Managed to solve the "Cannot load .. php4apache.dll" error

nom__kop

Encountered this problem just now whilst trying to install php and apache, but its running well now for me.

Here's the full installation procedure for win2k --

Note that I installed php into "c:\server\php", so make sure your configuration corresponds with your installation directory. Apache was installed and running properly before I installed PHP.

**1. Check that both php4apache.dll and php4ts.dll are in the "c:\server\php\sapi\" directory. (NB: All I did was to transfer php4ts.dll into the sapi directory and my problem was solved.)

Check that PHP.ini is in "c:\windows". Or the root directory in which windows is installed.

Check that the following lines have been inserted into PHP.ini

; Directory in which the loadable extensions (modules) reside.
extension_dir = "c:\server\php"

Check that the following lines have been inserted into httpd.conf at the appropriate locations.

LoadModule php4_module c:\server\php\sapi\php4apache.dll
.
.

AddModule mod_php4.c
.
.
.
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .php3 .php4 .phtml

Hope this helps should you encounter the same problem.

Regards.

Hey nomékop,

thanks for sharing. I also used to have trouble with this one.
I then solved it for myself another way, which I can also recommend: get e-novative WAMP, it sets up and configures all PHP stuff like a breeze, it's up to date and free of course.
