Apache 2 Install

bart

After having PHP installed with IIS5 on my Win2K server and having a few issues, I have now installed Apache2 web server.

I have run through the config instructions that come with the PHP/Windows download but I am now getting the following 2 error messages every time the Apache2 service tries to start...

1.
The Apache service named reported the following error:

Syntax error on line 160 of C:/Program Files/Apache Group/Apache2/conf/httpd.conf: .

2.
The Apache service named reported the following error:

Cannot load C:/php/sapi/php4apache.dll into server: The specified module could not be found. .

Line 160 of my httpd.conf reads...

LoadModule php4_module C:/php/sapi/php4apache.dll

My PHP install dir is c:\php so the path is correct and indeed the file exists.

Has anyone experienced this problem and resolved?

C:/Program Files/Apache Group/Apache2/conf/httpd.conf: .

replace / into \

bart

The httpd.conf specifies that all slashes should be / not \ but I did try replacing the c:/php/sapi etc.. with c:\php\sapi\ etc... but still not joy. Same error

bernouli

The specified module could not be found

maybe you should load the module from other directory?

bart

OK - O copied the module to the modules dir withi the Apache install dir and changed the httpd.conf but the same error has occurred!

do you have to restart the apache server??
otherwise i have no idea, sorry 🙁

Also, if you are running Apache 2, then you need to download the newest copy of PHP and get hold of the new .dll file (I think its C:/php/sapi/php4apache2.dll).

bart

yeah - I have tried that too but still no joy.

I can't restart the Apache Service, in fact I can't start it at all as it fails with the error I put in my first post.

I'm really stuck now.

i finally got it to work.

the install instructions for php say to add the following lines to your httpd file...

LoadModule php4_module c:/php/sapi/php4apache.dll
AddModule mod_php4.c
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php

i got it to work by getting rid of the
AddModule mod_php4.c

now everything works like a charm!
