Cannot load php4apache2.dll into server

Hey guys, please help me with this...
I am trying to setup an Apache 2 server with PHP4 in Windows box, I add the line



The php4apache2.dll is prsent in H:\PHP, still it says it cannot load the module, it cannot find the file. Now whats wrong with it? I have also added the folder path in PATH environment variable, still it doesn't work. I am just stuck at this dumb error with no clue no solution. Thought it might be helpful if I put it in Linux forum coz I know very few stupid persons like me do this in Windows.
Well can you help me? I needed a quick solution.

Your quote has front slashes and the error message has back slashes. Unix uses front slashes and Windows uses back slashes, so my guess is that it should read:
LoadModule php4_module h:\php\php4apache2.dll
instead.

yes, I know, its just a typo

are you using Apache 2 , or Apache 2.2? because there is a difference.. i'm using Apache 2.2 with PHP5 in Windows and this is the line i have to load the module:


i once found a good tutorial for installing apache/php/etc in windows before and i sent the url to daemonguy but he ignored it lol but it may be of some help to you..

Thanks I am checking it and its Apache2 (not 2.2).
Well I have degraded it to 1.3, now its working. Still I have no idea why there was a problem.

yea..i find that rather odd. is the php folder still located on your H drive?
& its not like apache 1.3 is worse.. it possibly has less features (that you probably wont use), but it is supposed to be more secure..

yea that was in H: drive and still it is...

I had the same problem, it was fixed after installing EasyPHP.
That will automatically configure Apache and MySQL.

I had the same problem, and could not install EasyPHP because it does not run on Windows Vista.

So I removed php4, downloaded and installed php5 eand verything worked fine.

I suppose there must be some kind of incompatibility between php 4 and apache 2.2.

Don't know, but try it, might work for you too.

I followed the steps on this site and it works very fine for me. No problems with PHP and Apcahe
