ID: 52298 Comment by: iajay at yahoo dot com Reported by: murray at math dot umass dot edu Summary: Apache service won't start with PHP enabled Status: Not a bug Type: Bug Package: Apache2 related Operating System: Windows XP Pro (SP3) PHP Version: 5.3.2 Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: This did not solve my problem. Apache didn't start even after doing this. 1. Comment out the PHPIniDir line in the httpd.conf file. 2. Include the full path in the LoadModule line. In my case, I am using Apache2.2 and my PHP directory is C:\PHP so my entry looked like this: LoadModule php5_module "C:/php/php5apache2_2.dll" I got the error " Apache server encountered an error and needs to close" Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2011-08-04 21:57:43] jb at newsoftwaregroup dot com I found it to be modules in the PHP.INI file. Take them all out and see if Apache starts, then add them back and find culprit. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2011-06-04 02:01:13] brianjameson1003 at gmail dot com If this is a Windows 7 issue, I found a fix after much banging my head into the desk! The person who said this was close, but it didn't work for me: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I figured it out by reading some other posts. It may be Windows 7 only thing. I had to manually edit the httpd.conf file under Apache to point PHPIniDir to the PHP location. It seems to be working fine on another 2003 server without having to do this manually. PHPIniDir "C:/Program Files/PHP/" -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Here is what did work: 1. Comment out the PHPIniDir line in the httpd.conf file. 2. Include the full path in the LoadModule line. In my case, I am using Apache2.2 and my PHP directory is C:\PHP so my entry looked like this: LoadModule php5_module "C:/php/php5apache2_2.dll" Once I did that, Apache fired up with no problem and if you open the Apache Monitor, you can confirm that PHP is running. At the bottom it says: Apache/2.2.19(Win32)PHP/5.2.17 Hope that helps many of you out! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2011-02-24 19:58:57] cyue at datalogics dot com I figured it out by reading some other posts.

PHPIniDir "C:/Program Files/PHP/" ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2011-02-24 18:22:12] cyue at datalogics dot com I am having the same problem. I installed Apache 2.2 and PHP 5.3.5 VC6 threaded version, Windows 7 64-bit system. The Apache service can start without PHP installed, but after the PHP is installed, I am getting the error that the php5apache2_2.dll is not found error. Even though it is inside the PHP folder. Any suggestions? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2010-07-21 22:51:22] m...@php.net Sorry, but your problem does not imply a bug in PHP itself.
