Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=60645&edit=1 ID: 60645 Updated by: ab@php.net Reported by: notebooksource at gmail dot com Summary: PHP 5.3 (VC9) does work(flawlessly) with apache.org binaries. -Status: Assigned +Status: Closed Type: Documentation Problem Package: Website problem Operating System: Windows 7 PHP Version: 5.3.8 Assigned To: ab Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: Note about the TS versions usage added to the site. That is however not an excuse for users to read other docs, like Apache ones which tell that mpm_winnt is threads based ;) Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2012-02-17 01:29:46] salisbm at hotmail dot com Update - I tried using the non-thread safe PHP vc9 binaries originally. I tried again using the thread safe PHP vc9 binaries and they worked! http://windows.php.net/ states: "If you are using PHP with Apache 1 or Apache2 from apache.org you need to use the VC6 versions of PHP If you are using PHP with IIS you should use the VC9 versions of PHP VC6 Versions are compiled with the legacy Visual Studio 6 compiler VC9 Versions are compiled with the Visual Studio 2008 compiler and have improvements in performance and stability. The VC9 versions require you to have the Microsoft 2008 C++ Runtime (x86) or the Microsoft 2008 C++ Runtime (x64) installed Do NOT use VC9 version with apache.org binaries VC9 versions of Apache can be fetched at Apache Lounge. We use their binaries to build the Apache SAPIs." ************** It does not mention that the thread safe PHP vc9 binaries must be used to work with apache from Apache Lounge. ************** ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2012-02-17 01:01:30] salisbm at hotmail dot com I'm seeing a similar but different issue. Because current windows php distributions (built with vc9 binaries) no longer work with standard apache.org distributions (built with vc6), I've tried to follow the instructions and get apache from apache lounge. (As mentioned on http://windows.php.net/download/). However, the apache lounge version does not work either! C:\Apache2\bin>httpd httpd: Syntax error on line 494 of C:/Apache2/conf/httpd.conf: Can't locate API module structure `php5_module' in file D:/php/php-5.3.10/php5.dll: No error ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2012-01-03 18:44:15] notebooksource at gmail dot com Description: ------------ The download page states "Do Not use VC9 versions with apache.org binaries...". It states that you should get apache binaries from the Apache Lounge if you're going to use a VC9 version. I tried many times to get PHP 5.2.17 to work with an apache2.2.21 binary from apache.org on Windows 7. I didn't want to use 5.2.17 because it's no longer supported,but I had used it before, and I didn't want to use the apache binary from Apache Lounge,because when I looked at the install instructions ,I saw the words "Make" and "build". I compiled and installed PHP from source code once, but I'm never going to do it again. So, in my frustration, I just decided to TRY PHP 5.3.8 (VC 9) with the apache 2.2.21 binary from apache.org and it works flawlessly. I realize that Windows 7 natively supports the VC9 version, but the instructions on the download page led me to beleive that the issue was with the apache.org binary. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=60645&edit=1
