install problems with Apache2 on W2K

Anon

Hi all...

So I've installed Apache 2.0.35 and uzipped php to c:\php. I've modified the php.ini file in c:\winnt and added the following lines to the httpd.conf file...

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

AddModule mod_php4.c

AddType application/x-httpd-php .php

I've copied the php4ts.dll to c:\winnt\system32.

Can someone tell me why when I try to start Apache it alerts "The requested operation has failed!" It has been days of fruitless tinkering.

thanks in advance

I DON'T know the answer, but I do know that the problem (as it stands now) is the LoadModule line, I have the exact same problem, and it's that line that has to be commented out to get Apache working again. If someone knows the answer, please enlighten us.

Apache2 and PHP4.2 is experimental, but can run with following modifications:
1) Change \"LoadModule\" line to point to following path:
LoadModule php4_module C:/php/experimental/apache2filter.dll

2) Comment out the AddModule line

That should get you up and running.

Right on John...PHP is runnin' hot.

with the new PHP there is no apache2filter.dll but a php4apache2.dll instead, when trying to load that module

LoadModule php4_module c:/PHP/sapi/php4apache2.dll

I can't start my apache server, do you have any clue?

I had also problems with that..

I messed around with all stuff.. eventually i went back to earlier version of apache..

Problem stayd.. then i noticed tht in windows system folder there was only php4ts.lib but no dll

I know i messed around with dll's and deleted em and copied and again and again..
but I am sure I had that dll in place when i installed apache2..

so i copied dll again and apache ate my php like old man..
then i uninstalled apache and installed apache2 and voila it worked also..

so i guess some ald win xx tricks just mess around with it a little

Now i hav problem with postgres, it seems php gives a @!#$ about php.ini file and pg_connect is sunknown to it..
nomatter what extension directory i give ..
