We have updated both products to the latest versions: httpd-2.4.33-win64-VC15 (Apache Lounge) php-7.2.4-Win32-VC15-x64 After that we can't start our product because of this error: "The Apache service named reported the following error: >>> httpd.exe: Syntax error on line 182 of C:/Program Files/DTK Software/DTK >>> LPR/apache/conf/httpd.conf: Cannot load php/php7apache2_4.dll into server: The specified procedure >>> could not be found." After investigation we have concluded that "php.exe" can not be started but only on MS Windows Server 2008 SP2 (important not 2008 R2), but previous version 7.1.16 of "php.exe" does work fine on this OS. Screenshot uploaded to: https://imgur.com/a/UolSJ Could you please investigate. Test script: --------------- Requirements: - MS Windows Server 2008 SP2 (important that it is not 2008 R2) - php-7.2.4-Win32-VC15-x64 1) Run Command Prompt 2) locate php-7.2.4-Win32-VC15-x64 folder 3) run php.exe -a command ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=76191&edit=1
