#18129 [Com]: Installation PHP 4.2.X with Apache 2.0.x

ID: 18129 Comment by: mike at yahoo dot com Reported By: erik at antwerpes dot de Status: Closed Bug Type: Documentation problem Operating System: Win32 PHP Version: 4.3.0-dev New Comment: I read every single post on this board and tried every suggestion and several desperate measures of my own. Even tried the registry trick that was suggested on one of the posts by a fellow XP user. No cigar. None of the suggestions aided me in resolving the issue that leads to the error we are all trying to eliminate; "Cannot load c:\php\sapi\php4apache2.dll into server". I am running Windows XP, Apache 2.0.43 and Php 4.3.0. Now, suppossedly php4apache.dll should NOT work with Apache 2.x. That is what php4apache2.dll was written for. Guess what, I tried it and it worked for me. Is it working as it should? That is another story. I guess I'll find out soon enough. So, bottom line...do what the guy in the [October 23rd 2002 8:52 pm] post says if you have XP, and then try specifying the folowing in the Apache conf file... LoadModule php4_module x:\php\sapi\php4apache.dll AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .php3 .php4 .phtml May or may not work for you. To say this software is poorly documented and experimental is an understatement!
