Author Getting php4 to run as module in apache2

2004-12-29, 2:47 am

When I put the following three lines in my hppd.conf (as per the php install
instructions):

LoadModule php4_module "c:/php/php4apache2.dll"
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
PHPIniDir "c:/php"

I get the following error in the console (not even the log file) on startup:

Syntax error on line 987 of c:/..../httpd.conf:
Cannot load C:/Php/php4apache2.dll into server: One of the library files
needed to run this application cannot be found.
Note the errors and press the <esc> key to exit.

The php4apache2.dll is in the correct directory.
Can anyone give me a hint as to what might be missing?

In the meantime, I'm running as a cgi.

Regards,

Dan

I always had trouble getting PHP4 to find it's dlls in the PHP
directory. I finally put the necessary ones (php4apache.dll,
php4ts.dll, and my.ini) in Windows\system32 and all was well.

Since then, I've installed PHP5 and it finds it's dlls wherever I tell
it to look.

Thanks! On my old creaky win 98 system, I put php4ts.dll in Windows, and it
works now (I left the ini and php4apache2.dll in c:\php).

I went with php4 'cause I couldn't figure out how to enable mysql support,
but now that I've researched the answer, I'll upgrade soon.

Thanks for your help,

Dan

It took me a little while, but I got this working as well, so ask if
you want advice when the time comes.

You're welcome. Thanks for the follow-up - that's almost unheard of in
this newsgroup.

Will PHP5 run on Win98 SE or is XP or NT required?
I haven't tried PNP5 yet, afraid of consequences on my creaker.
Thanks,
Mike
