A success story! Perhaps you can share with me your setup process:

1. Are you installing from WAMP, or via direct binary download from 

Apache?

2. Are you using the MSI install from ActiveState + modperl 2 via the 

theoryx5 ppd for Apache 2.2?

3. Any other steps you took (special httpd.conf?) will be helpful

To paint the picture correctly: I have no issues running modperl + 

Apache2.2 + Windows XP running 99% of the time. It's that 1% that 

panics the clients.

Thanks.

Direct DL from apache, then using PHP5 (I was lazy and instead of 

compiling the module myself, I downloaded from Apache Lounge).  I didn't 

use ActiveState, etc. as I already had Perl on my box from working with 

it for school, so I got mod_perl and installed it, nothing really 

complex was needed, beyond sorting out a real nightmare of "which 

php.ini is the real php.ini" (after the PHP5 install I had three of them 

in use, one in c:\php\php5, one in c:\windows, one in c:\windows\system32)

I had some trouble with the MySQLi php module, for some reason it 

wouldn't ever work right, but when I used the plain MySQL one, I had no 

trouble.  MySQL was installed from the latest community build available 

at that time (about a year ago) and was an uneventful install.
