Apache 1.3.27 + PHP5 Beta 1 install solution

rohithmr

I was trying to install PHP5 jus to it out on my WinXP box on Apache 1.3.27 but it always gave me the

Cannot load c:/php/sapi/php4apache.dll into server: (126) The specified module cannot be found.

error when i tried to install it as a Apache module. Then i tried to install it as CGI and it alwayz gave me the

Premature end of script headers:

error on all the php pages.

I finally found the solution in the php-install mailing list.

First instead of
LoadModule php4_module "c:/php/sapi/php4apache.dll"

you have to add this to the apache conf:

LoadModule php5_module "c:/php/sapi/php4apache.dll"

and then you have to put the iconv.dll file in the dlls folder in to the sapi folder.

Then everything will work fine.

I can see that! 😃

Now, that is good to know.... 🙂

Copying the iconv.dll file fixed Apache but now MySQL is not running.

More specifically the error is in phpMyAdmin 2.5.0:
cannot load MySQL extension,
please check PHP Configuration.

I am running Apache 1.3.27, PHP 5.0.0b, MySQL 4.0.13 on Windows 2000.

Any help would be appreciated.

Probably because, with MySQL AG changing the license, it's not bundled into PHP5 by default as it had been with PHP 4. It now needs to be installed separately the way other extensions do.
