Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=66301&edit=1 ID: 66301 Comment by: michael at squiloople dot com Reported by: michael at squiloople dot com Summary: Cannot load php5apache2_4.dll into server: Access is denied Status: Open Type: Bug Package: Apache2 related Operating System: Windows Vista SP 2 PHP Version: 5.5.7 Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: Replacing php5ts.dll with the version from 5.5.3 allows Apache to run 5.5.7, again suggesting that there is some fundamental permission error with the version starting 5.5.4 (the file cannot be opened or copied even when "run as administrator"). Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2013-12-17 18:19:41] michael at squiloople dot com Apache 2.4.7 (https://www.apachelounge.com/download/VC11/binaries/httpd-2.4.7-win32-VC11.zip) cannot load php5apache2_4.dll into server. The specific error is: "Syntax error on line 176 of C:/Apache/conf/httpd.conf: Cannot load C:/PHP/php5apache2_4.dll into server: Access is denied. ." This issue also occurs in PHP 5.5.6, 5.5.5, and 5.5.4. It does not occur in 5.5.3. In all cases the Win32 VC11 x86 Thread Safe builds were used. Using the Dependency Walker the issue seems to be with php5ts.dll; access is denied to php5apache2_4.dll when trying to open it. When trying to open php5ts.dll with the Dependency Walker, even when run as an Administrator, I'm given the Windows alert "You don't have permission to open this file". This suggests that php5ts.dll has been created with the wrong permissions. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2013-12-16 15:11:52] michael at squiloople dot com Description: ------------ Apache 2.4.7 (https://www.apachelounge.com/download/VC11/binaries/httpd-2.4.7-win32-VC11.zip) cannot load php5apache2_4.dll into server.
