Configuring apache httpd.conf file with PHP

Question

As per one of the tutorial on configuring phpMyAdmin I configured the apache/conf/httpd.conf file as follows to establish the connection for PHP in apache.

PHPIniDir "c:\webserver\php"
LoadModule php5_module "c:\webserver\php\php5apache2_4.dll"
AddHandler application/x-httpd-php .php

I am getting an error:

The request operation has failed

While restarting apache with the above changes. Where am I going wrong? Please can somebody explain how to figure it out.

Use forward slashes / instead of `\` in path names. Apache works with forward slash in windows also. also please mention the version of PHP and Apache you are using. — bansi

Try httpd -k start from the Apache/bin folder and see what error message you are getting. — bansi

@Bansi Thank you for the reply. I tried with \ but still apache is not getting started. The apache and PHP versions are httpd-2.2.25-win32-x86-no_ssl and php-5.5.6-Win32-VC11-x86 respectively. Also, I tried using httpd -k start but it says **httpd: Syntax error on line 133 of C:/webserver/apache/conf/httpd.conf: Cannot l oad C:/webserver/php/php5apache2_4.dll into server: The specified module could not be found. ** — deep

With httpd-2.2.25 you should be using php5apache2_2.dll not php5apache2_4.dll.

Change the line

LoadModule php5_module "c:\webserver\php\php5apache2_4.dll"

to

LoadModule php5_module "c:/webserver/php/php5apache2_2.dll"
