Loaded Apache 2.2.4 & got it running OK; loaded PHP 5, then tried to
configure it thus:

I went to the "httpd.conf" file, and added:

# For PHP 5 do something like this:
LoadModule php5_module "C:\Program Files\PHP
\php5apache2_2_4.dll"
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php

# configure the path to php.ini
PHPIniDir "C:\Program Files\PHP"

and then ran "<?php phpinfo(); ?>" script. It ran (correctly) in
my browser, but then an error message came up, shutting down apache. I
turned apache back on; the same thing happened again-- but this time,
when I tried to turn it back on, an error message came up, telling me
the operation couldn't be performed (wouldn't run apache). I restarted
my computer; Apache wouldn't start again (same error message).

I removed the added lines from the "httpd.conf" file, and restarted
everything. Everything ran fine; but when I re-added the "LoadModule
php5_module..." code, it wouldn't start apache. What's going on? And
what do I do now?

all path slashes in httpd.conf should point forward (as in apache
docs) try that and see if it s.
do you have this line?

AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .php5 .htm
use a space separated series of file extensions you wish to be parsed
by php interpreter

i think my last post was daft, although you should change the paths.
What could be happening is that you havent set up the php.ini
properly, so that as a particular modeul gets called into play byt the
particular part of the phpinfo call, the process crashes, do you have
any errors in the error.log which would throw light on this, also
check the phperror.log if different, and have you indeed changed or
looked at the php.ini config file since placing the php5_module line
in your httpd.conf?

I tried changing the path: the results were the same. Also, I'm using
Windoze, so the directory path uses back-slashes. If you wouldn't
mind, I could send you a copy of the log file (as a .txt file).
Anyway, thanks again.

if the php.ini file has show errors on start up enabled, you might see
more also the
start->run-> eventvwr
might have more details, including line numbers and reasons
shut down Apache, take a quick look at the clock and then start it up
and browse to the phpinfo() script, and post the relevant lines from
the error.log here. That way we can all learn.

even though windows does use backslashes, all the paths in the apache
confs should be forward slashes - honest - its in the docs (in the
red box)
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod...html#customlog

I haven't had any problems with 2.2.4 on windows, so it should be
solvable (in theory)

hmm the faulting modeul "unknown" part is annoying
this means that one of the modules which you have loaded is faulting.
Now it could be php, however it might not be.
My advice is this:
get yourself off to the good folks at apachelounge at grab their copy
of apache2.2.4 and the php5 module for apache2.2.x
its better than the one from apache because its built with VS2005.NET
so its a little more in tune with windows.
the apache binary you need is this one.

httpd-2.2.4-win32-x86-ssl.zip

and the php5 apache 2.2.x handler is this one.
php5apache2.dll-php5.1.x.zip 24 Aug '06 14K
apache2handler for Apache 2.2.x and PHP 5.1.0-5.1.6


you should be able to straight copy over the top, but like a good boy
scout always have a backup plan.

I thoroughly recommend their binaries, have used them myself without
problems.

If this solves your problems then chalk it up and stick to the
releases on the apache lounge site, he are always prompt with his
builds.

Thanks again! While I was asking for info on the PHP bbs, I was also
asking around at the apache bbs too. One guy suggested I check out
"www.apachefriends.org". so I did. They have an all-the-trimmings
(PHP, MySQL, etc) Apache distro called XAMPP. I uninstalled my
versions of Apache & PHP and installed XAMPP-- it worked like a
CHARM!!! I can't recommend it enough to thickheaded newbies such as
myself.

So thanks, Matt, for the . I WILL be checking out Apache Lounge
the second I finish typing this.

Have a great evening!

yeah xampp is pretty cool, although they are slower to update their
binaries, and I'm not sure how they compile their binaries, I actually
use the apachelounge binaries over the top of xampp. Xampp is great
for the setup, config, layout, and then the tweaking comes from using
mod_security etc.. from AL! I have never had much luck using PEAR with
Xampp either.
Don't forget to secure your xampp setup if you plan to be accessible
over the network, phpmyadmin / ftp / mysql all need locking down.
have fun

Funny you should mention apachelounge. Someone on the PHP bbs just
recommended that site. But XAMPP is working just fine, and right now I
just want to test my PHP and Perl scripts on a local machine. When I
decide to delve into server administration, I'm going to go all out,
and run Apache on a Linux box for all the LAMPalicious goodness!

Anyway, thanks again, to you and everyone else that posted. This will
be my last post on this particular (sub?)topic. (for now)
