ID: 53696 User updated by: helge dot rowold at datendrexler dot de Reported by: helge dot rowold at datendrexler dot de Summary: erroneous automatic entry into httpd.conf Status: Closed Type: Bug Package: Apache2 related Operating System: Windows 7 PHP Version: 5.3.5 Assigned To: jmertic Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: Hello masikwha, in my opinion you should be able to fix the error on Vista, too, by adding the following two lines to your httpd.conf file (in case you would like to use PHP as Apache module and *not* via CGI): PHPIniDir "php_partition_char:/php_program_path/php_dir_name/" LoadModule php5_module "php_partition_char:/php_program_path/php5apache2_2.dll" The strings php_partition_char, php_program_path, and php_dir_name have to be replaced with the real path to your PHP installation directory, of course. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2011-03-16 04:48:04] masikwha at yahoo dot com the problems discussed here for windows 7 seems to be far different than what I am experincing on Vista. After successful installatioin of Apache 2.2.17 on Vista, php-5.3.5-Win32-VC9-x86 (Thread safe) installer seems to add following lines on httpd.conf file, #BEGIN PHP INSTALLER EDITS - REMOVE ONLY ON UNINSTALL ScriptAlias /php/ "" Action application/x-httpd-php "php-cgi.exe" #END PHP INSTALLER EDITS - REMOVE ONLY ON UNINSTALL (Note there is no PHPIniDir ) On restarting the apache it gives error saying, ScriptAlias takes two names, fake name and real name... I tried commenting #CriptAlias /php/ "" , Apache runs ok but it doesn't php is not working. For proper installation of PHP 5.3.5 is that all the changes necessary ?? (which however is not working )? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2011-01-19 21:57:49] jmer...@php.net This bug has been fixed in SVN.

Thank you for the report, and for helping us make PHP better. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2011-01-10 11:18:51] alvaro at demogracia dot com Same symptoms here under Windows XP. Apache cannot find php5apache2_2.dll even if at default location: The Apache service named reported the following error: >>> httpd.exe: Syntax error on line 516 of C:/Archivos de programa/Apache Software Foundation/Apache2.2/conf/httpd.conf: Cannot load C:/Archivos de programa/Apache Software Foundation/Apache2.2/php5apache2_2.dll into server: No se puede encontrar el m\xf3dulo . Copying settings from PHP/5.3.4 fixes the issue: #BEGIN PHP INSTALLER EDITS - REMOVE ONLY ON UNINSTALL PHPIniDir "C:/Archivos de programa/PHP/" LoadModule php5_module "C:/Archivos de programa/PHP/php5apache2_2.dll" #END PHP INSTALLER EDITS - REMOVE ONLY ON UNINSTALL ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2011-01-08 14:57:09] paj...@php.net hi John, Something went wrong in the last installer update. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2011-01-08 14:53:42] helge dot rowold at datendrexler dot de Description: ------------ After having installed httpd-2.2.17-win32-x86-openssl-0.9.8o.msi successfully, but NOT at the default path but at a separate HDD partition with a non-default root directory, I was able to install the php-5.3.5-Win32-VC6-x86.msi at the same partition in a non-default directory, too. The installer echoed that everything would have been done well. But the Apache Service did not start, then! At the end I was able to fix the issue: In httpd.conf, the PHP installer had tried to add the default linkage from HTTPD to PHP by adding the lines #BEGIN PHP INSTALLER EDITS - REMOVE ONLY ON UNINSTALL PHPIniDir "" LoadModule php5_module "php5apache2_2.dll" #END PHP INSTALLER EDITS - REMOVE ONLY ON UNINSTALL - i. e., PHP was NOT able to set the correct (non-default) path to its own directory (which would have been, by the way, "D:/Programme/PHP535/"). Test script: --------------- Please see above - addition of the correct path in httpd.conf did fix the error. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=53696&edit=1
