The following problem is most probably caused by Apache, not PHP, but this report may be useful to you.


_______________Summary: 

After adding the necessary lines in httpd.conf to register the PHP module, Apache service cannot be started.
The Windows event viewer reports:
"The Apache service named  reported the following error:>>> Cannot load C:/PHPmod/sapi/php4apache.dll into server: The specified module could not be found."
But the dll is right where it should be, and with appropriate permissions set!


_______________Details:
Apache version: 2.0.35

As instructed in install.txt on your distribution, 
I added the following lines to the Modules section in httpd.conf:
#----------PHP-------------
LoadModule php4_module c:/PHPmod/sapi/php4apache.dll
AddModule mod_php4.c
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
#--------------------------

I am using the "c:\PHPmod" directory because c:\php contains the CGI distribution of PHP4.1.1 wich I use with a Xitami Webserver and for processing scripts.

I tried to move the dll around a bit (like in the apache mods directory) and experimented with the path (trying windows slashes, omitting "c:" etc).

Later on, I read the PHP install directions and noticed I hadn't copied php.ini in the windows directory. So I copied php.ini-distr , renamed it and edited the "extension_dir" setting as instructed. But that didn't fix the problem.



Thank you
