Hi, all.
I have an issue with installing PHP 5.0 beta 3 on Windows. I currently
have PHP 4.3.3 running as a module for Apache 1.3.24, but I've been
doing some XML-intensive development and thought I might try out 5.0's
libxml functions, as well as just help out the beta test effort.
I stopped Apache, renamed the "old" PHP directory to "php4", and copied
the contents of the 5.0b3 "w/o installer" zip file to D:/AppServ/php
where php4 had been. I also copied the php4ts.dll from the root of the
5.0 directory to the /sapi directory. I edited the php.ini-recommended
file from 5.0 so that the extensions directory was correct (even though
it shouldn't load any extensions). In C:\Windows, I moved the old
php.ini to php4.ini and copied the edited php.ini-recommended file to
c:\windows\php.ini. I also made sure there were no copies of php4ts.dll
in /windows/system32.
At first, I forgot to change httpd.conf, so I got error messages when
restarting Apache that were fairly obvious in Event Viewer. I changed
the php4 lines in httpd.conf to:
LoadModule php5_module D:/AppServ/php/sapi/php4apache.dll
and
AddModule mod_php5.c
That stopped the normal "syntax error in httpd.conf" errors I was
getting before, but started a new mess.
What it looks like now is that Apache tries to load
D:/AppServ/php/sapi/php4ts.dll and seg faults. Before I updated
httpd.conf, it took only a second or two for Apache to present an error
when starting. Now, it takes more like 5+ seconds of disks spinning and
the sound of things loading before I get a message from XP saying that
apache crashed.
I've saved the hexdumps and other info that the windows error logger
keeps, but I can't make much of them. The message is pretty clear that
there's a problem with php4ts.dll at a specific offset. I didn't want to
attach them, but I'll put them on my web server or attach if anyone
thinks they'd help.
I tried 5.0b2 and it had the exact same problem. I also downloaded 5.0b3
from two different mirrors and checked the md5sum on each, and neither
copy worked.
When I copied php4ts.dll to the /php/cli/ directory and ran php -i , I
got what sounded like perfectly reasonable phpinfo, and I even ran a
couple little PHP scripts through it. It even gave me a parse error on
one that I had laying around. It was looking for php.ini in c:\windows
right where it was, and it didn't complain about anything.
I'm really lost on this one. If anyone has any suggestions, I'd
appreciate them very much. All the documentation I can find online seems
to address things I've covered.
Thanks,
Sam Clayton
