Description:
------------
Windows xp + apache 2.2.9 + php 5.3.0-dev

In httpd.conf, i have following configuration for php: 
[code]
# For PHP 5 do something like this:
LoadModule php5_module "h:/server/php53/php5apache2_2.dll"
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps

# configure the path to php.ini
PHPIniDir "h:/server/php53"
[/code]

On php5.3, i have to copy php53\php5ts.dll to %windir%. Otherwise there is a popup error when i have windows started which has apache crashed on starting up(i have apache2 installed as a system service and have it running automatically ), and when i tried to start apache again with 'httpd -k start', a similar error was popup-ed.

So, %windir%\php5ts.dll of php5.3 seems to be necessary, but when i have php5ts.dll cp-ed to \windows and then apache running, i can remove %windir%\php5ts.dll as i want.

Hmm, that makes me feel that the php5ts.dll under %windir% is not necessary as it looks like. So i took a test:
[code]
C:\WINDOWS>
C:\WINDOWS>move php5ts.dll _php5ts.dll

C:\WINDOWS>echo > php5ts.dll

C:\WINDOWS>dir *php5*
 ?????? C ?еľ?û?б?ǩ??
 ???????к??? E854-17BC

 C:\WINDOWS ??Ŀ¼

2008-08-10  16:05                21 php5ts.dll
2008-07-31  23:42         5,251,128 _php5ts.dll
               2 ???ļ?      5,251,149 ?ֽ?
               0 ??Ŀ¼ 20,189,646,848 ?????ֽ?

C:\WINDOWS>type php5ts.dll
ECHO ???ڴ???״̬??

C:\WINDOWS>httpd -k restart
Warning: DocumentRoot [H:/SVN/newborn/pages] does not exist

C:\WINDOWS>
[/code]
It works normally as it should be.

The conclusion is, i dont really have a php5ts.dll copied to %windir%, but i have, at least, a file named php5ts.dll there, no matter what is in it, if i wanna my apache+php5.3 work

Works on XP, 2k8, 2k3 and Vista. With apache 2.2 and 2.0.

Be sure to have a clean install without old dlls lying around.

> Otherwise there is a popup error when i have windows started 

What says this popup?

title: httpd.exe - application error

message body:
