Php with apachie install problems

NutJob

LoadModule php5_module "c:/Apache/php/php5Apache2.dll"

When i add the following line to my httpd.conf file the service refuses to start with no entry in the log file.

Any help would be appreciated.

I was tormeted with this aswell before, but for the life of me I can't remember how I fixed it... I think it could have been something I forgot to set in the php.ini
Whatever it was, all I can remember is kicking myself.
I'd say have a closer look at the php documentation... see if anything jumps out.
FYI, that line you're using in httpd.conf is the same as the one I'm using in my working install of php5 & apache2... so as long as the path is 100%, I'd give that part the green light.

This is deja vu for me. Not sure if your using the exact same setup, but its a PHP 5 bug with the Apache 2.2x series (not sure if the 2.0x series is affected).

What you need to do is grab the latest stable 5.2x dev package from PHP and use its updated Apache module.
http://snaps.php.net/
That will get PHP working with Apache, though you might err.. run into the relative path problem which i posted about earlier this week:D.
One way to get around that is to opt for the cgi functionality instead of the Apache dll module, as there seems to be a bug with the get current working directory function in the module.

Have fun, though after countless hours spent trying to fix my setup before discovering its a bug with the PHP code -i might consider going back to an Apache 2.0x / 1.x release with PHP 4;)

Which version of Apache? If you're using the latest 2.2 try downgrading to 2.0x.
