I'm having trouble getting PHP 5.2 running under Apache 2.4.
 
 
I have downloaded php-5.2.17-Win32-VC6-x86.zip from windows.php.net, and php5apache2_4.dll-php-5.2-win32.zip from Apache Lounge. Apache 2.4 (httpd-2.4.43-win32-VC15) also from Apache Lounge.
 
 
I can run Apache with PHP disabled, and I can run PHP directly from the commandline, but I can't get them to work together.
 
 
Error in the event log is:
 
 	  | Quote: | 	 		  The Apache service named  reported the following error:
 
>>> httpd.exe: Syntax error on line 585 of C:/Program Files (x86)/Apache Group/Apache24/conf/httpd.conf: Cannot load C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Apache Group\\Apache24\\PHP 5.2.17\\php5apache2_4.dll into server: The Apache service named is not a valid Win32 application.     . |

I thought I'd try falling back to Apache 2.2, since it natively supports PHP 5.2. 
 
Still no luck. Different error:

Again, Apache runs if I comment out PHPIniDir and LoadModule php5_module from httpd.conf.
 
 
Does this imply that there's a problem in the PHP configuration? |

That old version of PHP does not run as a module inside the newer of Apache. It could, but the compiler version if different, so it doesn't. However you can run that PHP version with mod_fcgid. See https://www.apachelounge.com/viewtopic.php?t=2394
 
 
if you still have a question please ask again. |
