[users@httpd] Apache 2.0.43 and PHP 4.3.0 on Windows - Problems
Hi All,
I've been having a heck of a time over the last few days with PHP, MySQL and
now Apache on Windows - they all work great on Linux, but hey, what do you
expect..
Anyway. I installed Apache and it worked fine, I then installed PHP and all
tests show it works fine - but when I try to get the PHP modules loaded for
Apache in httpd.conf, the Apache server won't start. The only error I get is
a Windows error box that says "The requested operation has failed". There is
nothing in the apache logs. If I un-comment these lines - Apache will
start.
I have followed the instructions in the PHP help file which I have included
below, but have no idea where to go from here as I'm really not sure what
the problem is due to a lack of logs or errormessages letting me know where
to look next.
Any help is appreciated.
TIA
Installing PHP for Apache as module
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Now that version 4.1 introduces a safer sapi module, we recommend
that you configure PHP as a module in Apache.
To accomplish this, you have to load the php4apache.dll in your
Apache httpd.conf.
!! NOTE !!
Whereever you load php4apache.dll from, php4apache.dll also
needs the php4ts.dll also included in the PHP4 distribution.
php4apache.dll depends on php4ts.dll which is loaded as soon as
Apache loads php4apache.dll. If php4ts.dll can't be found, you
usually get an error like (also see the "Problems?" section at
the end of the file):
Cannot load c:/php/sapi/php4apache.dll into server
So where does php4ts.dll has to be to be properly loaded ?
php4ts.dll is searched in the following order:
1) in the directory where apache.exe is start from
2) in the directory where php4apache.dll is loaded from
3) in your %SYSTEMROOT%\System32, %SYSTEMROOT%\system and
%SYSTEMROOT% directory.
Note: %SYSTEMROOT%\System32 only applies to Windows NT/2000/XP)
4) in your whole %PATH%
Note: What is %SYSTEMROOT% ? Depending on your Windows
installation this may be for example c:\winnt or C:\windows
Usually you would just copy it over to %SYSTEMROOT%\System32.
But if you want to have multiple PHP installations (for
whatever reason) this is a bad idea. For this circumstance the
safest thing is to let php4ts.dll reside in the same directory
where php4apache.dll is loaded from (see point 2 above).
After you've set up the file layout properly, you're ready to
finally configure Apache to load the PHP4 module. Just add the
following lines to your httpd.conf:
LoadModule php4_module c:/php/sapi/php4apache.dll
AddModule mod_php4.c
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
Note: Especially newer versions of Apache do not need the
AddModule directive anymore, your milage may vary.
Where do I have to put the php.ini ?
The php.ini files is only searched in two places:
1) in your Apache installation directory (e.g. c:\apache\apache)
2) in your %SYSTEMROOT% directory.

I had the exact same problem, you never read the archives of this list, I
listed the solution for it already.
Just copy the php4apache2.dll file from the sapi directory to the PHP root
directory and you'll see it's all running.
Also, you would like to check the newest stable version from
http://snaps.php.net
All the best,
Jeff Cohen

Posted by Listuser <li...@rogers.com>.
Further info about my problem: The event viewer says that the file (the php
.dll file) can not be found. However, the file is there and in the
directory(s) specified in the PHP install manual.
