The Specified Module Could Not Be Found

[Magikey]

I have tried everything to make my server work. when I test it in the browser at localhost/test.php, it works. When I try to test, start or restart the configuration, I get the following error:

httpd.exe: Syntax error on line 99 of c:/Program Files/Apache Software Foundation/Apache.2.2/conf/httpd.conf: Cannot load c:/php/php5apache2.dll into server: The specified module could not be found.

I must admit, I am very new to this. Or better yet, how can I change to run the IIS server instead? I am more comfortable using it as my localhost.

Either there is a typo in the path to c:/php/php5apache2.dll

or apache can not load a dll on which c:/php/php5apache2.dll is dependent.

Try adding c:\php to your system path.

You say localhost/test.php works? Seems like php may be mapped to php.exe rather than as a loaded module in apache.

Stick with apache. IIS has some really annoying quirks.

Where can I go to find out if it is mapped to php.exe rather than as a loaded module in apache? When I tell you that I'm a newbie, Boy am I a newbie with all CAPS!

Also, I failed to mention that whomever installed my windows onto my computer, my main drive isn't C. It is I. Does that make a difference? Before you ask, I used I instead of C.

Is there somewhere I can go to really read up on this and figure out this mess I've gotten myself into?

Find your httpd.conf file. Should be in {apache_home}/conf.
Search for .php it should show you something. Its been a while since I set one up....
