PHP/Apache2 Install on Win2k

After having PHP installed with IIS5 on my Win2K server and having a few issues, I have now installed Apache2 web server.

I have run through the config instructions that come with the PHP/Windows download but I am now getting the following 2 error messages every time the Apache2 service tries to start...

1.
The Apache service named reported the following error:
>>> Syntax error on line 160 of C:/Program Files/Apache Group/Apache2/conf/httpd.conf: .

2.
The Apache service named reported the following error:
>>> Cannot load C:/php/sapi/php4apache.dll into server: The specified module could not be found. .

Line 160 of my httpd.conf reads...

LoadModule php4_module C:/php/sapi/php4apache.dll

My PHP install dir is c:php so the path is correct and indeed the file exists.

Has anyone experienced this problem and resolved?

the problem is that the instructions that come with the php distrubutions only cover installations for Apache 1.3.x and not the 2.0 versions
luckily for your (and me!) flashkit.com has a tutorial on how to do just that
http://www.flashkit.com/tutorials/Backend/Installi-Jeffrey_-776/more4.shtml

oh forgot to mention one thing
in the tutorial, it mentions adding the line "LoadModule php4_module c:/PHP/experimental/apache2filter.dll"
you should replace it with 'c:/PHP/sapi/php4apache2.dll' instead or wherever your php4apache2.dll file may be

thanks. That link you gave me won't work. Do you know of anywhere else I can get it?

Copy your file /php/php4ts.dll to your /windows/system or /windows/system32 folder.

That worked for me.

From the install.txt file:

!! NOTE !!
Whereever you load php4apache.dll from, php4apache.dll also
needs the php4ts.dll also included in the PHP4 distribution.
php4apache.dll depends on php4ts.dll which is loaded as soon as
Apache loads php4apache.dll. If php4ts.dll can't be found, you
usually get an error like (also see the "Problems?" section at
the end of the file):

Cannot load c:/php/sapi/php4apache.dll into server

So where does php4ts.dll has to be to be properly loaded ?
php4ts.dll is searched in the following order:

1) in the directory where apache.exe is start from
2) in the directory where php4apache.dll is loaded from
3) in your %SYSTEMROOT%System32, %SYSTEMROOT%system and
%SYSTEMROOT% directory.
Note: %SYSTEMROOT%System32 only applies to Windows NT/2000/XP)
4) in your whole %PATH%

Note: What is %SYSTEMROOT% ? Depending on your Windows
installation this may be for example c:winnt or C:windows

Usually you would just copy it over to %SYSTEMROOT%System32.
But if you want to have multiple PHP installations (for
whatever reason) this is a bad idea. For this circumstance the
safest thing is to let php4ts.dll reside in the same directory
where php4apache.dll is loaded from (see point 2 above).
