There is an error in the copy/paste code written for Apache2.2.11 with php5

Here is the proper LoadModule method:

# php
LoadModule php5_module “C:/php/php5apache2_2.dll”

AddType application/x-httpd-php .php

My Configuration:

1: Windows XP Professional SP3
2: Apache 2.2.11
3: PHP 5.2.6

Also, it is fine to uncomment all the extensions in the php.ini.

I migrated from an IIS 6.1 installation to an Apache installation to test J2EE on Apache2, using MySQL, postgreSQL, MSSQL

Hey for the once that apache returns error saying it cannot load the php module, the reason behind this is apache doesnt support php5.1, they say they will only support 5.2 but luckily theres a fix,

in httpd.conf include php5apache2_2.dll instead of php5apache2.dll.

the “_2″ special module version works just fine.

You said…
…
Search for the line of extension_dir = “./”. Change it to extension_dir = “C:\php5\ext”. Also, uncomment the line of extension=php_mysql.dll.

Save the php.ini. Restart the Apache server. Re-try to access http://localhost/php5_info.php. It should working fine. If not try to

“C:\php5\ext”. ?????? — the correct line is
“C:\php\ext”.

With Apache 2.2, you will need PHP 5.2.x. It has the php5apache2_2.dll that is compiled for the new version. You can download a stable build at http://snaps.php.net/

There seems to be a problem with Apache 2.2 and the PHP dll modules (on Windows obviously, don’t know if there are any problems on unix). I fixed it by going to http://www.apachelounge.com/download/ and downloading their version of the php4apache2.dll file. This also comes with another file which you have to put in your Apache/bin directory, and you will also need to download a MS Visual C++ Package if you don’t have the .NET framework installed. This is all explained in the readme file that comes with the DLL.

Looks like your web server doesn’t parse PHP file and treat it as text file, follow the steps carefully.

Hi Todd, the issue might be related to mod_perl (if you’re using it as ActivePerl). If you install Apache/2.2, please use mod_perl that is compiled with Apache 2.2 and not Apache 2.0 for compatibility issue.
