yshua Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 Dear Forum extreme people: Am using Windows 7, Apache2.2.17, PHP5.2.17, MySQL5.1.65. Am getting the original emsg when installing PHP and Apache2.2.17 a year ago, but clueless again as to why.... The module, "php5apache2.dll," exists in all possible locations: httpd.exe: Syntax error on line 496 of C:/Program Files (x86)/Apache Software Foundation/Apache2.2/conf/httpd.conf: Cannot load C:/PHP/php5apache2.dll into server: The specified module could not be found. Here are the offensive lines at the bottom of httpd.conf: LoadModule php5_module "c:/php/php5apache2.dll" AddType application/x-httpd-php .php #configure the path to php.ini PHPIniDir "C:/php/" Have googled the above emsg without any answers working. And, perhaps someone with experience could recommend a needed PHP version to work, besides the PHP5.3.8 that used to work on my system before having to reinstall Windows 7 on this server?

PFMaBiSmAd Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 (edited) The dll that you use with apache 2.2 is - php5apache2_2.dll though I'm not sure that alone is causing the error you are getting.

yshua Posted November 4, 2012 Author Share Posted November 4, 2012 Dear PFMaBiSmAd: I goofed! You are quite right. However, that still failed to fix the madness. Same error, only with httpd.exe: Syntax error on line 496 of C:/Program Files (x86)/Apache Software Foundation/Apache2.2/conf/httpd.conf: Cannot load C:/PHP/php5apache2_2.dll into server: The specified module could not be found. Now it simply returns your correction to me. Just in case, here is the new capitalized PHP and C:/ version of last four lines: LoadModule php5_module "C:/PHP/php5apache2_2.dll" AddType application/x-httpd-php .php #configure the path to php.ini PHPIniDir "C:/PHP/" Thanks again!

yshua Posted November 4, 2012 Author Share Posted November 4, 2012 Dear forum people: Success at last (over a month)! Broke it down that the PHP file might need to be the original PHP5.3.8, and found a PHP directory lying around and it restarted perfectly. Thanks, PFMaBiSmAd, because that little typo could have cost me a lot! Well, something for the detail conscious.... Thanks everyone, Yshua Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n00 Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 Hi Yshua, I hope you're still here, it's been a year since you posted. Could you elaborate on your solution to the problem? I'm getting the same error; a fresh install of Apache and PHP,and the file that it says could not be found is definitely there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
