OK so I installed Apache2.2.4 and it worked fine, then I unpacked the Win32 executable (not MSI installer) to C:\PHP5 and put this in my httpd.conf: LoadModule php5_module "c:/php5/php5apache2.dll"

For one thing, the name when using Apache 2.2 is php5apache2_2.dll. Janet

and lower down: AddType application/x-httpd-php .php I've tried it without the quotes, I've tried it with the C:/PHP5 part capitalized, I've tried it a dozen different ways, but I still get the same message: httpd: Syntax error on line 116 of C:/Program Files/Apache Software Foundation/Apache2.2/conf/httpd.conf: Cannon load C:/PHP5/php5apache2.dll into server: The specified module could not be found. I have tried forums, mailing lists, Gooooooooooooogle, and every other resource I can think of and nobody can tell me why this does not work, despite consulting numerous installation guides and instructions from every source I can find! I have even gone to the extent of creating a special user for apache, called apache, on the local machine, with the ability to run as a service, and given it read and execute access to the entire Apache and PHP directories! This is driving me crazy!
