# Apache Error

 * Windows Platform – 2003 SP2
    Apache 2.2 installed PHP 5.2.5 MySQL 5.2.5
 * Once I install PHP Apache no longer runs.
    I get 2 errors in the event log.
 * 1. The Apache service named reported the following error:
    >>> Cannot load E:/
   Program Files/PHP/php5apache2_2.dll into server: The specified module could not
   be found. .
 * 2. The Apache service named reported the following error:
    >>> Syntax error on
   line 960 of E:/Program Files/Apache Group/Apache2/conf/httpd.conf:
 * Can’t figure out why? Next step would be to start the 5 min word press install.
   Any help is greatly appreciated!

 * Presumably you have added the following to your httpd.conf file:
 * # Enable PHP5
    LoadModule php5_module “C:/Program Files/PHP5/php5apache2_2.dll”
   AddType application/x-httpd-php .php PHPIniDir “C:/Program Files/PHP5”
 * ….and adjusted it to reflect the correct path to the php5apache2_2.dll.
 * Windows can be a little funky on this topic. Rather than spelling it all out 
   and making a poor attempt to assume what you have or have not already done, I
   will point you to a link that seems to have the install information pretty much
   spot on. I compared it to the notes I made on my last installation of MySql, 
   Apache and PHP on a Windows machine, and I believe it to be accurate. Pay particular
   attention to your drive lettering when editing the path to the php extension 
   directory as well as the php5apache2_2.dll path in httpd.conf.

 * Thanks for the great link. I followed it exactly and I still get the same error.
   I have it running on a VMWare box so it’s easy to try new things and revert. 
   Still can’t get past these errors.
 * When you take out the following lines Apache starts up fine:
    # Enable PHP5 LoadModule
   php5_module “C:/Program Files/PHP5/php5apache2_2.dll” AddType application/x-httpd-
   php .php PHPIniDir “C:/Program Files/PHP5”

 * I fixed this myself. Guess I was using apache 2 NOT 2.2.
    Got it all working 
   now. 🙂

 * It’s a good feeling, yes it is…
 * Thanks for marking it resolved!
    Peace.
