module mod_php4.c is already added, skipping

PHP is not being loaded. the module is only being loaded once:

C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache>apache
[Thu Jul 01 14:41:51 2004] [warn] module mod_php4.c is already added,
skipping
[Thu Jul 01 14:41:51 2004] [warn] (2)No such file or directory: exec()
may not be safe
Apache/1.3.31 (Win32) running...

and in the eror log I see:

C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache\logs>type error.log

This might be easier to diagnose if you supply the output of the
following command:
apache -l

and also a list of all of the LoadModule, ClearModuleList and
AddModule directives in your httpd.conf and any other configuration
files you are including.

Also, what version of Apache are you running and did you compile it
yourself or get the binary distribution from apache.org?

Amazingly, PHP isn't in the list. I get the same problem. I'm
running win95b, apache 1.3.31 (2.0.49 just hangs).
C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache>apache -l
Compiled-in modules:
http_core.c
mod_so.c
mod_mime.c
mod_access.c
mod_auth.c
mod_negotiation.c
mod_include.c
mod_autoindex.c
mod_dir.c
mod_cgi.c
mod_userdir.c
mod_alias.c
mod_env.c
mod_log_config.c
mod_asis.c
mod_imap.c
mod_actions.c
mod_setenvif.c
mod_isapi.c

I used the recommended PHP insertions according to the install.txt in
php 4.3.7, as follows:
LoadModule php4_module c:/php4.3.3/sapi/php4apache.dll
AddModule mod_php4.c
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php

besides the virtual hosting, everything else is defaults.

I think removing the AddModule line will make the message go away.
LoadModule automatically adds the resulting module to the list; you
only need AddModule if you include a ClearModuleList directive in
order to re-populate the active module list.

Good luck,

Apache isn't loading the PHP module.

I still get the exec() error msg and no PHP. Apache pretends PHP
isn't there. strangely, PHP files are treated like a download, even
with the AddType directive.

I am not sure why I get multiple errors like this.

Just to follow this up as I didn't see a solution. This had me baffled
too for oooh, all of about 30 seconds. If you look in the httpd.conf
file you can't just put stuff where you want. The PHP4 docs are not
very clear on this.

The document types need to go

#
# Document types need to be added once the mod_mime.c module is
loaded, in this section:

#
<IfModule mod_mime.c>
</IfModule>

the AddModule directive should go after all the other AddModule
directives, eg

....
AddModule mod_setenvif.c
AddModule mod_php4.c


I've replied to this in case anyone searches for the answer with
Google.
