I added these lines to my httpd.conf file:

LoadModule php5_module "c:/php/php5apache2.dll"
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php

I added c:\php to my system path variable.

... but the server will not start. I checked the error log, but it doesn't give any kind of error code. The path is right, the versions are right, is there something I am missing?

I'd even be happy if I could get some kind of helpful error message.

Thanks for any help, this really has me stumped.

Which version of Apache you are running ?

When you start Apache with Debug:

httpd.exe -e debug or for apache 2.0.x apache.exe -e debug

What is the error message you get ?

At first I would say, there is a line missing before loading the module

LoadFile "C:/php/php5ts.dll"

I don't have a 'LoadFile' line in my conf file.

I run Apache 2.2.2 with PHP 5.1.4. Be usre you are using the 'php5apache2.dll' you can find on this site. Mine didn't work until I downloaded that module. The version that ships with 5.1.x didn't work with 2.2.2.

My conf looks like:
Code:
#------------------------------------------
# -- php5 --
LoadModule php5_module "c:/Programs/php/php5apache2.dll"
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php

# configure the path to php.ini
PHPIniDir "C:/Programs/php"
#------------------------------------------


I didn't add anything to my system Path for finding the php.ini file. The 'PHPIniDIr' line in the conf does that.

I also added index.php to the 'DirectoryIndex' directive.

Code:
<IfModule dir_module>
#    DirectoryIndex index.html
#----------------------------
    DirectoryIndex index.html index.php index.html.var
#----------------------------
</IfModule>


That's the only php related changes I made to my conf file.

I download PHP 5.1.4 form www.php.net/downloads.php (zip + pecl)
Downloaded the Module form this page. replaced the php5apache2.dll
and copied httpd.exe.manifest to apache\bin folder.

my config
Code:

PHPIniDir "/server2/php"
LoadFile "/server2/php/php5ts.dll"
LoadModule php5_module "/server2/php/php5apache2.dll"
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php


(I know that the Driveletter is missing, but this is a trick to use it on a usb-stick. The Path could be C:\server2\php and C:\server2\apache\bin )

What does php5ts.dll do?
My install seems to be working fine without it.

You're right. PHP5 will work without loading php5ts.dll early versions from PHP5 needed it. I took a look in the manual. And now it is not needed anymore. My fault. Sorry

check in system logs (start->run and type "eventvwr") in "application" branch - I find there a lot of hints...
