Can someone pls help me w. this : "httpd.exe: Syntax error on line 61 of C:/webserver/apache/conf/httpd.conf: Cannot load C:/webserver/php/php5apache2_4.dll into server: The specified module could not be found." this is the error mesg. that I get when I try to activate my copy of the apache server. I have been trying to make that php-apache connection for a while now [to be able to see the phpinfo()file in my web browser] but have utterly failed to do so. I put the statement LoadModule php5_module "c:/webserver/php/php5apache2_4.dll" into the apache httpd.conf file.

First which version of Apache and PHP you use ?

Be sure you download the Thread Safe version of php at http://windows.php.net/download

And be sure that you do not mix Win32 and Win64.

To answer your qiuestion of me I tried to install this version of apache : "httpd-2.2.25-win32-x86-openssl-0.9.8y" and I run a 64 bit win 7 home premium box. and as far the php, it is version "php-5.5.6-Win32-VC11-x86". besides the obvious conflicts between 32 and 64 bit is there anything else causing me not to get that php-apache connection going [to be able to see the phpinfo() file in my browser]?

That's not the problem, you can run 32bit apps on 64bit OS all day long. The problem is you got your Apache from here:
http://www.apache.org/dist/httpd/binaries/win32/

The PHP website clearly states
Quote:
If you are using PHP with Apache 1 or Apache2 from apache.org (not recommended) you need to use the older VC6 versions of PHP compiled with the legacy Visual Studio 6 compiler. Do NOT use VC9+ versions of PHP with the apache.org binaries.


That older VC6 version is 5.2.x which they do not even distribute any longer.

Translation....
" Cannot load C:/webserver/php/php5apache2_4.dll
into server: C:/webserver/apache/conf/httpd.conf

This is because the php utilized by your apache should be here:
C:/xxxxxx/apache/php/....
not here
C:/xxxxxx/php/....


So copy everything
from: C:/xxxxxx/php/....
to: C:/xxxxxx/apache/php/....

And then within C:/xxxxxx/apache/conf/httpd.conf it should specify the C:/xxxxxx/apache/php/xxxx location


This fixed it for me...

You will see this error if you don't have the correct C++ Redistributable.

It's odd that the error says that the file isn't there when in fact it's just that you've not got the right C++ to read it, but that's life.

The VC11 builds require the Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2012. There's a note on the left-hand nav here: http://windows.php.net/download/
