Topic: Apache 2.2 doesn't start after installing PHP 5.3.2

[ishfady]

Hi
I have installed Apache 2.2.15 on windows Xp Pro and it work fine.
I then installed PHP 5.3.2, VC6 x86 Thread Safe.
I can see it add this two line into httpd.conf
PHPIniDir "C:/PHP/"
LoadModule php5_module "C:/PHP/php5apache2_2.dll"

But when I start apache, it failled and come with window popup message of fail. When checked apache log file, it say like;
Starting the Apache2.2 service
The Apache2.2 service is running.
] Apache/2.2.15 (Win32) PHP/5.3.2 configured -- resuming normal operations

Please can someone help me. I am bit lost here.

How did you restart apache after installing PHP?


Just by the way you forgot to add a line that PHP works

AddHandler application/x-httpd-php .php


Where did you download your apache? Where did you download php?

Elsewhere, in another thread here and elsewhere, I've described the same kind of experience. I think there's some fundamental incompatibility between the latest Apache and the latest PHP.
