No. Must I?

I assume that this is not the reason for the php error on Apache
start.

When I clicked start in the control-panel - an apache.exe process
appeared in the processes table and that error message. When I clicked
OK on the error-window a similar error appeared for OCI.dll, then for
several other dll. After the last error-message - a second apache.exe
appeared in the processes table. Are there supposed to be two
processes?
When I direct the browser to http://localhost I get an empty page.
When I direct it to http://localhost:8080/ I get an error message.

I just started it from the panel.

The file exists.

No.
Also, which book and which online manual can you suggest me to read in
order to study Apache?
Thanks.
