Apache won't start after installing php5

[horseatingweeds]

I just installed the latest version of Apache2. It is running fin, form what I can tell.

 

After installing php5, it won't restart.

 

I have Apache's files in C:/

php is in C:/php5

 

I used the php-5.2.3-Win32.zip

 

I made the php5ts.dll file available by adding the path (C:\php5) to the Windows Path through Controle Panel > Systems > Advanced > Environment Variables System Variable > Path, appending it like so ;C:\php5

 

In the httpd.conf file I added the following:

 

LoadModule php5_module c:/php5/php5apache2.dll

AddType application/x-httpd-php .php

PHPIniDir "C:\php5"

 

I then renamed the php.ini.recommended to php.ini and kept it in the C:/php5 directory.

 

When trying to restart Apache to make thing take effect, Apache won't restart.

 

Also, if I comment or remove the added lines to the httpd.conf file, Apache starts working again.

 

Can anyone see what I am doing wrong? Any help will be appreciated!

OK

 

Apache 2.2 is not compatible with php5 yet. There is a .dll for php5 you can get but I opted for reverting back to Apache 2.0.

 

Working now.

You should of just changed this line:

LoadModule php5_module c:/php5/php5apache2.dll

to this:

LoadModule php5_module c:/php5/php5apache2_2.dll

 

the php5apache2.dll module is not compatible with Apache2.2.x. You must use the newer Apache module for Apache2.2.x which is php5apache2_2.dll

 

If you are using the newer version of PHP5 (version 5.2 or greater) PHP now comes with the newer Apache2.2.x module.
