Can't get Apache to load C:/PHP/php5apache2_2.dll in Windows

Hi,

This is what I have on my computer

PHPIniDir "C:/environment/php5.2.8/"
LoadModule php5_module "C:/environment/php5.2.8/php5apache2_2.dll"

this was in the httpd.config file;

the php is installed in c:/environment/php etc

I do not have the php folder in the path.

The dll is not loaded by windows - thus you don't need to have it in the
path - but by apache where is mentioned 100%;

btw, if it still does not work:

- uninstall php
- get the installation kit msi from the website http://www.php.net
- install it
- focus the point where it asks whether you want to configure the apache for
you, then you gotta specify the conf folder of your apache installation

then restart the apache and it will work.

Regards,
Daniel

see my message; it is probably something wrong with your file name or you
did not specify the full path, something - if everything does not work, try
the php msi installer and a brand new apache installation as well and that
one gotta work

Can't figure out why I keep getting this error when starting
Apache5.2_2 in Windows Vista.

"Cannot load C:/PHP/php5apache2_2.dll
The specified module could not be found."


I installed Apache, then installed PHP. I modified the httpd.conf
file for Apache to set up directories and added

LoadModule php5_module "C:/PHP/php5apache2_2.dll"

but that line throws the "Cannot load..." message.

The .dll file really is located in the directory C:/PHP/.

I'm new to Apache and PHP, but basically pretty computer literate --
Windows and Linux. I'm hoping that someone can tell me what I am not
doing correctly.

Thanks.

On windows, path are like c:\Windows\system32
Use backslashes \, not slashes.
So, try LoadModule php5_module "C:\PHP\php5apache2_2.dll" :)

This isn't the problem. Forward slashes work quite well in Windows - in
fact, even better than backslashes, which may be taken as an escape
character.

Are the PHP DLLs available to Apache? This is normally done by placing
the PHP directory in your Windows PATH statement.

Tried that -- makes no difference. Apache treats the two as synonymous
on a Windows system. Also tried changing case -- again no difference.

Yup. I checked. The PHP install added C:\PHP to the beginning of the
path variable.

it seems that, in the LoadModule section, the targets don't need quotation
marks ("") around it. It's worth giving it a try

Tried that too -- same result.
I'm really stumped on this one.
