Can you try latest RC and see if the problem still exists

http://phpuk.org/~james/php-4.1.0RC3-win32.zip

Feedback.

Scuse me .. but i've tried to install new version
php-4.1.0RC3-win32
overwriting files with new version but when i try to restart Apache fails and give an error:
can't found php4apache.dll in c:/.... but I've overwrite old version with new!
I have also seen that are many new files that are not present in old version ( *.pdb *.ilk and a file php4apahe2filter.dll and .ilk)..
How I can install this version correctly?
Tnx

Put your php4apche.dll in the same directory as apache (might work) or in the sytem32 directory (should work).

I have overwritten php4apache.dll with new version...but apache tell me "i can't find php4apache.dll" (it can't use new file) I have also tried to insert php4apache in system32 and windows directories but doesn't work!
Where is the problem? 

Try the new 4.1.0 release which will be available withing a day or two.

Feedback.

I might be mistaken, but AFAIK you point Apache via httpd.conf to php4apache.dll. You can put that dll anywhere you want, as long as Apache knows the right path.
php4ts.dll on the contrairy, should be located in your windows/system32 directory.

But I don't think that solves your problem. I think the problem is that XP has some kind of firewall built in, which probably denies any incoming connections. You should open port 80 somewhere in your controlpanel... don't ask my where as I don't have XP yet...

By default the "firewall" is not enabled.

But JIC you can check by doing this (may be faster way)

Control Panel->Network Connections
  Right Click on Network Bridge
  Choose Properties
  Choose TCP/IP From Items List
  Click Properties
  Click Advanced
  Click Options
  Highlight TCP/IP Filtering
  Click Properites
  Either Allow Port 80 if Filtering is enabled and Port 80 is blocked or disable filtering.

I have verified but i don't have any firewall installed.
Other people have same problem. I don't know why this problem happens, I think I've read all possible news about but I don't have found any solution.
Have you replicated this problem in lab?
I hope in 4.1.0 release....  

Any news with 4.1.0?

Yes, only way is to use PHP as CGI NOT as module because module has many problem! But using CGI I can't use function getallheader() to support resume with download :-((

I have exactly the same problem, on a remote computer the long page show many strange chars, and I have to refresh the page few time before it show correctly. And that's when I'm in cgi...

With php as a module, i got some 404 errors, and much more errors of loading...

My server is running on Apache 1.3.22 (as a nt service), with PHP 4.1.1 under XP Pro whithout any firewall (xp or third party ones).

And I've tried to move the php4apache.dll in the system directory, but it don't seem to change anything (em, it should be normal ? :) )

(i've also tried the compatibility mode with the application, don't work too :/)

(and sorry for my bad English, i'm Frensh ;) )

Same problem.  Under 2k works fine but under xp there're some problems : sometimes i see a portion of the code instead of the page and i've to refresh the page 3 or 4 times to make it good.

Hello,


I had tryed all of the above, long time ago.

Problems are in the Windows XP.

Second, Why use Windows XP as an server plattform?
The most unrealiable so far. Choose Windows 2000 Pro or Server if you want w32 as your server.

There is some information about this issues posted Apache's website telling that Microsoft is working on their problems, but there is not update yet.

Most users do not know that XP is cousing this problem, and they start 
accusing PHP or Apache for thier problems.

Some of the problems:

- When users browse your PHP pages on the web,
  - Web Pages are reloading all the time
  - They are cut in the middle and not completely displayed

Acctually, Windows XP is not ment to be used as an Server plattform yet, and no hosts are using it today, beacuse it's an unproven as a server technology.

That last comment explains it quite well. Use W2k if you
really need to use Windows. 

Like the rest, i've now got the same problem of 404 errors randomily occuring. Seems to mainly occur when using frames. The weird thing is that I had it all up and running without any errors a few weeks ago.  Since then I have re-installed my server and set everything back up to how it originally was.  The only thing i've done different this time was to install XP on a NTFS partition rather than just plain FAT32.  Im wondering if there is some sort of access rights issue here ?.
