I'm running a WAMP server, hosting an internal website for my company's use.
Windows XP Home SP3
Apache 2.0
MySQL Server 5.5
PHP 5.?
Last night Microsoft Security Essentials froze while running a scan. I restarted the scan and it froze again, so I rebooted the server. Now Apache won't start, providing the following error:
| Code: | Syntax error on line 174 of C:/Program Files/Apache Group/Apache2/conf/httpd.conf:
Cannot load C:/Program Files/Apache Group/Apache2/modules/mod_auth_mysql.so into server: %1 is not a valid Win32 application. |
This server has been running just fine since February, and no updates were made that I'm aware of. I moved the mod_auth_msyql.so file and now I get the "file does not exist" error when I try to start Apache. I'm trying to replace the file in case it got corrupted, but APXS won't build me a new file - gcc.exe spits out all kinds of errors. I think it's for Apache 1.3, but I can't seem to find a newer version anywhere for 2.0.
I'll be away from the computer this afternoon but will answer any questions when I get back. Thanks so much for any help!
[Edit]
I commented out line 174 from httpd.conf and the server starts now. I was expecting it to serve pages and not reach the database, but apparently the db is up and running...and things are working fine? I'm confused now. Why wouldn't the server need to start the db? (And I still want to know how this issue occurred in the first place.) Oh, and mod_auth_mysql.so is still not even IN the Apache /modules/ folder.

Your story confuses me too.
Where did you use mod_auth_mysql.so for ?
Any mysql strings in directives in your httpd.conf ? |

I don't believe so. Needless to say, I am new to Apache; the networking guy who built the server is not in right now, so it's up to me to fix it.
Is the mod_auth_mysql.so file just for setup purposes? It may have been because we were planning to do password authentication using the MySQL db but never got it set up properly. |

What do you not believe?
Yep it is only used for authentication against MySQL. |

| Sorry; I don't believe there are MySQL string directives in HTTPD. I remember now that the .so file was activated for authentication, but we never got it working. |
