Description:
------------
Description:

Apache crashes when loading the php5apache2_2.dll module.

**** NOTE ****

Other bugs are similar, but use Apache 2.2.9, XP SP2, multiple versions of PHP on same machine, etc...



PHP version: 5.3.5
Apache Version: 2.2.17

I should note that the properties on my php.exe and php-win.exe files claim it to be version 5.2.17.17. 

Installer files:
PHP: php-5.3.5-win32-VC6-x86
Apache: httpd-2.2.17-win32-x86-openssl-0.9.8o


Other information:

Installed PHP on my XP x86 laptop over the network using the exact same files I used to install it on my desktop (running 7 Ultimate x64). Works fine on Windows 7.


Test script:
---------------
Reproducing code:

Not applicable; Apache crashes before any code is run.


Adding:

#BEGIN PHP INSTALLER EDITS - REMOVE ONLY ON UNINSTALL
LoadModule php5_module "php5apache2_2.dll"
PHPIniDir "C:/Program Files/PHP"
#END PHP INSTALLER EDITS - REMOVE ONLY ON UNINSTALL

To httpd.conf blows up Apache (and yes, the php5apache2_2.dll file is in the Apache module folder).


Expected result:
----------------
Expected result:

Apache works with PHP5.

Actual result:
--------------
Actual result:

Apache goes tits up:


Apache error file:

Windows event viewer:

Faulting application httpd.exe, version 2.2.17.0, faulting module php5ts.dll, version 5.3.5.0, fault address 0x0008582b.


**** NOTE ****

Sometimes, the faulting module is unknown, sometimes it is php5ts.dll. As far as I can tell, this is related to whether or not the phpinidir line is active in the httpd.conf file.

Problem resolved.

PHP 5.3.5 cannot be installed with the default features. The Curl, OpenSSL, and postgreSQL extensions must be disabled.

Many thanks to this guide: http://www.websiteadministrator.com.au/articles/install_guides/installing_php535_pg2.html

I hope there can be some documentation about the different install procedures for XP and 7...

Yes, in the PHP Manual.

There is no bug, simply be sure to hav the required DLLs in place as documented.
 [2011-01-24 20:28 UTC] kjmiller at millikin dot edu 
Well, no... that's not the root of the problem.

The DLL's were all in the proper place - the problem is that the default installer settings do not do what they are supposed to. Notwithstanding the fact that the installer really should move the DLL's to the module folder all on it's own, it doesn't work even when the DLL files are where they are supposed to be.

The root of the problem is that the default settings enable dependencies without informing the user that they are doing so, or which other DLL's need to be copied where.

It's just very surprising that the default settings do not work with one of (if not #1) the most widely distributed OS's in history. I'd call that a bug.
