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 getting get following error in popup window.
"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.

In windows event log; I found this entry

Faulting application httpd.exe, version 2.2.14.0, faulting module php5ts.dll,
version 5.3.1.0, fault address 0x000e619a.

When comment it out LoadModule, It work fine. So itis the PHP problem.

I tried with both version of PHP 5.3.1, VC6 x86 Non Thread Safe and VC6 x86 Thread Safe.
But still the same problem. I am getting off with PHP technolgy. I wasn't expecting
this complex to just to get Apache and PHP working. No wounder, why people move to microsoft product.

Please please can someone help me with this problem.

many thank

Don't curse Apache and PHP. Apache is used by more than 60% servers in the world !

Its windows' problem.

Better use CGI / FastCGI interface. This mod_php thing is always troublesome at least by my experience.

My server uses Apache on Linux but I never use mod_php. I always rely on FastCGI. It gives better performance and easier to setup.
