|
|
Hi folks. I'm a complete newbie when it comes to servers. I downloaded Apache so that I could test PHP-based websites without having to upload to my hosting service.
I've got everything installed, including the replacement dll file supplied on this site, but when I try to start Apache, it gives me an error (somewhat like the one in the thread title), saying that it can't find the dll file. I have the correct file path specified in the httpd file, but Apache, for one reason or another, can't seem to find it.
What am I doing wrong?
What do I need to do to get it up and running?
Thanks a bunch in advance.

it think the path from the loaded file is wrong. Did you use quotes in the path? |

I apologize for leaving out the version. It's 2.2.2, with PHP 5.1.4
I'm running Win XP Pro SP2.
And yes, I'm trying to get it up with PHP. I found a PDF file from a gent who described how to set it all up (including links to your new dll file). |

James,
No quotes in the path. Should there be?
Just tried quotes...didn't make a difference. |

you does the config part look like? Please post!
Code: | # For PHP 5
LoadModule php5_module "E:/Dev/PHP/php5apache2.dll"
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php-source .phps
# configure the path to php.ini
PHPIniDir "E:/Dev/PHP"

Sure you have downloaded the php5apache2.dll from here and followed the instructions in the readme ?

Could it be that I didn't have the .Net framework? Could that be causing the error? |

Hello Everyone,
I just wanted to say a thank you for this thread. I was pulling my hair out trying to get all of this to work and allways getting the same error message, no matter what I done. Then I came across a link to this forum on the PHP forum and clicked it just to see what was here. I found this thread and it's like, "Wow,this is what's happening with mine. I installed the c++ add-on from Microsoft, and replaced "php5apache2.dll" with the one from above, (the origonal came from "Apache" and not from "PHP" so I'm not sure that was nessary, but I did anyway), and everything started just fine. Proublem solved just that easily. Now if I can just get the "permissions" strightened out.
BTW... I am running Windows XP Media Center, on an AMD Athlon 64X2 Dual Core , with 2GB Ram and 250GB HD. I have installed; "MySQL 5.0.22", "Apache 2.2.2", and "PHP 5.1.4". I intend to use this set-up as a website developement server to test php scripts for the new website I am building to replace my current site. It's amazing how much I've learned in the last few months. When I started this project back in March, it was a test to see if I could learn to wright "HTML". As I picked up on the "HTML", I quickly found that I needed to learn a little about "Javascript", as well. Then, as things started to come together, I wanted to add a feature that requires "server side" scripts. So now I'm learning to use "PHP" and all the server stuff that goes along with it. My new site is about 90% complete as a "static" html site. Now if I can just figure out the php script that I need, I should be able to get it finished.
Again, thanks for the informative postings. Couldn't have done it without you.
Thanks;
Danny S. aka Dangerous Dan |
