Topic: PHP 5.3.9 with Apache 2.3.16 on 64bit Windows 7

[borisp]

I am trying to install Apache Web Server 2.3.16 with PHP php-5.3.9, both on 64 bit Windows 7. The apache installation itself went OK and I was able to access test page from browser. But as soon as I tried to enable PHP support I get the "C:\Apache23\bin>httpd.exe
httpd.exe: Syntax error on line 510 of C:/Apache23/conf/httpd.conf: Cannot load
C:/PHP/php5apache2_4.dll into server: The specified module could not be found." error message. "php5apache2_4.dll" has been downloaded from the same server and at aproximately the same time as web server. Also it is present in formentioned folder. I am unable to find any more information in log files, and also I cannot find any information in event viewer.


Hopefully someone on forum will have a hint that will help me solve this problem. BTW, the reason that I am working on experimental software is that I would like to have owncloud on Windows, which demands PHP >= 5.3. which means I need VC9 compiled apache, which means 2.4.

Sure you downloaded the correct version of the PHP handler from the download page here ?

Nothing in the Windows Event Viewer ?

I downloaded "httpd-2.3.16-win32.zip" and "php5apache2_4.dll-php-5.3.9-win32.zip" from your download page. Created date on httpd.exe file is 15.12.2011 (file version 2.3.16.0), and on php5apache2_4.dll 21.12.2011.
Since it was late yesterday I checked again - deleted all events from ebent log and all apache log files. There is nothing in Event Viewer and log files were not created in log folder.
If I remove "LoadModule" and PHPIniDir entries from httpd.conf I can start service without problem, logs are created on disk, and logs are created in event viewer.

I read what I wrote above and I must clarify something. I tried to start apache in command prompt with command httpd.exe. This is why there is nothing in event viewer and error described above in console. If I try to start it as a service (with php) I do get an error in event viewer. Error is "The Apache2.4 service terminated with service-specific error Incorrect function..".

With PHP disabled it is running both as a standalone program and as a service.

Do you run the TS php 5.3.9 download ?

Please set in your php.ini

Version is 5.3.9 as it can be seen from output below:
