Apache cannot find php5apache2_2.dll even if at default location: The Apache service named reported the following error: >>> httpd.exe: Syntax error on line 516 of C:/Archivos de programa/Apache Software Foundation/Apache2.2/conf/httpd.conf: Cannot load C:/Archivos de programa/Apache Software Foundation/Apache2.2/php5apache2_2.dll into server: No se puede encontrar el m\xf3dulo . Copying settings from PHP/5.3.4 fixes the issue: #BEGIN PHP INSTALLER EDITS - REMOVE ONLY ON UNINSTALL PHPIniDir "C:/Archivos de programa/PHP/" LoadModule php5_module "C:/Archivos de programa/PHP/php5apache2_2.dll" #END PHP INSTALLER EDITS - REMOVE ONLY ON UNINSTALL ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2011-01-08 14:57:09] pajoye@php.net hi John, Something went wrong in the last installer update. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2011-01-08 14:53:42] helge dot rowold at datendrexler dot de Description: ------------ After having installed httpd-2.2.17-win32-x86-openssl-0.9.8o.msi successfully, but NOT at the default path but at a separate HDD partition with a non-default root directory, I was able to install the php-5.3.5-Win32-VC6-x86.msi at the same partition in a non-default directory, too. The installer echoed that everything would have been done well. But the Apache Service did not start, then! At the end I was able to fix the issue: In httpd.conf, the PHP installer had tried to add the default linkage from HTTPD to PHP by adding the lines #BEGIN PHP INSTALLER EDITS - REMOVE ONLY ON UNINSTALL PHPIniDir "" LoadModule php5_module "php5apache2_2.dll" #END PHP INSTALLER EDITS - REMOVE ONLY ON UNINSTALL - i. e., PHP was NOT able to set the correct (non-default) path to its own directory (which would have been, by the way, "D:/Programme/PHP535/"). Test script: --------------- Please see above - addition of the correct path in httpd.conf did fix the error. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=53696&edit=1
