Wiped Computer. Reinstalled Server. Missing php5apache2.dll

missing php5apache2.dll php.ini files

[Rottingham]

Hello All. I've been running an apache server on my home system for over a year now, and while I know very little about it, I'm not a complete novice.

About 4 months ago I upgraded to the latest Apache, PHP and MySQL engines. When I upgraded PHP5, the instructions taught to load the php5apache2.dll file instead of php4apache2.dll, which is located in the PHP install directory.

Well, the installation of PHP5 did not included the file, PHP5APACHE2.DLL so I left the PHP4 installation and continued to load php4apache2.dll.

Last night, I finally perfomed a complete wipe of my system, (haven't done that in 3 years! It was needed.) and reinstalled apache, PHP and mySQL. Now my problem is, Apache is running but PHP5 did not install the php5apache2.dll file. The only dll is one with 'ts' at the end of the name, but the name escapes me right now.

Furthermore, it does not have the php.ini file I need to put into my apache directory.

Did I just get a bad install of PHP 5? Is this pretty common? Or do I need to acquire these files elsewhere? As it stands, my webserver is down because of this problem.

Thanks for any help I get here.

Welcome to WebmasterWorld Rottingham,

I could have sworn it was included, maybe try downloading the package again and see

also maybe this thread might help somewhat, though I realize you have most of it working
