After carefully reading the PHP download page, I removed my PHP install (except for the php.ini) and installed VC6 (PHP 5.2.17). This is where my troubles starts! If I uncomment this in httpd.conf #PHPIniDir "C:\Program Files (x86)\PHP\" #LoadModule php5_module "C:\Program Files (x86)\PHP\php5apache2_2.dll" Apache can't start and I get the following in the system event log (crappy translation by myself): Failing application name: httpd.exe, version : 2.2.21.0, Timestamp : 0x4e6a3015 Failing Module: php5ts.dll, version : 5.2.17.17, Timestamp : 0x4d25fb49 ----- I feel like I'm trapped! What the heck is that php5ts.dll doing? I know there can be problems with some crappy DLLs like lib_mycrypt.dll, but nothing that critical! I don't understand WHY it crashes... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=55863&edit=1
