Having problem starting Apache after PHP installed

Hi

I have windows XP with service pack 3 machine.
I installed Apache 2.2 and tested working fine.
And then I installed php 5.3.1.
When I start Apache, it doesn't start and not getting get following error.
"Apache HTTP Server has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience."
But I don't get any error in the log fine.

After studing in detail, I found this enrty in httpd.conf
LoadModule php5_module "C:/php/php5apache2_2.dll"

But this file is already there in the folder.

Please can someone help me with this problem.

Comment out that line with a semicolon and try again to see if it's php that's causing the problem. Post your results here.
