Topic: Apache cannot find PHP module, Help!!!

[kr33]

Hi All

I'm having trouble loading a module for php5 in apache

My OS : Windows Server 2003 Enterprise
Apache : version 2.2.3
PHP : Version 5
MySQL : version 5

I'm doing a manual config
In the httpd.conf file I added the following line:
LoadModule php5_module "c:/php/php5apache2.dll"

But when I restart the server, it fails and says the following...: Syntax error on line 115 <path of the httpd.conf file>, unable to load module on the server, cannot find C:\php\php5apache2.dll.

I made sure that I typed the path in correctly and that it exists. But I'm stuck now.

Please help, with setting up apache to use php5 and MySQL 5.

ANY help would be GREAT!!!

Much thanks

The php5apache2.dll from php.net is not build for Apache 2.2.3
Download it from here and replace that in your php folder

If that don't work than, you may read this tutorial

You need to use c:/php/php5apache2_2.dll file downloaded from php-5.2.0-Win32.zip file rather than php5apache2.dll file. php5apache2.dll is not compatible with apache2.2.3.

This works for me.

Hope it helps.
