Apache not starting after changes to config file

[MrForbes]

I am running Apache 2 with PHP4. I had to reconfigure apache to run the php4 as a module. However everytime I try to start Apache I get the following syntax error.

Invalid LoadModule path\x93c:/php/sapi/php4apache2.dll\x94

the location of the dll is correct. If I comment out the
LoadModule php4_module “c:/PHP/sapi/php4apache2.dll”
apche will load but it will not understand PHP.

What the heck am I doing wrong?

Thanks

If that '\x93' '\x94' stuff is in your config file, that may well be the issue. I also note that 'php' is uppercase in one line and lowercase in another, but I don't /think/ that matters on win32.

[MrForbes]

The /x93 /x94 stuff is not actually in the config file. Just the
LoadModule php4_module “c:/PHP/sapi/php4apache2.dll”

Not sure what that means.

I did try changing the case of PHP. It made no difference. I even changed the location of the dll to a simpler location just to check. No go.

Does your error log show anything other than the error you pasted above?

[MrForbes]

It says:

Syntax error on line 134 of C:/Program Files/Apache Group/Apache2/conf/httpd.config:

Invalid LoadModule path \x93c:/PHP/sapi?php4apache2.dll\x94

That is it exactly. Hope this helps.

So, here's a random thought. Are you sure you're using the same quotes that are in use for the other LoadModule directives? There are "plain" double-quotes:

--> "

and 'fancy' double-quotes:

--> ”

Make sure you're using the plain ones.

Man you rock! That was it. Now lets see if all is well with the php. Thanks alot for being so detailed.

Apache is reading PHP properly.. YES!
