Summary: Apache won't start after PHP 5.3.1 is installed
Status: Bogus
Type: Bug
Package: Windows Installer
Operating System: Windows 7 (x64)
PHP Version: 5.3.1
New Comment:
Two points:
1. I did not have to manually define any PATH variables when I installed
PHP 5.2.13 after I had uninstalled 5.3.1. So the 5.2.13 installer is
working where the 5.3.1 failed.
2. After I got PHP 5.2.13 running I installed PEAR. I ran into a
non-fatal installation problem in PEAR as well. I found out that
Windows 7 is case sensitive when referring to PATHs. PEAR was creating
it's PATH variable with the directory in all upper, but the actual
folder was all lower. That worked on earlier Windows, but not on 7. I
don't know which Windows version they made that change in. But once I
edited PEAR's PATH variables to match the actual directory case the
non-fatal error was resolved.
I suspect that PHP 5.3.1's installer is creating a path with the wrong
case, based upon the assumption that Windows doesn't care. Can't prove
it without uninstalling PHP, and I can't do that right now.

that's a configuration problem. Adding the PHP directory to your PATH is
a required step when you configure PHP with Apache.

I just had the same problem as randy and adding the path where php
resides to my PATH varible did the trick indeed!

interbase is not available in 5.3, so I think you were using the old
php.ini or messing extensions.

This were the installed extension, but now I have gone back to 5.2.12
because it is a production server
extension=php_dbase.dll
extension=php_gd2.dll
extension=php_imap.dll
extension=php_interbase.dll
extension=php_mysql.dll
extension=php_openssl.dll
extension=php_pdo_mysql.dll
extension=php_xsl.dll
extension=php_zip.dll

pajoye asked me which extensions were enabled. I'm sorry but because I
have uninstalled 5.3.1 and installed 5.2.13 I can no longer say for
certain. I do not have a copy of the php.ini from the 5.3.1
installation. I checked my trash, and it's gone.
When I installed 5.3.1 I did go through the custom setup and to select
extensions. There were a few extensions that I knew I needed. I think
that they (PEAR and MySQL) were both selected by default, so I just took
the defaults.
