Jerry,
I changed the line that read
LoadModule php5_module "C:\Program Files\PHP\php5apache2_2_4.dll"
to
LoadModule php5_module "C:\Program Files\PHP\php5apache2_2.dll"
(the line I used when I was still able to start apache)

and I was able to load apache again, but when I ran the "<?php
phpinfo(); ?>" script, the error messages came up again & shut apache
down. I was able to transcribe the highlights of dialog boxes #s 2 & 3
(dialog box 1 was that standard Windows box), which read:

Error signature

szAppName: httpd.exe szAppVer: 2.2.4.0 szMadName: unknown
szModVer: 0.0.0.0 offset: 01ed2dc0

To view technical info...click here:

which brings up another dialog box, which reads:


Error Report Contents

The following files will be included in this error report:

C:\DOCUME~1\ROBERT~1\LOCALS~1\Temp\WERa0cf.dir00\httpd.exe.mdmp
C:\DOCUME~1\ROBERT~1\LOCALS~1\Temp\WERa0cf.dir00\appcompat.txt


One other thing:

There's a section of httpd.conf which reads:

#
# ServerName gives the name and port that the server uses to identify
itself.
# This can often be determined automatically, but we recommend you
specify
# it explicitly to prevent problems during startup.
#
# If your host doesn't have a registered DNS name, enter its IP
address here.
#
ServerName www.glassangel.com.com:80

glassangel is my domain, which is hosted on laughingsquid.net. I don't
know what the ServerName attribute would be named on my machine. Would
this have any effect on anything?
