriconv-1.dll
Apache 2.4.25 does not seem to be compatible with my Windows Server 2012 R2. I will try to install an Apache Version 2.2. |

Apache 2.4.25 is even compatible with Windows Server 2008 R2. I am running it on 2 servers: production and dev.
v2.4.25 certainly is compatible with Win 2012 R2. |
