For a list of more appropriate places to ask for help using PHP, please visit http://www.php.net/support.php as this bug system is not the appropriate forum for asking support questions. Due to the volume of reports we can not explain in detail here why your report is not a bug. The support channels will be able to provide an explanation for you. Thank you for your interest in PHP.

I uninstalled the Marvell MRU program. Now I can start Apache 2.2.15 service with apache loaded, as usual, as a PHP module with PHP 5.3.2. Even after removing my whole PHP tree obtained from the .zip and instead using the VC6 x86 Thread Safe.msi installer. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2010-07-09 09:21:36] pajoye@php.net Thank you for this bug report. To properly diagnose the problem, we need a backtrace to see what is happening behind the scenes. To find out how to generate a backtrace, please read http://bugs.php.net/bugs-generating-backtrace.php for *NIX and http://bugs.php.net/bugs-generating-backtrace-win32.php for Win32 Once you have generated a backtrace, please submit it to this bug report and change the status back to "Open". Thank you for helping us make PHP better. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2010-07-09 03:56:37] murray at math dot umass dot edu Description: ------------ Summary: as soon as I add loading PHP 5.3.2 as a module, Apache 2.2.15 service won't start. Without the load, Apache service is OK; and PHP from command line is OK. What I did: (1) Installed Apache 2.2.15 in a localhost config from httpd-2.2.15-win32-x86-no_ssl.msi (also tried the openssl version when the former + PHP didn't work). That worked just fine. (2) Installed PHP 5.3.2 from php-5.3.2-Win32-VC6-x86.msi (thread safe), which php.net says to use, as I read its instructions. (It says NOT to use the VC9 version with apache.org binaries.) Now the apache httpd service will not start. So of course I never got so far as to try a .php script in the browser. Of course I put the correct entries in PATH and PHPRC. My httpd.conf was what the apache installer set up plus my changes in appropriate spots. I retried everything after completely uninstalling both apache http and PHP, again using httpd-2.2.15-win32-x86-no_ssl.msi but this time installing PHP manually from php-5.3.2-Win32-VC6-x86.zip. File httpd.conf is what the Apache installer set up plus my edits in appropriate spots: ServerName localhost:80 DocumentRoot "E:/htdocs" <Directory "E:/htdocs"> LoadModule php5_module "D:/Server/PHP/php5apache2_2.dll" PHPIniDir "D:/Server/PHP" AddType application/x-httpd-php .php AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps My edits to php.ini are: PHPIniDir "D:/Server/PHP/" LoadModule php5_module "D:/Server/PHP/php5apache2_2.dll" Apache error.log contains just: [warn] pid file D:/Server/Apache2.2/logs/httpd.pid overwritten -- Unclean shutdown of previous Apache run? The Windows Event log, System view shows: The Apache2.2 service terminated with service-specific error 1 (0x 1). And Windows Even log, Application view shows: Faulting application httpd.exe, version 2.2.15.0, faulting module unknown, version 0.0.0.0, fault address 0x0074f1a9. Essentially the same bug has been reported in a number of user forums, and I waited to see if anybody detected some configuration mistake, but to no avail. Test script: --------------- I don't know how to do a back-trace, since I find no explanation anywhere of what to do with the PHP debug-pack. Expected result: ---------------- Apache 2.2.15 service starts. Actual result: -------------- Apache 2.2.15 service cannot start. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=52298&edit=1
