Sigh.

I have Apache 2.2.3 installed and running on WinXP Pro SP2. I
installed PHP 4.4.5 and added the following lines in httpd.conf

PHPIniDir C:/PHP445/
LoadModule php4_module C:/PHP445/php4apache2.dll

When I restarted Apache, i got this error:

The Apache service reported the following error:
>>> httpd.exe: Syntax error on line 488 of C:/Program Files/Apache Software Foundation/Apache2.2/conf/httpd.conf: Cannot load C:/PHP445/php4apache2.dll into server: The specified module could not be found.

Turns out that php4apache2.dll requires libapr.dll, libaprutil.dll and
libapriconv.dll to load. These are Apache dlls and are supposed to be
present in Apache2.2\bin folder. I did not find these dlls here.

I re-installed Apache 2.2.3 but the above mentioned libapr* dlls did
not get installed.

What else can I try?

Interestingly, php5apache2_2.dll from PHP 5.2 is not dependent on
above mentioned libapr* dlls and PHP 5.2 loads correctly. I must use
PHP 4.* however.

Thanks
