I'm trying to connect PHP to Apache. I have Windows 7 Ultimate. I used the thread safe windows binary PHP download. It was the latest download.
I then downloaded Notepad ++ and opened PHP.ini. Using Notepad ++ I searched for the word _dir. Once I found it, I found ;extension_dir = "ext" I removed the semicolon and saved the document.
Then I went into my PHP folder and found install.txt. I opened it with Notepad ++ I searched for apache module. I found the apache 2.0 module. I made sure the file php5apache2_4.dll was in the PHP folder. I copied the following text:
# For PHP 5 do something like this:
LoadModule php5_module "c:/PHP/php5apache2_4.dll"
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
# configure the path to php.ini
PHPIniDir "C:/PHP"
I capitalized my PHP folder so I could see it more distinctly.
I switched off Apache.
Then I found my Apache folder. (c:Program Files/Apache Software Foundation/Apache2.2/conf) I opened httpd.conf with Notepad ++
I searched for Loadmodule and at the end of the Loadmodule list I pasted this:
# For PHP 5 do something like this:
LoadModule php5_module "c:/PHP/php5apache2_4.dll"
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
# configure the path to php.ini
PHPIniDir "C:/PHP"
Then I searched for index.html and added index.php
I saved all my work and closed Notepad ++
I restarted Apache and got the following error: cannot load php5apache2_4.dll into server. The specified procedure could not be found. I don't know what I've done wrong. I need help starting Apache.
