RE: Trying to set up a test server on my localhost

[Paul Blondé <jpb@xxxxxxxx>]

Actually, I got it working with both. They are identical files.

I had to drop the C: and just go with /PHP5/php5apache2.dll or
/PHP5/php5apache2_2.dll, and then when I tested it from the console I got no
error message, so I killed the console session and started it as a service
and everything worked fine. This was when I tried testing with both versions
of the file, and again it worked fine, although yes the 2_2 file is the
"proper" one to use.

Amazing what articulating the problem in words, and then taking a little
walk for some fresh air can do :)

For one thing, the name when using Apache 2.2 is php5apache2_2.dll.
