Topic: problems with apache 2.2.15 with php 5.x

[vkimura]

Hi,

I uninstalled my older apache 2.x (from 2007) from my vista control panel. When I installed my apache it works fine. I load some basic html page. But as soon as I add in the following lines to the httpd.conf file:
LoadModule php5_module "C:/Program Files/PHP532/php5apache2_2.dll"
PHPIniDir "C:/Program Files/PHP532"

It can't start. I also had to change the port to 8080 rather than use the usual 80. Here is what I've done thus far:
------

After Iinstalled php 5.3.2 my apache wouldn't start on my Vista Home premium. So I uninstalled the php but apache still wouldn't start. Then I backed up my files and downloaded the latest stable apace 2.2.15. I receive this error about make_sock couldn't bind with 0.0.0.0:80.

So I read on some forum to kill the PID using netsat -ano. It was PID 4 using port 80.

I tried to force kill it using:
taskkill /F /PID 4
but I receive a access denied error.
I ran it as administrator. I'm logged in as admin too.

So I tried going to the windows services and right clicked on the apache service but I receive this error:

So I then went to my system logs:

in the details tab I have this info:

---------------------
I'm thinking when I uninstalled my older version of apache (can't remember what version) from the control panel I'm having problem getting apache to run with php. It can run without it though.

So I'm thinking perhaps a good registry cleaner and/or compiling apache from source.

But how do I compile from source? I've never done it on a windows though I've compile amp for mac and centos.

Any other suggestions? Apologize this is a long thread. Any help is appreciated.

kind regards,

look in Apache's error log. There may be a hint in there.
