ID: 37857 User updated by: CyberSongs at Musics dot net Reported By: CyberSongs at Musics dot net -Status: Feedback +Status: Open Bug Type: Documentation problem Operating System: Windows Server 2003 (R2) PHP Version: Irrelevant New Comment:
Actually, I downloaded both the msi and the zip. While the files for the .dll were there, Apache for Windows refers to .so files, so that there are no relevant .so files still in the zip version for Windows. Now, in general, one can replace a LoadModule in Apache 2 with the .dll equivalent, but also in general if the .so access module and the dynamic shared objects modules are in .so form, they will not find Windows modules that are added as .dll There are workarounds, and I've done them in the past, but Apache 2.2 doesn't seem to like this approach for its Windows versions. The typical result, and the one I'm getting, is that Apache can't find php5apache2.dll even when it is in the correct path! It may be that Windows has two problems: 01.) It does not obey case 02.) It's translation of <blank space> is erroneous In (01), any pointer within the dll with bad case will also fail. In (02) it will see non 802.3 names as the familiar tilded name and simply will not find the dll module. (02) seems to be the most likely cause, since the file is definitely where it belongs, it works flawlessly with php5 in Apache 2.0.48, but not with Apache 2.2 The assumption that Windows Server will be using Internet Informaton Server is more of an assumption than a reality, since most Windows Servers do, in fact, use Apache. It would seem the developers of the Windows side of php simply skipped configuratin for Windows with Apache in these latest releases, PHP5 and Apache2.2 I knew it to be a little more than a documentatin problem, but I am still working on what I see as an actual software bug. As stated, I have tried both, the msi and the zip, neither works.

No external extensions included, get them from the zip and PECL downloads above, and install manually) -- * And since you're using the installer, read the installer specific documentation in the install.txt as it only refers to CGI as the following: -- The Windows PHP installer is available from the downloads page at http://www.php.net/downloads.php. This installs the CGI version of PHP and for IIS, PWS, and Xitami, it configures the web server as well. ... -- It seems clear that this only installs the CGI and you're wanting to install the module. To do that, download the Zip package. The documentation in install.txt may seem a little confusing here because install.txt is generated from the official documentation, and includes all [Windows specific] docs. IMHO this is fine as it shows other (preferred?) methods for installation too. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2006-06-20 06:10:49] CyberSongs at Musics dot net Description: ------------ Install and configuration for Apache2 PHP 5.14; missing files and directories Reproduce code: --------------- N/A Expected result: ---------------- N/A Actual result: -------------- Install and configuration for Apache2 PHP 5.14; missing files and directories: /sapi/ php5apache2.dll Therefore, httpd.conf is not possible. >From the cutout of install.txt which I've posted at : http://www.musics.net/Errors/PHP5/install.short.txt ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=37857&edit=1
