Dear Ch0cu3r: Was reading up on literature and found two theories: One person complained that JavaScript, which is used in my php code was losing its header and trailer in Apache Tomcat.... Other literature said that using mod-proxy-html you have to somewhere type, xml2EncDefault iso-8859-1, but would sure like to know where and how.... Because the header uses charset iso 8859-1 instead of UTF-8! So anyway, this is excellent opportunity to read up and down in all the mod-ssl literature. Always DID want to be more familiar with all its details. Am still much happier working on this strange development compared to blindly forging ahead before without anything up and running. Will certainly keep you posted on what resolves this momentary dilemma. Yshua

Dear forum wrestlers: Finally found a good mix of MySQL 5.1.65, win8.1, Apache 2.4.9 ssl-win32,0.9.8-VC9 (from Apachelounge), and php-win32-VC9-x86 (thread safe!). Openssl seems to be working also. But somehow lost the headers and trailers on the menus! Does anyone know what may be wrong? Thanks always, Yshua

Dear people: Made a huge oversight! Seems obvious NOW that Win32 style php, or any other package needs to be located in Program Files (x86) to stay under windows 32 architecture for windows 32 packages. A visiting programmer who will remain nameless complained about copying of files that were in the Program Files (x86) directory being harder to copy. So, halfway to please him, the packages were put in the C:/ directory, and all kinds of x32 vs. x64 compatibility issues arose! Aye, aye, aye.... Thanks for incredible patience, Yshua

Dear Ch0cu3r: Found the problem. All x86 php and/or Apache installs need to be installed in the Program Files (x86) directory, instead of the C:/ directory!!!!! And while you're at it, you might as well install the MySQL directory in the Program Files (x86) directory as well. To make it clearer, ANY php or Apache install with the Win32 feature in it are "odds on" candidates to be installed in the Program Files (x86) directory! Forego the x64 versions if at all possible, especially when you realize VERY DEEP discrepancies in coding exist for the Win32 vs. Win64 logic. But you may still have A CHANCE to install Win32-x64 versions with your Windows 32 OS, but ONLY in the Program Files (x86) directory!!! Thanks for the helpful and informative advice on the way to the light going on, Yshua

Oh, excuse me again, Ch0cu3r: The following was written under a search for that original emsg, and this came up: appcmd set apppool /apppool.name:MyAppPool32bit /enable32BitAppOnWin64:false NOTE : By default, it is false. Supposedly this is a command in an IIS 6.0 or IIS7 server. But we should be able to start up any program, such as Apache or php in 32 bit or 64 bit mode, if somebody knows the workaround. Perhaps this is a new issue, Yshua

Dear Ch0cu3r: Got this version from Apachelounge.com as well. This is possibly affirmation to me that the Apache2.2.27 x64 is for non php configured servers! So the complete migration to higher Apache 2.4 is practically a necessity. MySQL 5.5+ was required to let Windows 64 pull up my database! Thanks for the needed input, Yshua

Dear PHP People: Have Windows 8 x64 pc, with Apache httpd-2.2.27-win64, and php-5.5.11-Win32-VC11-x64, and MySQL 5.5.37. But am unable to find any x64 compatible php5apache2_2.dll or 2_4.dll. All of these dll files give the following error: httpd: Syntax error on line 131 of C:/Apache2.2/conf/httpd.conf: Cannot load C:/php/php5apache2_2.dll into server: %1 is not a valid Win32 application. Perhaps the Apache 2.2.27-win64 version is incompatible with PHP windows x64 version? Does anyone have experience with this, or know another php5apache....dll file which works? Please let me know quick, Yshua

Dear Ch0cu3r: Took all but one of the extensions out with semicolons, but same errors. Perhaps this website is the same bug? comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.apache.httpd.bugs/7298 Am still awaiting installation after verification by the SSL Cert. provider.... Thanks, Yshua

Dear Ch0cu3r: Just checked on error, "[core notice]... AH00094," and googling says something about the SSL Certificate which has yet to be installed. Will do it now, but that normally takes me a day or so to install from the past. Will let you know.... Thank you, Yshua

Dear Ch0cu3r: Oooops! Left the semicolon in front of the line! You were right again. Here are the remaining emsgs: [Mon Feb 24 08:18:07.788595 2014] [mpm_winnt:notice] [pid 12436:tid 392] AH00354: Child: Starting 64 worker threads.

Thank you, Yshua

Dear Ch0cu3r: Already tried that, with or without quotes as "America/Denver," so it has to be something else. Yshua

More evidence: Ch0cu3r just helped me over some basic PHP ext. emsgs. Now these may be stopping phpinfo from appearing longer than a brief flash and then the browser goes out of connection. Here are the remaining emsgs: [Mon Feb 24 06:43:40.671299 2014] [:error] [pid 6948:tid 924] [client ::1:55072] PHP Warning: phpinfo(): It is not safe to rely on the system's timezone settings.

