Cannot find dll

Anon

Hi,

I have installed PHP 4.0.6 and Apache 1.3.20 on a Win2000 System and can't start the Apache server because he doesn't find php4apache.dll...

To tell you the truth I don't have it. I can't find it on my system and it doesn't seem to be included in the zip or tar archive.

Where can I get it?

Thanks in advance.

php4apache.dll should be in the /sapi folder of the PHP distribution. If it's not there, try downloading anyone copy of the distribution.... you may have gotten an incomplete version for some reason.

There isn't even a dir named "sapi". I've taken the official version 4.0.6 from php.net and I tried both distributions (the tar archive and the installer version).

Maybe someone can send me this dll.

Try to use this, instead of loading the php_apache module.

Remember to correct the path to where you have php installed!

ScriptAlias /php/ "c:/webserver/php/"
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php Action application/x-httpd-php "/php/php.exe

Ahh..... I see the source of your problem. You're downloading the wrong distribution archives my friend🙂

The gzip'ed tarball is the source code distro (ie. it contains the C source which is compiled to make PHP). php4apache.dll is a precompiled binary so you can't expect to find it there.

The Win32 installer doesn't do Apache. Apache requires manual editting of httpd.conf, and the installer only plays with your registry to configure IIS, PWS, Xitami, etc. Since the installer doesn't do Apache, php4apache.dll also isn't included there.

Download the zip file archive (link name: PHP 4.0.6 zip package). It contains php4apache.dll and all the other sapi's. It also contains all the PHP extension modules: GD, zLib, databases, etc. which are also not included in the Win32 installer.

The installer is intended only as a method of getting a working test installation up and running on Win32 specific servers. It's primary goal is to make life easier for new folks coming from a WinDoze background who may find a manual, text-file based installation difficult or confusing.
