[twiw.india@gmail.com]

I am unable to setup PHP with apache.

---------------------------
Warning
---------------------------
PHP Startup: Invalid library (maybe not a PHP library) 'php5apache2_4.dll'
---------------------------
OK
---------------------------
The above is the error i am getting when i give php -i.




I have added
1)extension=php5apache2_4.dll,
2) extension_dir = "D:/Softwares/php/ext"
in php.ini file

LoadModule php5_module "D:/Softwares/php/php5apache2_4.dll" in httpd.conf
<Directory "D:/Softwares/php">
AllowOverride None
Options None
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>

PHPIniDir "D:/Softwares/php"

AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
AddHandler application/x-httpd-php .php
all above in httpd.conf

Please help...

You set up is almost alright. But don't load that dll in php.ini. When you delete that line in your php.ini php should run fine.

Getting following error when i remove extension=php5apache2_4.dll from php.ini


httpd.exe: Syntax error on line 130 of C:/Program Files/Apache Software Foundati
on/Apache2.2/conf/httpd.conf: Cannot load D:/Softwares/php/php5apache2_4.dll int
o server: The specified procedure could not be found.

Thank you

Looking at your path:
"C:/Program Files/Apache Software Foundation/Apache2.2/conf/httpd.conf"
It seems you are using Apache v2.2 so you should use the php5apache2.dll module instead of php5apache2_4.dll because it is for Apache v2.4.

Regards.

PHP 5.5 does not support Apache 2.2

[twiw.india@gmail.com]

which version of PHP i need to use for apache 2.2.
and also version of php5apache2.dll ???

Thank you

Mandrake is partially correct but the proper dll for Apache 2.2 is php5apache2_2.dll

The bigger problem I'm seeing is that it looks like the Apache you are using is from the .msi installers at http://www.apache.org/dist/httpd/

If this is the case none of the PHP versions currently available will work with your Apache (as stated on the windows.php website) because the Apache's at apache.org are built with Visual C++ 6.0 and PHP versions 5.3 and up are built with either Visual C++ 2008 (VC9) or 2012 (VC11).

This is the first time i am doing the PHP setup.please provide me the proper steps with versions and from where i can download..

Thank you

With new version Apache 2.4 and new PHP you can read http://www.apachelounge.com/viewtopic.php?t=2394

if you want to use an older version of PHP you can download it from http://windows.php.net/downloads/releases/archives/

No installed service named "Apache2.2"

skip that step, the service is not there to uninstall.

[twiw.india@gmail.com]

But Apache2.2 is already installed in my system.If i install new version won't it be conflict?

[glsmith]

Apache may be installed, but there is no Windows Service installed named Apache2.2, it may have some other name however and I can't guess the name if it is there.

You installed Apache with an installer right? How about uninstalling it from Add/Remove Programs in XP/2003 or Programs and Features in WinVista/7/8/2008/2012, which can be found in the control panel.
