Actually, I got it working with both. They are identical files. I had to drop the C: and just go with /PHP5/php5apache2.dll or /PHP5/php5apache2_2.dll, and then when I tested it from the console I got no error message, so I killed the console session and started it as a service and everything worked fine. This was when I tried testing with both versions of the file, and again it worked fine, although yes the 2_2 file is the "proper" one to use.
Amazing what articulating the problem in words, and then taking a little walk for some fresh air can do :) -----Original Message----- From: Janet Valade [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, June 20, 2007 5:35 PM To: Paul Blondé Cc: php-install@lists.php.net Subject: Re: [PHP-INSTALL] Trying to set up a test server on my localhost Paul Blondé wrote: > OK so I installed Apache2.2.4 and it worked fine, then I unpacked the Win32 > executable (not MSI installer) to C:\PHP5 and put this in my httpd.conf: > > LoadModule php5_module "c:/php5/php5apache2.dll" For one thing, the name when using Apache 2.2 is php5apache2_2.dll.
