If I type the following command in the DOS window:
httpd.exe -k start

Then I got error message:
httpd.exe: Syntax error on line 388 of E:/apache/Apache22/conf/httpd.conf: Cannot load E:/PHP/php5apache2.dll into server: The specified module could not be found.
But I have "php5apache2.dll" file in "e:/PHP/"

Any idea?

Thank you in advance.

Where did you get your "php5apache2.dll"? From PHP.net or from the downloads here?

If you are using Apache 2.2.0 that Steffen built, then you need to use the PHP 5 module that is provided on the Downloads page - http://www.apachelounge.com/download/

Rather than explaining it over again, there are Post here that tell you why this is. In short, it it because the PHP module has to be built with the source code from the web server and version you intend to use - in this case Apache 2.2.0.

Hope this helps.

Thank you.
Now it starts but after displaying warning message:Very HappyVery HappyVery Happy
PHP Startup: Unable to load dl 'e:\php\ext\php_mcrypt.dll' - The specified module could not be found.
If this is same problem, where could I find the module? It's not in the directory you posted.

Nope, this looks like a php configuration issue.


Do you have: php_mcrypt.dll in e:\php\ext' ?

Module: php_mcrypt.dll depends also on libmcrypt.dll , maybe it helps to copy this from you php folder to your c:/windows/ .

Which version of php are you running ?

Steffen,
thank you. Now it is working.
I installed php 512 because 511 doesn't have libmcrypt.dll.

I'm having the same problem, I got apache 2.2 and php 5.1.2 from the downloads page on this site. I follwed the instruction in the zip file but I still get the error:


"Syntax error on line 123 of E:/Program Files/Apache/conf/httpd.conf: Cann
ot load E:/Program Files/Apache/modules/php5apache2.dll into server: The specifi
ed module could not be found."

I check and double checked that the files are in the directory, I even tried to move them to a directory with no spaces and changed the http.conf accordingly with no luck. I'm banging my head against the wall trying to figure out why it won't work, I read all the post on this forum and it seems to work for everyone else.

Windows Xp SP2.

Leoandru,

According to your posted Error Message - You have PHP trying to be LOADED from the folder:

E:/Program Files/Apache/modules/php5apache2.dll

Is this ACTUALLY the PATH to where PHP resides?

In the Apache conf file, what is your LoadModule directive for PHP?

Most people I know and converse with isolate PHP in separate folder away from the Apache tree...something like E:\PHP - such that the LoadModule directive is:

LoadModule php5_module "E:/php/php5apache2.dll"

Yeah I tried moving it to the modules folder and issued the directive

LoadModule /modules/php5apache2.dll

I also tried several other locations and changed the directive accordingly. Not of them worked. I reverted to an older version of apache and different php module cause that works ok for me with no problems. I guess I'll try again one day when time permits.
