Apache 2.2.4 won't restart after configuring PHP 5

I use a HP Pavilion Laptop, Windows XP SP2, 1.5 GHz, 504 MB RAM.

I installed Apache 2.2.4 and MySQL 5.0 and it was all working fine.
Then I downloaded PHP5 and configured Apache accordingly and when I
tried to restart Apache I get a pop-up window saying "The requested
operation has failed!".

I have spent over 2 hours googling this problem and haven`t found any
answers.

I`ve tried downloading another php5apache2.dll file that is suppoed to
work with windows XP, but that didn't work either.

The lines I`ve added to the httpd.conf file are:

LoadModule php5_module "c:/php5/php5apache2.dll"
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps
index.htm index.php default.php main.php (to DirectoryIndex)

Hope you guys can help me with this.

Cheers

 

Good - Apache 2.2.4
Good - MySQL 5.0
Bad - PHP5 , no sub version given. I don't wonder why anymore. 5.2.0
is current, or it could be from 5.0.0.

Answers as in fix or the correct questions? 2 minutes and many posts

2 www.google.com searches,

php5 apache The requested operation has failed!.

Apache 2.2 PHP 5 incompatible


to read a few obvious pointers from those posts.

Reference?

You do know there is,

php5apache
php5apache2
php5apache2_2 , for Apache series 2.2

Well if you comment those out or at least the DLL what happens?

Was it broken? Otherwise why fix?

Apache newsgroups / mailing list, php ditto, support FAQs say?

Check your aren't loading it as a cgi and a module at the same time,
IIRC that's what I did a few years ago.

So the Apache log file says what?

Thene there is the XP Event Log.
