I am trying to install PHP (using php-5.2.6-win32.msi) to work with my Apache server setup and I am having no luck. This is a simple, standalone installation for educational & testing purposes, using localhost. The OS is Windows XP Prof SP2 with Apache v2.2.8 which works fine. I am the only user and I have Administrator privileges on all folders.
On installation I get a several error messages such as: ------------------------------------------------------------------- "Error trying access the local web service. GetObject failed. You will need to manually configure the web server." ------------------------------------------------------------------- "There is s problem with the Windows Installer package. A script required for this install to complete could not be run. Contact your support personnel or software vendor." ------------------------------------------------------------------- When I check the httpd.conf file, the PHP installation inserted the following lines. ScriptAlias /php/ "C:/Program Files/PHP/" Action application/x-httpd-php "C:/Program Files/PHP/php-cgi.exe" PHPIniDir "C:/Program Files/PHP/" LoadModule php5_module "C:/Program Files/PHP/php5apache2_2.dll" PHPIniDir "C:/Program Files/PHP/" LoadModule php5_module "C:/Program Files/PHP/php5apache2.dll" PHPIniDir "C:/Program Files/PHP/" LoadModule php5_module "C:/Program Files/PHP/php5apache.dll" The path is correct and the .dll files exist and when I restart Apache to register the changes, it crashes and I get a series of missing .dll error messages, starting with: ------------------------------------------------------------------- "The application has failed to start because OCI.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem". ------------------------------------------------------------------- I also downloaded the zip installation file and there is no such file as OCI.dll. The Apache error log file contents are in the attached text file. What am I doing wrong? Any help is appreciated.
