I have installed Apache 2.0.43 as a service on Win 2k with PHP 4.2.3. These are upgrades from Apache 2.0.39 and PHP 4.2.2. Now I had previuosly enabled the following php extensions and they worked fine in the older setup. Now, after the upgrade, they don't.

They are bz2, ctypye, curl, ming, pdf, zlib.
------------------------------------------------------------
The errors are:

php_bz2.dll
Apache.exe - Entry Point Not Found
The procedure entry point php_file_le_fpoen could not be loacted in the dynamice link librart php4ts.dll
Unkown(): Unable to load dynamic library './php_bz.dll' - The procedure could not be found'

Apache.exe - Entry Point Not Found
The procedure entry point php_fopen_wrapper could not be loacted in the dynamice link librart php4ts.dll
Unkown(): Unable to load dynamic library './php_zlib.dll' - The procedure could not be found'

End of errors details.
-----------------------------------------------------------

The workaround works by disabling these extension in the php.ini file but this is not pratical for me long term.

The extension folder is located under :c:/php/extensions.

This problems occured after the upgrade to the latest versions of php and apache.

Please assist, as it would be much appreciated.

Please excuse the spelling mistake : dynamic link librart should be dynamic link library.

From the docs:
----
http://www.php.net/manual/en/printwn/install.apache2.php
----
Note: Apache 2.0 SAPI-support started with PHP 4.2.0. PHP 4.2.3 its known to work in conjunction with Apache 2.0.39. Don't try to use this version of PHP with any other version of Apache. We do not recommend to use PHP 4.2.3 along with Apache 2.0.39.
----

And btw, are you trying 4.2.3 or 4.3.0RC2, you list both in this bug report.  This looks like an Apache2 related bug so the category may want to reflect that but I personally have no idea so won't touch it :)

Hi there

Additional Category: Apache


Just to clarify some points, i am using Apache 2.0.43 not Apache 2.0.39. So does the warning (below), of which I was aware of apply to newer versions of Apache (ie 2.0.40 and later). If its a known issue, then what measure have been taken  to fix it. I believe its a PHP error. Apache runs everything else okay. The apache server environment is only for local development (i.e desktop).

Secondly, I am using 4.2.3, which I downloaded on Saturday, Australian DST.

PS The documentated warning about PHP and apache on windows for sapi seem to contradictory .... comapre these two sentences:

"PHP 4.2.3 its known to work in conjunction with Apache 2.0.39." --- so PHP 4.2.3 works.

"We do not recommend to use PHP 4.2.3 along with Apache 2.0.39." --- so as it works, it is not recommened. Eh?

"Don't try to use this version of PHP with any other version of Apache." --- Is that earlier (older) or later (newer) versions of apache i.e before/after v.2.0.39.

A fuller explaination would be preferable.

I know that a the PHP 4.2.2 sapi worked with Apache 2.0.39, via console set up (not as a service) - although it was fiddley and a manual start up - but no errors.

PHP with Apache 2 support is experimental.  If you want something that will for sure work use Apache 1.3.xx instead.  But if you're bored, try downloading the latest PHP, which is 4.3.0RC2, and see if it works with that.  A link can be found here:

http://qa.php.net/

Those docs are a little odd but it basically says what is known to work (PHP 4.2.3 + Apache 2.0.39) and that any other combo will most likely NOT work.  User beware.  Apache 2 + PHP is not recommended right now.

This is a known issue and being worked on.