Could any of these be the cause? Yshua

Dear Ch0cu3r: That worked beautifully, and seems so obvious now! Thanks, Yshua

Something else to report: The phpinfo.php screen keeps flashing up once, and then connection fails. The access.log has zero lines added and the error.log is only source code failures to load back to back php extensions such as Curl, bz2, openssl, etc. Yshua

Dear PHP People: Unaware how to handle series of emsgs as following: PHP Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library 'ext\\php_bz2.dll' - The specified module could not be found.\r\n in Unknown on line 0 PHP Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library 'ext\\php_curl.dll' - The specified module could not be found.\r\n in Unknown on line 0 PHP Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library 'ext\\php_fileinfo.dll' - The specified module could not be found.\r\n in Unknown on line 0 PHP Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library 'ext\\php_gettext.dll' - The specified module could not be found.\r\n in Unknown on line 0 PHP Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library 'ext\\php_gmp.dll' - The specified module could not be found.\r\n in Unknown on line 0 PHP Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library 'ext\\php_imap.dll' - The specified module could not be found.\r\n in Unknown on line 0 Can someone be so kind as to show me what more to do after loading bz2, curl, fileinfo, gettext, gmp, and imap folders into the php/ext/ folder? Thank you, Yshua

New discovery, friends: Just finished checking the Task Manager to find two (2) Apache HTTP Server (32 bit) tasks running EVERY TIME THE APACHE SERVER IS RESTARTED from the little red/green flag in the hidden icons, lower right corner. So, with zero Apache Server tasks running, the refresh button on the browser quickly returns again with, "It Works." However, index.php is programmed ahead of index.html in httpd.conf file line and the single line in index.php of <?php phpinfo(); ?> seemingly should pull up. Php5apache2_4.dll was used from the Apachelounge.com download of versions 5.4 and the one selected was for version 5.4.7 to match the version of PHP 5.4.7 which is downloaded. So perhaps the main question now is why does Starting the Apache server from an icon start the server twice?? Thanks for all the help, Yshua

Dear readers: Am complying 100%, even for dumping the package (compiler) my programs are written in!!!! Now installed MySQL 5.5.36, latest reliable offered on MySQL site, along with the latest V11 Apache 2.4.7 and PHP5.5.9 VC11 on Windows 8, 8.1. MySQL and Apache are fine with all the aforementioned 2012 R2 30 day trial version packages above uninstalled and only vcredist_x64.exe and vcredist_x86.exe of Microsoft Visual C++ 2012 Redistributable files installed. Would some other files from those redistributable ones need installing as well, do you think? At any rate, Apache returns "It Works!" but when the php5apache2_4.dll logic is included, "Waiting for localhost," goes on on the websbrowser tab indefinitely.... Would more Visual C++ Redistributable package files downloaded do the trick? Ready for the bare truth, Yshua

Dear mac_gyver and Ch0cu3r: OK, will comply 100%, even for dumping the package (compiler) my programs are written in!!!!

Dear mac_gyver: Oh, and still need x86 because of a few compilers using win32 for my limited applications. Yshua

Dear mac_gyver: Am using Windows 8/8.1. Am currently downloading Redistributable C++ files for Visual Server 2012. Will likely only have about five users at a time on one server. But will be employing MySQL 5.1 at this time as well. These are the 2012 applications run...: wdexpress_full application VS2012_WebExp_enu disk image file VS2012_WDX_ENU disk image file VS2012.4 application vs_ultimate_download application vs_ultimate application vs_professional application vns_full application TypeScriptSetup.0.9.5 HTM file TypeScriptSetup.0.9.5 application PowerPivot_for_Excel_x86 Windows Installer patch_KB2781514 update vs_professional_download application Hope these are sufficient, Yshua

Dear Ch0cu3r: Here is the update: Am unsure whether the Visual Server 2012 /R2 needs to be installed yet. Tried to find out how without success yet. At any rate, whether the "ssl" or regular Apache 2.4.7 from Apachelounge.com is used, am unable to get, "It works." Do you need more info from me? Sincerely, Yshua

Dear Beloved Freaks: Perhaps this is the correct download: VisualStudioAuthoringConsole_x86.msi? Have downloaded quite a few Microsoft install downloads in anticipation that one might work. Yshua

Dear PHP Folks: Am looking at the requirements for installing Apache 2.4.7 V9 version from ApacheLounge.com, and one is for Visual Server 2012 /R2. Before talking to a salesman, what is the preferred means of obtaining a download (assuming from Microsoft)? Wanting to plan ahead, Yshua

Dear mac_gyver: The only version absolutely necessary is MySQL 5.1.65 because of an outside package(s). Actually, Kicken is right, that the other versions actually are unnecessary after all, freeing me up from the need for V6. And also just discovered the means to download this version, or similar ones from Microsoft Downloads. Still exciting to find out, but will pass on this question as unneeded after all. Thank you all, Yshua
