HELP: upgrade woes: apache 1.3.23 and 4.2.3

okay, i used an old version of foxserv to install AMP. i looked recently and i was still running php v4.0.4rl1 or something that old. so i tried all combo upgrading it, but to no results. i launch apache on my win98SE test/programming machine and apache replies with an error of: Cannot load c:/php/sapi/php4apache.dll into server: (31) A device attached to the system is not functioning: weird part #1. if i replace the php4ts.dll in c:\windows\system32 with the old version from 4.0.4, apache runs and so does php in it. weird part #2. if i run "php.exe < test.php", the header says version 4.2.3. this is if i still have 4.2.3's php4ts.dll... so what dll files should be where? what does "php4.apache.ddl" need? what am i missing if i stay with 4.0.4? security issues with that older version? thanks... -- ----------------------- Leo G.
